EverSolo Streamer
Hi Kota1, I haven’t directly compared this unit to other streamers. I would expect that higher end streamers sound better, but doubtful there would be a very significant improvement. I have not yet tested the internal DAC and will do so tomorrow....

Thanks edcyn! I will check out Idagio. Sounds very interesting.  
Use of Switch to Improve Streaming Quality
Jerry, the TWL looks very interesting. Some great write-ups. I glanced quickly at Sablon site. Not cheap, but i understand they custom build to order.  
Use of Switch to Improve Streaming Quality
Thanks Jim. The Eno filter looks very intriguing. In searching on reviews and further details on the Eno, i became aware of the English Electric 8 switch by Chord. These two products seem to be effective in some measure to improving sonic performa...

Thanks for your viewpoint @raysmtb1 and appreciated. So that would be one negative on the insertion of a switch.  
cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970?
There has been significant advancement in speaker technology. Loudspeaker designers such as Alon Wolf of Magico use complex computer analysis and design tools to create a speaker with lower distortion and a more cohesive sound. This is accomplishe... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
From what I’ve experienced, the further up one goes in quality level within a manufacturer’s line, the law of diminishing returns applies. Most manufacturers have a sweet-spot offering that gets 90-95% of the performance of their reference line. A...

While I have asoft spot for ARC having owned some of their monoblocks, preamps, and a balanced line driver, the fact is these components when they go wrong can be very expensive to fix, and outside of the factory itself, its not easy to find quali... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
@Mr_Bill, thanks for the heads up! Indeed, the 50 series looks fascinating and in my opinion the right product to go to market with. Next, great marketing to reach Millennials with extra cash to get their first really nice system. If I was in prod... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
@ghasley, if you will pardon my saying so, sales is always the problem. One would have to think that the requisite number of sales to service the debt, then generate a working profit, was not attained, likely over a period of years. The challenge ... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
That is very sad news. Second piece of sad new I received today ( a dear friend passed away a day after back surgery). I believe that Audio Research could have revived their brand, by appealing to the average income audiophile. Those that can affo... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
Funny you should mention that. A lot of good components are getting way over the top expensive. I certainly do not think more expensive = always better.  
Transparent Audio Quality
Interesting. Thanks. I will research these further.  
Transparent Audio Quality
Hi Harris4crna, Thanks for sharing. Yes the prices of the latest Ultra and higher are really on the dear side for my rather humble pocketbook. But I get what you are saying on keeping your Ultras. May I ask what type you have discovered to be as ...
