The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype

World’s Best Cable 7 awg
I made my favorite speaker cables out of 10ga 36 strand tinned copper cloth covered wire that was stripped out of an old telephone relay station in the 1980's.    
Shunyata Gemini or Hydra Delta D6 & What XC cable
My personal experience is that the XC's are best for the Hydra conditioners and that the NR's are best for components. My latest "discovery" has been that an Alpha NR V2 works best for the CD transport but also that the Delta V2 NR is needed for t... 
PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100
It might be helpful to inject some cross-slang here and see if any insightful daydreams come forth. "Tubular"  
PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100
My Cornwall 4's are moved by an arrangement of components that have proven to be very well matched to the task.. The PL EVO 400 Pre is sandwiched between a Holo May KTE DAC and a pair of AGD Audion Mk3 monoblocs. The CD transport is a Jay's CDT3 M... 
Trojan Warning?
Just added Audiogon Forum to allowed sites, so that will presumably stop the screen warnings.

Trojan Warning?
I have seen no Trojan warnings today. By the way I am subscribed yearly to Malwarebytes, but I am not a "premium" member, so I am open to the possibility that they may have been trying to scare me a little into the more expensive package.  
Trojan Warning?
Well, I attempted a screenshot which did not show up in my downloads, but now the warning has gone away. I suppose taking a screen shot is a new antivirus move. LOL Will keep you apprised if it shows up again.

I feel for you
You are reminding me that I still have my cast iron CNC table which used to make intricately sculpted 3D chair parts for my woodworking business. Every time I walk by it in the shop I think how tempted I would be to make speaker cabinet parts with... 
Shunyata Gemini or Hydra Delta D6 & What XC cable
I use an old Shunyata Hydra 4 and plug only the CD transport source into it - everything else goes to the wall which is a dedicated line. The CD transport cable is an old Shunyata Alpha V2 NR which has always been composed and slightly treble poli... 
Cryo?
It can make tubes quite fragile however. In an earlier period in the journey I purchased some cryo'd tubes with two of them breaking in transit. They were replaced by seller, but that is the last time I ever bought cryo'd tubes. There are too many... 
What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate?
But I don't want to sell anything.
