I wanted to get all this dialed in before fall and winter comes. Swiss digital fuse box here. Installed it. Giving it some time to breath. It is doing very nicely so far. Also got a Puron I will install after the fuse box settles in. Then I got a ...

' just don't make life too important to enjoy it. Appreciate and enjoy, that's my motto'. Beautiful and kind view Dan. Thank you for those words.  
WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP...
When I moved my listening seat 1 foot forward. But I don't know how long I am off it though..  
Did the Old Receivers Sound Good?
I had a Yamaha CR 820 and some Tannoy Cheviots in the late 70's. That combination is my baseline today. It was pretty much perfect to me. To each his own, right?

What are we objectivists missing?
  djones51 We can measure the audible spectrum for humans. We can even measure the spectrum for dogs and dolphins so I have no idea what your asking for. Thyname +1 You are confusing "listening" skills with "hearing" abilities. Not sure if on ... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
Thanks Bdp24. I have the Gaia III on one set of speakers and they were a nice improvement on carpet over concrete in my basement. And so I wanted the Gaia II on my other speakers also. Now I will get the pods and make my own out riggers. Nice and ...
