@thom_at_galibier_design I completely understand the example of your wife’s vocal power/control. At one time I played and studied the trumpet. As with any instrument you have much control over the volume you wish to provide. If I wanted to I cou... 
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i
@richl35 I borrowed a set of ZU Audio, Omen Def Supreme towers. These things absolutely rock! I love how good they sound at low volumes. Fantastic speakers, for me anyway. I think they are very efficient and I hcan tell the Willsenton likes the... 
Do my ears deceive me??
@mofojo  In what way have speakers had a tremendous advancement in the last 20 years? Revel Salon 2 are over 15 years old and are still considered better than most anything according to plenty. Your Sonus Fabers are all paper driver… nothing new... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
A side tangent, in regards to burning in your power cable, would it be ok to plug it into a non-audiophile gear, ie. a computer to keep it running for a long time? Yes you can. Charles

@carlsbad2  Good observation. Over the years I have attended my fair share of high end audio shows. For the most part I have enjoyed these experiences quite a bit. I do get annoyed with the high volume level demonstrations. Personally I do not fi...

I agree @soix with regard to the Lavricables power cables. Excellent natural sound without highlighting any particular aspect of the audio. Top to bottom balanced presentation. Again, very natural sound. Definitely an under the radar type of produ...

@stuartk  Thank you. I am very happy with the vibe and atmosphere of my listening space. The Coincident Total Eclipse II continues to serve me well after all of these years. Charles  
Larry Coryell / Miroslav Vitous Quartet
I’ve had this CD for quite some years. Very good 2 musician interaction. Straight ahead jazz genre. https://www.discogs.com/release/9308661-Red-Mitchell-Joe-Beck-Live-At-Salishan   Also agree with the Ron Carter/Jim Hall duos, very good. Charles

@2psyop  I have the CDT2 MK2 paired with the Pontas II 12th Anniversary DAC. So far it's the best digital playback I have had. On par with Bluesound Node output to the Pontus II The Bluesound Node is on equal footing with your Jay’s Audio CD t...

@stuartk  Thank you for the recording recommendations. I love jazz guitar and jazz double bass (Plucked and con arco). I’ll hunt these down. Charles

@disc  The Takumis, in particular, may be overkill, but I really do appreciate the results  No doubt that your results justify these power cables. The caliber of your components warrant their usage. The better the AC power quality, the better ...

@disc Are you using the Hijiri Takumi power cable for the LTA/RS2T as well as your Boulder 866 amplifier? Looks like you have an exceptionally clean and simplified audio signal pathway. Definitely uncluttered.😊 Charles

@thaluza The builder (Benjamin Zwickel) of your Mojo Audio DAC also designed/built an audio streaming unit. Interestingly however he’s a very strong advocate of high quality CD transports for the digital source. You probably already know this ab...

@thaluza  I took a look at your audio system page, very,very nice! I can imagine that your Mojo Audio Mystique EVO DAC and Pro-Ject RS2T pairing sounds exquisite.   Charles
