Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
@dreas  +10! You made numerous fine points. Can’t we all just enjoy the music we love regardless of what format we have chosen to listen to. None of them are mutually exclusive, one doesn’t invalidate the others.  I happen to prefer CD listening... 
Sound quality of Roon
@past The Streamer upgrade will not improve SQ. The DAC is the thing to shop.  No doubt written with good intentions and well-meaning sincerity, but not factual for many. There are legions of experienced streamers who will confirm that upgra... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I get how folks can get damned defensive and pouty when they learn that something they bought and think is just the cats meow isn’t the best, its lame but just human nature I think. I spent money to buy this so now it is the best. Interesting t... 
Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance
My Lavricables were given a 150-hour burn-in prior to shipping, so their good sound straight out of the shipping box was not a Hugh surprise. Well, they are improving as time passes. I have to say that they present a fabulous pairing of much trans...

@jackd  Yep! Triode Wire Lab is another very good option. Robert has some terrific choices to sort through. I’m a strong advocate of improving quality of all things related to AC electrical power. It does matter.    Robert, at a further point do...

Sounds like you have found a very cost effective silver solution. Congratulations Yes, glad you understood, and this is my only point. There is no attempt to make a broad sweeping statement in regard to all silver cables in all and every audio ...

@ghdprentice Thank you. I agree with regard to the settling in process. It is just very encouraging for the early listening impression to be so satisfying. These are legitimately very good High End power cables for a quite reasonable (IMO) cost....

Hi Robert, That is very good news! I'm glad you hung in there for "one" more chance with the RS2T. You have a top notch CD transport to pair with your Meitner DAC. I understand why you are so happy with the sound quality. RE, power cables in you...

musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
@viethluu  It probably needs additional hours of use. But I understand, the DAC has to satisfy you, not me.😀 Charles

I received 3 Grand cables and 1 Master (DAC or CD transport LPS). I have listened to the 3 Grands (SET mono blocks and line stage power supply). If Lavricables say Master suits your needs, I’d trust their judgment. Their product is high quality fo...

@ricevs A 2000 watt Giandel Inverter plus a $400 200 amp hour 12V (2500 amp hours) AGM battery will cost you a little over $750. I’m not familiar with this approach. If the end result is clean quality electricity for the entire audio system t...

In case anyone may be interested, I received my Lavricable power cables. They underwent a 150-hour burn-in process prior to shipment. To get straight to the point , these are excellent and I'm very happy that I decided to give them a chance. I do ...
