Hi current or source power cable
@thedoc2004 My last post was meant to address the story you heard that using a source cord on an amp can damage the source cord.  
Hi current or source power cable
@thedoc2004 absolutely not. But also not a good idea for SQ.   
Hi current or source power cable
The external power supply does not need more power.  If anything less.   Jerry  
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find?
send me one and I'll try it.  RCA pair or AES/EBU.  
list of speakers
@grislybutter I love your responsse to me.  I wish you all the luck in the world.  Jerry  
Right angle XLR adapter
I know people are much more into aesthetics than I am, I'm a form follows function guy.  My rack is wide open both for cooling and flexibility.  I designed it myself and had it fabbed in a weld shop.  It doesn't look nearly as bad as most are imag... 
list of speakers
What a great list. The sorting ability is huge. Thank you. with a little publicity, some work to make it more complete, you can monitize it and do pretty well I would think. The suggestion to add ratings has been made and is a double edged sword.... 
How noisy is my line? Audio Prism Noise Sniffer
Pretty sure I don't need a sniffer to know that line power is dirty.  The power on the grid in my neighborhood is about 4% THD.  The output of my regenerator is .1% THD. Jerry  
DAC with i2S
Another example of someone picking a connector and shopping for a component to go with it.   Can you share how you concluded that DACs without I2S should not be considdered?  
New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables??
Definitely buy new cables and send the old ones to me.     Those are nice cables.   Jerry  
2a3 ?
I am a huge fan of the SET vs the push pull.  Push pull is your only option if your speakers are not sensitive enough but my speakers are and i've tried several different amps.  SET for the win. Jerry    
2a3 ?
I had a wonderful Tektron amp that used 45, 2A3, and 300b.  I think the 2A3 might have been best but it depended a lot on the tubes.  Jerry  
Anyone with experience having cables made using Amorphous Metals/Alloys
People will try anything. I’ve even seen interconnects made of carbon dust (like spark plug wires) with very high resistance. But I feel I should point out that any copper/silver alloy will always have a higher resistance than either pure copper ... 
Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures
Cold temps probably won't be a problem. I'd say the risk is that the get dropped etc when cold which could damage them when they are brittle.  However, if they are packed tightly into boxes or crates so that they cannot move, the risk is minimal. ... 
Add Chord Cutest (DAC) to Bluesound Node or purchase HiFi Rose RS150BDAC
Chord for sound, Rose for looks.   Return the node and buy a streamer only and get more streamer for your dollar. Jerry
