Re: Favorite Upgrade, Addition, and/or Game Changer in your System..
I've got to say set up. And not my own set up. I worked with my gear in my room for over 2 years and it always felt like something was off or being left on the table. I kept doing down gear research rabbit holes. Then Skip came over one afternoon and spent about 3 hours working on the set up, and I have to say he accomplished more in those three hours than I did in 2 years. It did require a few tools I didn't own (nothing crazy, mostly just various leveling tools beyond a bubble level), but no new equipment was brought into the equation.
While plenty of other gear has made big impacts, and is certainly more fun than a set up, I encourage everyone to seek out a professional you trust to bring their expertise to your room set up. You can read every strategy on the planet, but it's hard to beat good ol' fashion experience.
And for those that want tips on where to find someone to assist with a set up - go to shows. If a dealer can make a hotel room sound pretty good with only an evening or two to work with, they can probably help make your room sound pretty good as well.

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
In lieu of a thread titled "You’re doing it RIGHT......"
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old college graduate who was lucky enough to land a job in my field of study. The job is located in my hometown. Because I couldn’t afford my own apartment, I moved back in with my parents. The situation was supposed to be temporary, but now that I can afford to move out, my parents insist that I stay with them.
They forbid me to move until I pay off the entirety of my student loans, which will take years. Then, after I accomplish that, they want me to start repaying them for the loans THEY took out for my schooling.
A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE GOVERNMENT

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
The USPS, the undisputed champions of doing it wrong.
3 shipments from 3 different places and all 3 are, as of right now, somewhere unknown. How is that even possible!?!

Re: New Adcom 555ms with SDA-2B
In my time rebuilding the levinson amp so far... Most modern day capacitors are smaller than the ones used back in the day but if all of the specs are very close, ripple, esr, etc... Not that dramatically so.
The only way I have seen you could dramatically reduce the size would be compromise on some of those ratings
