@pumpweel I know these helix builds intimately as you know having built many, many iterations. I have always shared they are as good as many big dollar cables and a great value. I still believe that. Time goes on, and since I am intentionally cu... 
A better way to stream
Fiber does reduce noise greatly and is a good streaming solution/upgrade. No doubt. I have found the Network Acoustics ENO combo filter and cable package simply sounds better. More natural tone and improved musicality. The filter is small and pass...

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@facten   Colin answered your questions and I will only add this. All tubes, both preamp and power tubes, must be biased. If they are not, then they will burn up! The method used by Circle Labs is quite ingenious. Being a geeky tweaker I have d... 
How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?”
Yes, I want the instruments and voice to sound real. Realism is vital for me. I have had a good measure of it over the past decade. This increases my enjoyment and immersion into the music. Can hardly think of a sonic attribute more important…at l...
