AI (Audiogon Intelligence)
Weaponizing new technology is part of the game.  Alfred Nobel developed nitroglycerin and dynamite to improve the efficiency of large construction projects, removal of material.  And then, Volkswagen-sized projectiles tossed 22 miles at other thin...

+5 mahler123 Inexplicable. Complete trust in AI for everything is an unfathomable human trait in some.  As a monitored and understood tool, fine.  But, one can quickly search out hundreds of anecdotal examples of GPS catastrophes running drivers ... 
Better cd SQ
+1 mksun for Jay’s.  Just installed Jay’s CDT 3 MK3 transport into my wife’s system and it is revelatory.  Never experienced a transport with such detail, sound stage and overall authority.  Previously, best transport was a CEC belt drive.  And it...

Used price Zeiss DAC 204 would be difficult to beat.  Best of luck on your journey.  
Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console?
whatjd +1, perhaps +10.  Great print ads.  And how did those of that era figure out how NOT to have a nuclear winter.  Professional dog trainers have it right, "leave it, come".  
Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console?
Must admit……do not get any of this.  So you want speakers firing at my knees?  And the drivers suffering suffocating boxitis?  They sound seriously confined.  Only commenting on sound reproduction, not the desire to live retro cool mid-century. l... 
Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active?
Addendum.  Besides being an audiophile, I’m a financial guy.  Purchasing quality once as opposed to chasing product multiple times is from a fiduciary aspect far more responsible. A car addict friend of mine owned over 300 vehicles.  His statemen... 
The Emperor Has No Clothes!!
Man, I’ve got to stop wandering into bad neighborhoods.  
Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active?
My gate swings both ways.  I run ATC active and passive....and love them all! ATC 50 and 40 actives, ATC SCM 20 and 7.  Why not?  I feel as if the only 'fault' ATC transducers have, is an unforgiving nature towards everything in front of them.  T... 
Help . . . I’m dumber than my active speakers!
Can only assume these are new and need serious break-in time. Simple as that.  I've no experience with that active, only with several ATC actives and they are quite good in the areas of expectation mentioned. As I understand, your above system is... 
Power cable Advice...
I run a loom of Furutech 4.1 terminated with the Fururtech's best connectors for my power cables.  They are fast, detailed and dynamic.  And I'm not compensating, don't need to.

Thanks.  I'm good.  
Linn Classik cd/tuner/ integrated amplifier
I owned one for a few years.  For a one box it is decent.  They claim 75 watts, but that is fully.  Split that in half per channel.  You need run bananas only.  My CD tray needed some attention after I shipped it home from a contract doubled boxed... 
Jazz LP Audiophile Recommendations
I’ve “Blues for Tee”, “Midnight Sugar”, “Misty” and “Autumn in New York”.  All are Three Blind Mice and extraordinary.  XRCD and FIM are also quite good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyoshi_Yamamoto Best success in your search.  
How long does Class A have?
Wow.  You just knew the dybbuks would emerge and seize the narrative.  So a majority is always right.  Rarely.  William Lendrum Mitchell, Brigadier General tried convincing the navy that projected air power would be considerable in the future.  Th...
