Preamp connection to multiple powered subwoofers
@mijostyn You think not using a high pass filter is a problem even if the subs are built to receive a full range signal? My coincident pre's have sub cabinets with their own binding posts and an inductor to cross them at around 200hz. I just start... 
Streamers with best apps?
I use bubbleupnp on my Android tablet. It’s free (or<$10 if you want the ad free version) and works really great. I see people bitching about all these clunky apps all the time. It’s a professional product with great support. Honestly, I’d thin... 
PS Audio Direct Stream Dac & Bridge 2 Sound quality
@ozzy I think you made the right choice. With my perfectwave dac, adding the bridge made a huge improvement. I've since moved on, but the everyone convinced me never to use usb again. I think you'll be very happy.And this probably doesn't help giv... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
P.S. I bought subwoofer amplifiers for my coincident pre bass cabinets (the Dayton audio sa1000 audio kenesis uses for their swarm sub array) and had to change caps to avoid rolloff with their 12k input impedance. I tried janzen silver zcaps and m... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@c_avila1 I just opened this thread to ask people ( @grannyring ) about the front-to-back layering performance of the odams and then read your review... "My system was already very dimensional but now it's like wearing 3D goggles for my ears."I th... 
BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.
Have not yet, but will next time I'm making a mouser order... Looking forward to hearing them.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I like that this thread ended up with people buying both dacs under consideration and everyone coming away ecstatic about their systems.  Good work.

Thanks everyone for all the cap comparison reports. Please keep them coming.. all are super useful.  
Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25
I experienced this exact same result with my power cords in the amp. Have some custom furutech based cords that greatly improved my coincident Frankenstein mono blocks. The same cords made the xa25 sound worse than stock. 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@grannyring please do report back. Looking forward to hearing the outcome.  
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@alexberger I had the duelund silver bypass caps in my coincident Frankenstein’s (but only over the stock solen coupling caps) and really liked them. Could not hear any difference over the stock output caps in my pre though and sold them... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@atmasphere Yeah, I had them in the pre for a couple months of daily listening... would still love to try the cutf and odams. 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@wig Interesting. Looking forward to the report...& @atmasphere I also have absolutely no doubt that the vcap's sound amazing in your pre's. Would absolutely love to hear one.  
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
@atmasphere I’ve seen a ton of people love them, but they just didn’t work in my system .  The ds pre has two outputs and so it was super easy to switch back and forth between the Mundorfs and vcaps. In my pre, with a pretty large cap (2uf) right ...
