Absolutely agree. Well said

Love where your mind is at on this one and I tend to agree. I put plenty of miles on a stage 3 GTI without a hiccup. Time for the upgrade....

Much accelerated maintenance is key IMO.

I agree. Reliability for tuned subies VS VWs are two different things.... I have many family and friends with tuned audis and VWs that have put many miles on them with no issues. I have several friends that have blown motors on subies from minimal mods.... But you are correct, always a bit of a gamble regardless.

Way ahead oh you. Already had a full loaded stage 3 GTI in the past. Crazy bang for the buck.... Well see what happens with This one 😂. I pick it up on Thursday, yet I sold the other car already. Thanks BTW, dream car of mine.

Well shucks

You sir are such a tease. Bet that's a tasty one.

Interesting. After re reading that, yeah I can believe that. Youtube and Netflix surely have to be reasonably compressed due to the sheer amount of offerings. I don't own any blue rays and I am not a big movie guy, but based on my experience with testing DVD vs blueray on a quality production, I would have to agree.

Should I Revert to the best of disc's with laser errors?, or... Should I trust "error free" double checked disc readers and software? Who knows.... Oh... I do

I have experimented with hard disc to disc comparison MANY times and left disc behind 10 years ago or so ago...what are you hearing that I don't?

Where are you streaming from.... Honestly

Try a pair of b stock black speckled heresy IIIs and your mind WILL BE blown IMO. I just bought a pair of heresy III s for outside and...? They will lot ally make you laugh out loud how good they are.. Even at low volumes with any off the shelf amp @MetropolisLakeOutfitters

Start here, AVS and KLIPSCH forums are different breeds. IMO any sub worthy of excess in the musical realm at the level you guys are doing will satisfy 80% or so of HT enthusiasts. Most people DO NOT have a real HT space available....

I have one that did 😂. @LTD02 aka GSG Audio. Look em up. These guys have been awesome thus far. Eagerly awaiting a new animal of a sub any day now.
