Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
“I have no idea at what cost level I should begin.” @audio-b-dog RE: Shunyata, Ask your dealer to allow home audition. Pick a mid-tier and another one on top of your budget within Shunyata range, listen and buy what sounds right with minimal colo... 
Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
+1, whole house surge protection. Given your current system, don’t compromise performance by installing Furman or similar type of surge protection devices. They will choke the life out of your audio system. And they can’t handle high current amp s... 
Is it the gear or the ears?
Thank you for sharing this—it’s a refreshing reminder of why we love music and the systems we use to play it. For me, enjoying music in its purest, unadulterated form in my personal space makes this hobby so fulfilling. It’s important to recognize... 
The Disappearing Act
@kevn Love the component choices. Field coils are often praised for their dynamic precision and tonal purity, and pairing them with the 4pi tweeters likely enhances the air and dimensionality of the soundstage. I had the similar experience when ... 
If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be?
There are so many great choices….I would recommend you to check out AQUA HiFi - La Scala DAC MK2

+1 I Like It!
“now it it gone from Qobuz!” @mclinnguy  I hear you, that’s one of the reason, I continue to build my library via downloads or Vinyl. I got my copy of Blues for K on preorder -:) https://elusivedisc.com/tsuyoshi-yamamoto-trio-blues-for-k-numbere... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
@zuesman Thanks for your post. Any thoughts or direct experience with Neotech NEMOP-3300 power cable?  https://www.neotechcable.com/NEMOP-cable.html  
Where to Place Network Switch
@pgaulke60  Can you connect Ansuz D2 to your router using mainline Ethernet cable? Assuming this is the long run cable that connects to your dCS from modem. This will allow flawless communication between the devices (streamer + D2 and Nucleus). B... 
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
@navyachts  In that case, I doubt the inexpensive isolation devices being recommended likely yield any significant benefit to sound quality. Atleast that’s been my experience!   
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
Accuphase but they maybe out of your budget. Consider them a long term investment as they are built to last lifetime.   
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
Whenever there is an opportunity to attend, I am there. Live concerts often include unique improvisations, interactions, or surprises that you won’t find in studio recordings. I dig the energy, acoustics and atmosphere, especially when the setting... 
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
@navyachts  Did you check with Bricasti if your network card has a built-in galvanic isolation?
