Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
@erik_squires Erik, you make many valuable contributions to the site, but this approach where you actively work to stir up controversy is contributing to the negative tone of this site and that aspect is driving away many long-time valuable contri...

Btw, I just wanted to say how exemplary this thread is. Just pure, helpful, experience sharing and education. It's really a pleasure, thanks. If only the rest of the site could follow suit...

I've been researching dht preamps and am really looking forward to the report Stephen. Not sure it'll have enough gain to drive my F4s, but the VR preamp really looks great.

Great, thanks so much for the information JC. Always super informative to know the within-system pecking order...

@stephendunn Congrats on the outcome. I’d also be interested in how the SIT-1s would sound driven by a high quality tube (6sn7 or dht) preamp (perhaps you’ve already tried this?). I love Pass labs, but have read some mixed reviews of their preamps...

Still haven’t built my pair, but I’d like to take another opportunity to suggest the tempo Electric solid core 99.99% silver in oversized Teflon jackets. That’s basically the purist, most conductive wire available in one of the lowest dialectic in... 
DCS Network Bridge? Aqua LinQ Streamer?
I was looking into their dacs and found out Ben at mojo audio has a strong anti-i2s stance. That cued me to try my Mano's SPDIF output and it was indeed superior into my audio Mirror t3se, even using an old cheap cable. That led me to invest in th...
