Chord Dave and lInear power supply
Late to the discussion, however I have also taken an upgrade path with the Dave - first with the M Scaler which added greatly to the depth, soundstage and detail (in a good way). Then last year, based on reviews and the fact that Sean Jacobs’ US t... 
why is it such a PIA to post a bloody photo here ? this platform is cranky as hell !
This is a new function. Previously it was ridiculously complicated to post pics. I mentioned this to AGon Cust Service and was basically told to pxss off. I’m glad they addressed the issue. It is now a simple copy/paste function - at least from ... 
Soft pops in one channel
Hadn’t thought of that.  Solved for now but I’ll keep a watch.  Thanks so much.    
PS Audio BHK signature preamp
I ran the BHK pre with BHK 300s for several years and enjoyed them immensely.   Ran on Focal Kanta 3 and Rockport Atria ii.  Strong recommend.

@mulveling I couldn’t A/B the GRFs with the Ks bit the dealer had smaller Wilson’s. Sasha’s I think.  They really didn’t sound much different at all from the Wilson’s - pretty clinical and not at all the warmth I had heard from my Mini Autographs ...

@mulveling Thanks for a very thorough post. I’m sure you’re right re comparative sweet spots. I wasn’t able to A/B Ks and Cs at the same dealer. (Although I remember distinctly disliking the GRFs. Didn’t have that Tannoy midrange “magic” to me.). ...

I have Kensingtons in a similar size room with one REL S/812.  I loved the Canterburys when demoed, but the dealer thought they might be a bit much for my room, though I must say they really energized the dealer’s listening room.  I often wonder…t... 
So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what?
When you are ready, add an M Scaler.  Makes a substantial improvement to my DAVE.

Thank you @steakster    Very helpful.    
Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker?
Another Tannoy-boy here.  I have both Mini Autographs and Kensingtons. I sold my Rockport Attia ii’s after auditioning the Kensingtons at Upscale.   Switched from D’Agostino Progressive to Pathos Heritage hybrid to complement the Kensingtons.  My ...

What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
I added the Sean Jacobs DC4/ARC6 external LPS to my DAVE stream (M SCALER/OPTO DX Galvanic isolator).  The LPS transformed what I thought was already a great DAC to something extraordinary.  My previous DAC was an OPPO SONICA tube modded by Modwri...

I have a NAIM UNITI ATOM with Tannoy Autograph Minis and REL Tx5 sub in my bedroom. 10x12.  It is a fabulous set up.  When my main system integrated went in for service I connected it to my Tannoy Kensingtons and it sounded great there too.
