Morrow power cables
Jerry…LMAO…good one! @rockysantoro why Morrow? It does rhyme with santoro but I hope there’s a more logical reason.  By the way there are a lot of good power cords out there from small as well as major brands at pretty much any price point. Just ...

Hahaha ok. I spent time detailing it for you in my reply on 6/19. Whether you read that or not, or read and didn’t understand it, you came back with it’s all 1s and 0s argument. So my recommendation was for you to get more information from what wa... 
Passive preamp
@jjss49 I thought all MDX board M3 units are remote control ready. But verify with Bricasti.  
Burn in vs perception
@w123ale you’re working on your room and now the sound of the 1 year old demo speakers is more to your liking. By working on your room I assume you mean acoustic treatments, repositioning of speakers and some furniture, etc…things that can impact ...

Read up on these forums, watch videos on YouTube, read magazine reviews…educate yourself.  Good luck.

If digital is 1s and 0s then why are you bypassing the Bluesound built in DAC and going to an external dac? What am I missing? Because based on your understanding as long as it’s ones and zeros neither the streamer nor the dac matter, right? But t...

@pmm it would not help the resale in any way. If it works, use it if you want to keep it, or sell it in working condition. If it doesn’t work, figure out next steps.  Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. Doesn’t add value no matter how you twist it.   
Quick Question About Power Cables
I see. Is the Bryston streamer fully broken in? I would wait for it to hit 200hrs mark unless it’s used. As to the power cords, try Audience AU24se medium power, Audioquest Tornado Source, Shunyata Delta or Alpha - go used. Do your research on pr... 
Quick Question About Power Cables
Biggest difference power cables make is on the amplifier. Go up the component chain from there.  If you’re running your amp into the power conditioner, try running it directly from the wall outlet. Keep the source components in the power condition... 
Quick Question About Power Cables
@goofyfoot without waiting for your answer, changing the power cord on the streamer is unlikely to give you the results you’re looking for. If you list the rest of your components and cables, you will probably get a better advice.   
Quick Question About Power Cables
Why do you think the streamer is the issue?

The albums you have stored on your hard drive as Apple Lossless (ALAC or AIFF I assume) may not always be the same versions of those albums you would stream from Qobuz. Original in AIFF vs. remastered and or high res on Qobuz for example.    As t...

I want to add, pay attention to the warnings above on starting vinyl from scratch.  Not worth it. @vonhelmholtz nailed it - it will take an uber expensive analog set up to be on par with good digital. Take what you were planning to spend on table ...

The older SF speakers were voiced much warmer and darker than their latest models. I would encourage you to listen to their new lines. Add Harbeth to your list as well. +1 on that recommendation above.  Newer DACs will help with lower level liste...
