Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together
@ozzy I have a half dozen of these types of devices and the Telos is on my to do list. But I doubt there is many of us who can get 10 purons and multiple Telos. Perhaps pull them all out and do a head to head, 1x Telos v Puron? This would give a ... 
Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
@cleeds He worked for Nordost for 3 years 2009-2011, after which he went back to audio journalism. It’s (par for the course) dishonesty to misinform people here by saying he works for Nordost. Is it possible to work in the industry for a time (12 ... 
Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
One thing I will mention, according to Roy Gregory, who has reviewed many Nordost QRT products (for decades literally) in the UK, the QB8 performs better than the QB4.  You think they would be identical except for outlet number, but that’s what t... 
Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
OK I have a mk3 incoming and will test directly against the mk2. Apparent changes are; the internal PCB's are redesigned, with the ground plane now on its own dedicated PCB with more of a focus on ground sink tech. And the internal wiring is now... 
what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials?
My friend is running a Hegel H390 and it seems a perfect match for them (in that 5k price range). He got the idea from other owners of the Heritage also using this combination.  
High Fidelity Cables?
The RCA connectors on the Apparition cables look wild.  
Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question
@mgrif104 I have the Nordost QB8 v2 and Nordost power cables and had the exact same experience as you. Dont be put off that your cables now cost x multiples more than the rest of the system. Cable ancillaries have the highest markup so they tend ... 
High Fidelity Cables?
This is all started for example by @csmgolf who has no idea what they talking about and just make stuff up, repeating a forum post from another anon who made stuff up. Rick is the sort of person who does free upgrades for clients, he bends over b... 
Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
I have the mkII QB8 and want to know his much better the mkIII is.  
Length of SPDIF cable
Apparently this whole thing about longer spdif cable length (and it was common to also use 1.23 and 1.25) being better was due to the 1990’s spdif receiver chips in older DAC/transport combos being susceptible to cable reflections. It’s not suppo... 
Nordost Tyr2 vs Valhalla1 Powercord
A set of Tyr2 power cables is my next upgrade, to replace Hiemdall2. But I need 5 of them.  
T+A Amps and Preamps?
I had always seen an occasional review, but not much forum discussion of the brand. Until now that is, T&A seems to be getting some attention with the 200 series digital products and their headphone line.  
T+A Amps and Preamps?
@audiotroy its now been some years since your very passionate posts on T&A. What has occurred since then? Do you even still carry the line? If not what happened?  
Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey
I'm a bit late to the game with isolation having only tried Herbie's products. They used to work for me and after a few rounds of component changes, the magic just wasn't there. In fact, those footers were having a negative effect so I stopped co... 
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
@chilli42 did you compare the Weiss+Lumin streamer to just using Weiss' own network renderer? The Weiss alone with a good app like jPlay iOS may be just as good (perhaps superior?) to using the Lumin in between.
