While YMMV on individual setups, the biggest improvements in my case were the addition of an Antelope clock and Zerozone LPS to the Etherregen as wellas adding an LHYAUDIO Ocxo switch with built in LPS in front of it., I don‘t believe that a mere ...

Dumbest cable question
Thanks @nonoise, Gilmore has the musician’s authority without having any agenda of his own on this subject. I suggest those that can’t hear it to have their ears checked or to look for another hobby.  
Monstrous power cables
Methinks what’s really missing in this thread is a reflection on litz vs. solid core. To my ears solid core (Acoustic Revive, Nordost et al) wins out every time in direct comparison with location accuracy, transparency and impulse response. Those ...
