Modifying PS Audio DirectStream DAC
This is an example of what amazes me when it comes to stereo equipment.  In Canada, the PS Audio DirectStream DAC retails for close to $9000.  Then PS Audio suggest parts you can replace inside to improve the sound?  Why then, at $9000, weren't th... 
New member interested in selling pair of Vandersteen 1ci; sane shipping methods?
Use local shipping companies.  I had the same issue in Canada with UPS and FedEX.  3k - 5k quotes.  Found a regional shipper who delivers all across Canada & US.  $580 for the same shipment (tower speakers) fully insured.  Have used them again...

Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears

Most highly anticipated LP reissues on 2022?
Don't forget to check out the great work Iris did with her long time friend John Prine.  
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
I see the Blade is a 4 Ohm speaker.  I have read that the 4 Ohm draw can be a problem for some amps, drawing too much current, causing clipping and in some cases damage to the amp.  When using an integrated amp, is the answer to simply have enough... 
How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?
Audiophile or not, I try to take a moment every day, to look around my surroundings (works well on the golf course) and just remind myself how fortunate I am.  Not to be corny about it, but let's be honest, anyone on this site aint living in a tin...
