Top Ten Rock Vocalists
Usually these lists just turn into a list of everyone that everyone can think of.Maybe the OP needs to do a tally?For me, Freddie Mercury tops the list by far. He had it all. I'm not even a huge Queen fan so to me it isn't just about what I like. ... 
What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
I agree with bdp24 in regard to being a music lover and an audiophile. Being an audiophile puts icing on the cake but the cake is the music. I have enjoyed and been moved by music coming out of the crudest devices since I can remember.My unknown a... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Why would multi-thousand dollar components come without adequate power cables? In fact, presuming power cables do make a significant difference, why wouldn't a $5-10k amp or pre-amp have just exactly the right power cable for its specific design? ...

New $24,000 inter-connect
I disagree with the idea that if you have lots of money you should be prone to, obligated to or dumb enough to buy things that are idiotic. Granted, being ultra-rich does seem to make some people very stupid. But to pay $24,000 for an interconnect... 
Whats playing on your system today?
That would be a good topic for a thread...stuff you like but don't like to admit it.One of my all time guilty favorites: The T-bones' No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's InListening to it now.

What can I do with an old Harbeth M30 midrange driver
If we can put together a couple of free midranges, bass drivers and tweeters I'll take them and build my own speakers!I'll even create a thread to document my progress or utter lack thereof. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Well, I'm not man enough to admit that I bought an Air Supply LP.....and I never have.But, a few months ago we were in a record store and my wife bought Don Henley's album with Sunset Grill and Boys of Summer on it. Pristine condition, plays like ...

In the Air Force the saying was that if you complain about a problem long enough someone of higher rank will finally.............tell you to stop. 
New $24,000 inter-connect
" I believe the title of this post will be the title of the history book that chronicles the great societal uprising and revolution."I totally agree. Let's start it now. There are a lot more of us in the $1000 interconnect population than in the ... 
Questions about Node 2i
Hmmmmm. Playing my ripped CDs from iTunes/BitPerfect through Apple TV and into Schiit Modi 2 Uber via Toslink does sound rather close to doing the same thing directly from computer into DAC via USB cable. Maybe subtle differences but hard to call ... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
But some of you have thousand dollar interconnects right? Is it legit for those with $50 RCA cables (using some right now) to make fun of you and call you foolish for wasting your money? 
Questions about Node 2i
That will be easy enough for me to try using my newer iMac. The current iMac I'm using as a server is over 10 years old and sits next to my system on a table. It is not going to fit in the new built in shelves I'm building for my system (and hundr... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
I've said this before but I'll say it again because it is telling. When I hear that someone paid $1000 for a pair of interconnect cables I think it is nuts. (Although the ones I have may have been close to that.) They, the buyer, thinks it is grea...
