| DCS Bartok APEX or LINA and master clock Yes I heard the Rossini Apex it makes the old Bartok sound like a squishy toy. Apex is 3 improvements. The processors are twice as fast, the software is sleeker and analog stage improvements. It’s night/day. It’s more natural and less digititus. ... | |

| Advice for bookshelf speakers @dayglow yes I heard the PS10 mofi speaker at capital audiofest. You can beat them but you need over 10k to do that for a YG Acoustics bookshelf. They are a solid 8/10 for any price range. You need deep pockets to beat them. | |

| Luxman 590AX II Break-In My Luxman 590 took about 500 hours BUT a few tips….PLUG IT DIRECTLY INTO A WALL SOCKET! It hates any power strips or conditioners. You also need a bigger power power cable for it like a Kubla Sosna Elation! Mine was $2500 at GTT Audio. I tried 5 ... | |
| Power cable dilemma $40 is not a high end cable. Pangea uses a tiny amount of thin cheap cardas copper. It’s an in house brand from a mail catalog! It’s not even a real cable company. | |

| Power cable dilemma I like how he does not mention what “high end” power chord he purchased. Most older power cables are not great anymore and cable technology has made quantum leaps over the past 5 years!!! Try a 2 meter $2500 Kubala Sosna Elation! let it WAR... | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp VuJaDe audio can build you a custom one for your system for that price range. My friend Karl Tam makes them. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Okay a few things…Wilson’s are not dull! The cables are the worst and Dagastino gear is more musical now and takes away some bite. The average Wilson dealer does this stupid combination and if it is an NYC dealer they will always put the speakers... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I HEARD THEM AT CAF and it’s $3699 and nothing under 10 k can touch them and only a few speakers under 20k can beat them. They are completely amazing and outstanding, and they were hooking it up to mid level HiFi rose. Imagine what they can do ho... | |
