My Snubway and Main Stream Master Class Combo Review
I ordered my second set of Snubway, Mainstream and 2 Graphene Sluggos late August.  Still no update on shipping.  Victim of their own success and Labor Day Sale Discounts.  Chalk it up to growing pains getting their business set up in the US.  It ... 
Ohm Speakers Status Update
I have not experienced what you describe with my Ohm Walsh Tall 2000’s.  Live recordings with these Ohm’s are so real and  lifelike.  Have you tried those tracks on another speaker to confirm it is your speakers and not something else?

Anyone have experience or knowledge with the Gustard clocks C-16 and C-18 used with the R-26?   
Gustard C16 clock
Pretty sure your connection is R26 (set ext clock) bnc to clock and U18 bnc to clock then to Dac.  
Gustard C16 clock
Oh sorry misunderstood your dilemma. Clock only has a single cable connection

 Not sure how much I can contribute since I own and rolled tubes in a Cabernet not a Cortese.  All tubes make a difference.  My preferred rectifier is a ‘58 RCA 5R4GY brown base ST shape.  Another bargain is a Sylvania 5U4GB USN Tall straight bott... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Excellent fuse explanation A+++.  You got my vote as well.  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I have not noticed any treble softening.  In fact it sounds clearer to me.  Really made everything cleaner and clearer on my system.   
DAC upgrade from RME
 Take a look into the Lab 12 Reference DAC.  NOS DAC that is very analog sounding. It’s built for USB but has Toslink and Coax.  Music room sells new and used ones.  Also, USAM has ones on occasion.   
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@teajay Thanks for the clarification.  Mitch2 had mentioned he was waiting 3 weeks due to LTA waiting on cases to arrive.    
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Is LTA shipping these now or are they taking preorders?  Also, a lot of hype on the Laiv Harmony DAC out there…wonder how the 2 compare🤔
