Pandora again, and now Spotify too...
I got started with Pandora and also really liked their set up with their stations. I use a Grace digital on one of my set up and can't beat it for the price.   
Decent speakers for mid-level AVR
I think B&K made great stuff so you can't go wrong there. I used one of their amps for 20 years and it never missed a beat. As far as speakers go, I'm totally hooked on the Totem sound and would highly recommend listening to some if you ever g... 
On or Off - On or Off - Audio Electronics
Damn, I thought this was going to be oil thread.  Off of course. You mean leaving it on all the time changes the innards somehow so it will sound better?   
Power cord upgrade for ATC 100A Active Speakers
You guys are lucky, I upgraded most of my power cords and couldn't tell a difference.   
When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?
I love totem speakers and actually looked at those myself but didn't have room for anymore speakers at this time.  I bought a pair of "rough" looking Totems on ebay a few years ago but since they were so cheap and were going to be garage speakers... 
Aerial model 5 woofer replacement
I recently went thru that with a different brand of speakers and they (the company) wanted $300 for a new woofer X 2 since they said the woofer had changed so they wouldn't sound right otherwise.  I bought these speakers used cheaply so there was... 
8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC
I could never afford an expensive DAC such as that but applaud people that can and have the hearing to tell a difference.   I did buy a couple of cheap ones just for the heck of it to decide if I could even tell a difference. The 1st one yes, and... 
SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp
That's what is good about being old and have tinnitus, all amps sound the same.   
just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!
I just got another cat that thinks the whole house belongs to her unlike my last one that didn't bother anything so I can relate to this thread.  Good idea as the only I could come up with so far is putting black garbage bags over the speakers th... 
Totem rainmaker woofer
Yes I did and didn't change anything but thanks for the suggestion.   
Totem rainmaker woofer
Thank you sir.  
Sonus vs fr5
I have the Sonetto 2's (nonG) and think it's one of the smoothest speakers I've ever owned and would never consider it bright compared to a lot I've owned. Never heard the PS Audio tho.   
Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls?
The internet has made everybody argumentative.  I couldn't afford them. but always wanted to hear J.A.'s and several other of the brands listed but with no dealers close by that would even remotely carry that stuff? Probably better off since I mi... 
thinking of buying used Dynaudio contour 5.4to replace totem Forest with 2 Rel 9x ‘s.
I used to own a pair of the Dynaudio 5.4 and thought they definitely needed a sub and were way too revealing for my tastes. As long it is was great recording and most anything but rock, they sounded good but otherwise?  I also own a pair of Totem... 
Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised?
I accidentally pushed in one of my tweeters moving the speaker and believe me, my heart sank and thought the worst as these were NOT cheap speakers. I got some tape and very gently got the dome returned to it's original shape, it sounds fine, and...
