| Quicksilver with Walnut Faceplates at Aural HiFi Johnny is a great guy to deal with. I bought my Quicksilver Headphone amp from him. Quicksilver is a high value proposition. I ran my Mid Monos with a Zesto Leto preamp and I could not believe how good those amps sounded. Totally not out ... | |

| Musetec Audio MH-DA005 ES9038 Pro x2 DAC VS the Lab12 dac1 reference Tube Hybrid Dac No experience with the Musitech but the LAB 12 is a great sounding DAC. I have until June to trade it toward something 2x the price and I am pretty sure I will hang on to it for a while . It is good. | |

| 2023 Audio System Wish List I am having a preamp built, that's my last piece to the puzzle for a while. Maybe another set of DH Labs RCA cables..... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? I got out of work early.... listened to a crappy car stereo all day.
