What has the biggest impact of sound quality in your Hi-Fi system?

Yes, but that subject was touched upon in the article.

I laugh at setups that have elevated speaker cables.

Whaaat? This is a new one for me. Is that really a thing?

A quality subwoofer did if for my ears.

It is real, and I don't think it is that new.

Yep, and let's not forget about ERS paper.

One thing is for sure. If I think the recording sucks, I would never play it again no matter what sound system I have.

Many of us have spent years trying to procure a sound system that we think sounds best.

So now the only thing left to do is to add the recordings we think sound best to our current collections.

Yeah, I've got a few LPs that will never be played again.
The lack of soundstage is my biggest gripe:
Infamous hole-in-middle; or singer's voice in the middle, but all the instrumentation only in one channel, as if they were all standing inside a 4 ft circle. Totally insane.
