CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
Almost any CD transport is a huge upgrade to a CD player because you are using a high end DAC rather than an onboard dac that is limited by cost, size, and market factors.    
EQ Use and Unequal Hearing Loss
You have basicly imitated a high quality hearing aid.  Hearing aids are frequency tuned to fill in the bands you are depressed at and give you a flat frequency response.   I am currently using the phillips hearing aids sold by costco which have a... 
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
@soix   Draw your own conclusions.  But I know of a guy who used to work in the same office who had a sign on his desk "The Buck Stops Here."   Don't hurt your feet stomping.   Jerry

@stereo5 Just reporting factual prices before and after Jan 2020.  Don't ask me about gasolne.  
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
I like the looks of that Cullen Cable.   I'll add to make sure you get 10 awg conductors.  In this price range many are light weight, which is ok for a low power component but not for an amp.  
Biamping vs only inserting an Active crossover

Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
I like them seperate.   Do people ask for them combined because they only have one spot on their rack? Jerry  
iFi Zen Stream (No USB output in Roon exclusive mode)
@tksteingraber You read it on the internet so it must be true.    
Wood case source?
Well.  I don't want to be overly critical but I would always decline a job like that.  You'll most likely get something that doesn't fit.   Best of luck, Jerry  
Wood case source?
What would they have to go on?  Have you created a drawing?  Would they have the old one?  Do they supply the wood and do you have a specific wood in mind. I have 2 friends who do specialty woodwook and I've been thinking of breaking them into au... 
Connectors from cross-overs to drivers question
Always solder wires to drivers.  
Amp for Raidho TD1.2
I have a buddy with those speakers.  He likes to keep it Scandanavian and uses a high end Hegel integrated.  One of the best systems I've ever heard. Jerry  
tube amp for home theater AND 2 channel?
I’m running tube amp 2 channel I’m also running 7.2 channel HT and the tube amp powers the 2 front channels. I just run pre-out from my HT reciever to a spare input on my tube amp. This is the basic premise of HT bypass. I really don’t see why an...
