Looking for my End Game Speaker
@kennyc Gershman is a Canadian company; I have heard of them previously, but have never had a chance to audition them.  I will definitely add them to my Axpona list!  I have read about the speaker...but I think they look a bit odd, especially with... 
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@zuesman I'll definitely put Monitor Audio on my list!  Thanks!  A local dealer is doing a special listening session with the new Monitor Audio Hyphn later on during the month, so I'll probably drop by if I get a chance to hear them! @laaudionut ... 
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@kennyc  Thanks for your response!  I think you did really well going with the Vimberg Mino D (that's the Diamond tweeter upgrade correct?); the Vimberg are on my audition list as well.  My big concern is that they are rear vented.  I'm hoping to ... 
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@sounds_real_audio  Thank you for your recommendation!  My friend in Germany owns Wilson Benesch speakers… Endeavour3… He loves them! They are difficult to find in Canada. I will certainly try to listen to them when I’m at the show in Chicago.  
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@fastfreight   Thank you for the input… It shows on your profile that you had YG acoustic speakers previously. Were you not happy with them? Do you have the vivid audio speakers close to the wall? I heard the Kaya series at a local dealer… and wa... 
Pro re-design limited edition 3D power cord
@68pete Is this the new Illumination cable...or the Apparition?  I own the new Apparition power cord...and just recently acquired the Illumination RCA cable interconnect.  I love them both....!   Rick Schultz just launched some new waveguide ether... 
Grounding an Integrated Amplifer
@chayro  Well. That seems to make total sense!  Now I feel stupid asking such a newbie question.  So here’s a follow up question:  why aren’t turntable manufacturers making their components with grounded plugs?    
Acora speakers at Axpona
I auditioned the Acora SRC-1 when I was in Saskatoon.  A big shout out to Pulsworks; they are an amazing dealer...probably the best audio showroom setup I've seen in my entire life.  Anyways, David set up the SRC-1 audition with Moon North series ... 
Best One Country System?
Time to update my best System from Canadian companies:   Turntable: Kronos; Amplification/Streamer:  Simaudio Speakers:  Acora Acoustics Cabling:  Rick Schultz Audio This would sound incredible!!!!! :)    
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I have the Grimm MU1 streamer feeding into a Mola Mola Tambaqui.  I have tried running it direct to my Pass Labs XA30.8 amp versus through my Aesthetix Calypso Eclipse ...and there is a definite improvement going via the preamp.  Don't get me wron... 
High Fidelity Cables?
It appears that Rick Schultz is producing product again.  Apparition is his new cable.  Do a search on Audiogon listings.  They look pretty amazing!  I'm not sure his business model, etc...but I'm thrilled that he's still inventing new products!    
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
For those that own the Grimm MU1, what are your experiences with changes in the power cable?  My findings is that it didn’t make much of a difference in the sound. I currently use the Kubala Sosna Emotion power cord (a slightly warm cable imo). My... 
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
Has anyone purchased in Canada from Rick’s Canadian website since HFC closed?  Is he still shipping this product?    
Qobuz Coming to Canada!!!
I just wanted to let all fellow Canadian Audiogoners know that Qobuz is now available in Canada effective TODAY!!!!!    
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@fastfreight I see that you are selling (or have sold) your Aries G2.1/Sean Jacobs.  I'm guessing you're impressed with your Grimm MU1....I was wondering if you can share how the sound improved from the Aries/SJ combo to the Grimm.  Thank you in a...
