High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
While I have not tried the aforementioned HiFi Cable products mentioned, I have been lucky enough to try the New Kid On the Block. I will say that this contact enhancer is absolutely phenomenal.  I echo the sentiment and experiences of others who ...

Millercarbon, I understand now as you explain it fully.  I hope that Krissy is able to come up with something that works with your transformer.  :-)

Coax to BNC connection for digital
I use the DH labs d750 which is terminated with rca on the transport end and bnc on the dac end.  No adapter necessary.   It is an excellent cable imho.  https://silversonic.com/products/digital-cables/d-750/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0Z...

A new chapter has begun.

I am an new owner of the ref 6 and Ref75se.  FWIW, They are still breaking in, but they are magical.  Smooth grainless highs.  Not bright either.  Just natural timbre.   
The Future of Audio Amplification
My class D ARC DS450 was a honey of an amp. Full of power, with an extremely tight and controlled sound. I completely appreciate the virtues of class D, especially having owned a quality class D myself. However, now that I have all tubes, with a R...
