Maestro ac outlets! Made my entry level system sound damn GOOD! I did the review on these outlets too soon because these outlets are still improving every day... more open and more spacious sound as they settle-in more! Look at my review

Lyra Delos, 1. Series

After 30 years in this hobby, I have found one piece that I think qualifies in answer to your question: the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC. When I found this, I was about to despair over Redbook CD reproduction. Now I think I may be close to the end of my search for a truly musical sounding system.

Usually every new piece of equipment I buy! Or even rearranging my old equipment can have unexpected pleasant suprises.

Each piece was an integral step forward, but I do not think I could get there with my budget without the modern OHM Walshes.
