For all you Bose 901 Haters!
Still would like to know what music is played on the video.  Thanks  
Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators?
Correct, ZLC.  Probably now an 8 month wait time, sorry for that.  Ciao

I'll bet the angle of deflection behind the speakers will also vary the affect.  Straight on versus 25 degrees angle in/out, 40 degrees angle in/out.  Also, the run direction, are the slats vertical or horizontal? I've seen where the slats are co...

No experience with re-generators.  Just sharing experience, that if a much lower system noise floor is what you seek, the Decware conditioner delivers in spades.  Shockingly good at subtraction without dulling dynamics.  What one did not perceive ... 
Has your system evolved in the past 10 years?
Circa 2012:  Naim UnitiServe server, Decware ZLC DAC, Manley Jumbo Shrimp preamp, Mahi Mahi mono blocks, Decware Silver Stix speaker cable, Decware ICs, Merlin monitors on Sound Organization 24” massed stands.  All equipment on Quadraspire SVT sta...

Now that everyone has had their fun, can we know the artists/album? I liked that part of the presentation. Thanks 
Is a cheaper DAC + Reclocker better than just an expensive DAC?
Weiss 501 info perhaps addresses this. Synchronization An internal high precision / low jitter clock generator is responsible for clocking the D/A converter section. The sampling frequency of that generator is fixed at about 195kHz. The input sig... 
My first tube preamp Manley jumbo shrimp
bgross You're right, 10 y/o post. Anyway, the Jumbo Shrimp I lived with for 5 years and it is still viable. Upgrading the tubes, power cord and running Mahi Mahi mono blocks with Merlin Black Magic monitors was a blast. I get the pairing with ... 
Audio nonsense
QSA Gemstones remind me of bump dots we place on control surfaces of appliances for my wife who is legally blind. She can sort out the microwave, washing machine and dryer settings. Shiny!  
Anyone using Teddy Pardo XPS for Naim nDAC and Teddy Cap for the Supernait 3? Any good?
My only experience with Pardo is their upgraded PS for my Naim UnitiServe music server and it was a discernible improvement in all ways. Ran that for two years before upgrading the server. He has it all figured out. 
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Agreed!  Even gooder is eliminating power amps (technically).  Music server feeding Weiss 501 DAC/volume control directly to ATC active speakers.  Faster, more dynamic, more detail and only four pieces to reproduce music.  
Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
Thanks all. I'll keep it simple. The non-replaceable head units suck!

Contenders are here
Must be very tasty, having 'plated' them for about 3 hours.  Cheers
