Isn't it really about quality of recording?
To me it’s, to borrow from math and data science, Garbage in, Garbage out. A bad recording will probably sound bad on a good system depending on how resolving it is.  
Best streamer for a returning audio guy
Another +1 for Bluesound Node and Qobuz. I have both Qobuz and Tidal, and for most stuff prefer Qobuz. Luckily they both offer free trials, sometimes for a month or three. Try both and stick with the one you like. The Node is also Roon ready, whic... 
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"
@amorstereo cool review. I am on the lookout for a stand mount below $2000 for my Lyngdorf TDAI-1120, after sending my Buchardt A500’s back after evaluation ( just did not resonate with me, lacked sparkle). I look forward to your review of the LSA... 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Luxman 505uxII. Love it. 
Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?
Standard Boomer nonsense. @michaelsherry59 is nothing but a troll. 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
I feel sorry for Boomers that think that good music was only during the 60’s and 70’s…Every decade has had good music…and bad. 
replace Mcintosh with Luxman
I’ve owned Mcintosh (MA5300) and now Luxman (L505uXII), and for me, I love the Luxman. There is just something for me that clicked.

Currently a Luxman L505uxII. I just love it, looks great, sounds great. 
BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member
OP, that really sucks, it’s situations like this that make me wish physical harm on these scammers. I’ve been lucky so far and have not been personally scammed, but I and several others assisted a guy a few years back on another site to “persuade”... 
Apple Music Lossless sounds great
Personally, I don’t think it sounds any better than Tidal or Qobuz, Spatial audio/Atmos is, I think, a gimmick. Of the songs I tested, some were merely disconcerting as We don’t sit in the middle of a stage with musicians playing around us, the st... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
Nonsense, the device is Roon ready. Their app, is also probably fine. Regardless, they seem very responsive and update their firmware and software fairly often. I am going to order one soon, and I’ll let you know my experience. 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
Has anyone had any experiences with the Q Acoustics Concept 500? 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
so I went and listened to the Goldenear Triton One.r and, in my opinion, it was light years ahead of the Triton 2+. I was able to listen to them in the same room side by side, and the One.r hands down. It's a real contender. Also, I was able to li...

I do have a Totem dealer just south of me, I'll have to check them out.
