Legacy Audio Focus SE and rivals
@livinon2wheels if you're still happy with older Sig III's, it's a no-brainer. Current Legacy models sound significantly better than the older models.   
EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions?
I preferred the LHY over the ER. If you can swing the LHY-10, it's even better. By quite a bit, actually.  
Best 4K Player in Terms of Transport Mechanism

Legacy Audio Stuff
It always cracks me up when I read negatives about Legacy speakers being bright or hard sounding.  That's the beauty of the internet - it's there forever.  I have owned Legacy for over 25 years now and never has one set of speakers sounded bright.... 
ifi Neo Streamer
I owned one for a 30 day trial period a few years back. At the time, I had a PS Audio DS DAC w/ bridge card. The NEO did not beat it for sound quality, so back it went. Also at that time, I felt all digital sounded the same since my experience sho... 
What exactly is PRaT???
@ghdprentice You're welcome! Yes, 40 years of being a drummer certainly doesnt hurt.  Knowledge of 'good' sound quality?  The only parameter with good SQ, is realistic or accurate. A cymbal (keeping it simple) that sounds compressed (ie squished d... 
What exactly is PRaT???
PRaT, the most asinine term ever invented in audio.  Talk about doing audiophiles a disservice....  My version of 'PRaT'? The volume knob. If I want to bang my head, I crank that S up!   
Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why?
I didn't return my P12, but after having to send it in for warranty repair for the second time, I decided to try an AQ Niagara 5000 conditioner.  Immediately loved the AQ.  My highs had returned and everything was much, much more dynamic.  It was ... 
Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources
Anything from Audio Sensibility new or used in your budget.  Neotech makes nice cable (if you can find it).  I can not recommend Pangea or Blue Dragon PCs from Moon Audio unless you prefer your highs to be rolled off.  I wasted money on those, was... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech no, I am simply asking for proof of your earlier post here: Based on the measurements of most Legacy designs, I would steer clear of them. Plus their custom drivers are not as impressive as they’d like us to believe. And I am still w... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech please don't cop out and pull the 'Google is your friend' to deflect your exaggerated response.  I asked you to point me to all of the measurements that you are referring to which say all Legacy speakers seemed flawed. Speakers as tone ... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
I'm still waiting on @helomech to point me to all of these published Legacy measurements which make him steer clear of this brand.  I see a couple very old reviews/measurements but nothing showing 'most Legacy models' as he put it.  Nothing even f... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech care to share links for 'most of Legacy's designs'  measurements that you speak of?  
Should I cash in?
I cashed in a over two years ago and sold my UDP-205 for nearly 3x what I paid. I even nodded it with an LPS from OppoMod to great success. Still, it couldn't compete with my then PS Audio DS DAC playing files off my server. And now, with a Lumin ...
