Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Lampizator Atlantic and the Modwright Sony HAP. Now that's a very interesting top tier product comparison for certain. You could not possibly go wrong with either of these.The Totaldac would be a worthy competitor.Charles 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
Bill,When terms such as "ralaxed",  "natural", "real " and "engaging" are used to describe what you hear, you're on the right path . The truly excellent audio products always seem to improve in this direction. Charles

Roxy,Agree, what matters most is does the product improve sound quality and the music listening experience. Charles  
PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo
No, I don’t accept the premise that you can have too much "true" transparency. I do believe that you can have too much brightness and tilted up high frequency region emphasis  that some may interpret as transparency. Charles

Roxy,By the way I bought the Avatar Acoustics Afterburner 8  AC outlet that you've mentioned in the past on this site.  It was a very good decision, thanks. Charles

Hello Roxy,I certainly trust your impressions.  I may at some point try the GE Yellow power cord from the wall outlet to my BPT balanced AC transformer/power conditioner.  My entire system is plugged into it. It requires a 20 amp plug. The Ocellia...

Thieliste, For all I know the CH Precision "could" be a better match with your Thiels than the Ypsilon.  My comments were based on hearing these two brands 3 or 4 times at shows in of course separate rooms rather than direct comparison in the same...

Allan I'm an advocate of the SR fuses due to their performance in my system. I am actually a supporter of the idea of better fuses in general. The Beeswax and Audio Horizon fuses are likely just as good as what I have.Charles 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Hello Allan,I have been quietly following this thread and there are posters here who's opinions I respect and trust.  I believe that the cables discussed are as good as is written here.  I'm sure that these products would be very fine in my system...

This is why High End audio is such a personal undertaking. It’s near impossible to account for all the different preferences people have and the many variables that play a role. I’ve heard a suite of CH Precision electronics at the CES a few years... 
Tube Power Amp Suggestions
Big fish,In your original post you seemed attracted to the tone, nuance and 3 dimensional qualities of the 300b. I’ve heard the Soulution amplifiers on several occasions and it quite a different sound from a good 300b amplifier. You may like the S... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Hello Paul,To be clear I wasn't critical of your impression and opinion at all. I just know that someone somewhere will say I've also heard both DACs and chose the Dave over the Totaldac. Based on what I have read and heard about the Totaldacs I d... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Hi Paul,That’s the dilemma with High End audio, so many good choices are available and you can’t hear all of them . Invariably someone will post that the Chord Dave sounds better than the Totaldac in their opinion, just the way it goes 😊Charles 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Woogie59, Yes, the subjective perceptions we experience and comment on with other interested listeners/thread posters is "half the fun " as you put it. Since my initial exposure to the world of High End Audio nearly 30 years ago its been nothing b... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
woogie59,Some of the posters here have tried the upgrade level fuses and reported they made no difference at all. I accept their findings. No audio product I'm aware of has 100 % positive results for everyone. Where are you using your Beeswax fuse...
