Where to put best interconnects
If you have one very good new set of XLR cables and one older but still good set, the best placement depends on your system’s signal chain.  Between the Source and Preamp: This is often the most critical connection because the signal is at its lo... 
BS meter is pegged!
“and in direct comparison w an insane $ WADAX stack… it held ground” @tomic601  The 3 box design at $80K retail, I would expect few to be impressed and others to simply shake their heads in disbelief.   For a product at this price, the market is... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@tksteingraber Thanks for posting the picture of SDFB. @carlsbad2 It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought and effort into addressing a concern from some of us. I am ok with slugs but don’t want a pigtail in the signal path so let’s see if ... 
BS meter is pegged!
I wonder how many here would be willing to pay upto $24K for a streamer/server that falls short on one of most important aspect of end user experience…software implementation. And chokes on WAV file playback.   
WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X
@jc51373 Your ‘beef’ with @gestalt is well known here. My advice would be to focus on subject on hand rather than allowing past disagreements with someone clouding your judgement. As far as my post, I was merely recommending a product that I ha...

“I traded the Circle Labs amp/pre for the New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp and Stradavari pre and they sound wonderful with the SONs.” @hchilcoat  Congratulations! To my ears, this was indeed the most beautiful pairing when I last visited @gestalt....

Linear Power Supply Recommendations!
Thank you @jond and @carlsbad2 for your recommendation. @noromance LOL..I am not going to venture tube LPS for Optical Bridge. I got the tube magic where it matters the most (phono).   
Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
@audio-b-dog  I hear you, for many of us; it’s a balancing act—pursuing your passion for high-fidelity sound while keeping harmony at home. Ultimately, it’s about finding that sweet spot where your passion and your partnership coexist harmoniousl... 
Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
@audio-b-dog  That’s a good starting point and should give you a good perspective on how a power conditioner works in your system. If you like what you hear then V16 + whole surge protection device in your main breaker box should set you up nicel... 
Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier
@jfrmusic  I would not get discouraged to try power cords within your budget. One of the blind buy off off eBay, turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. I picked up OYAIDE VONDITA-X 1.8m power cord for under $600. I am still breaking-in this c...
