My Apologies to Miller Carbon
My BAT VK-6200 5channel amp stays on 24/7.From a cold star it sounds best after about 4 days. Once the capacitors are fully charged the air around vocals/instruments as well as the decay is simply magic. 
Oppomod femto clock upgrade Oppo 205
Ptts,The Clock upgrades the Oppo sound signature significantly. I own a Modwright 205 and recently purchased an Aurender N20. When comparing the USB vs BNC outputs, the synchronous output of the N20 utilizes the 12.9 mhz clock of the N20. The soun...

1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca?
The 75 Reflektor silver shields are supposed to be the HG of the Reflektor/Voskhod family. I have them running in my Modwight Oppo 205 for 2 or 3 years now, and just installed a pair into my 4 month old Pathos Inpol Ear headphone amp. Quite musica... 
Upscale Audio and Primaluna
I've learned to give my business to someone who appreciates it. When working with a dealer I look at it as a long term partnership. I want someone I can trust to help me make the best possible choices. When they take care of me I take care of them... 
Clocker value on a network player?
Because when run thru a synchronous digital output it eliminates reclocking at the DAC level. This is thought to produce less jitter and thus a quieter, more detailed presentation vs running thru noisier USB.Of course there are many variables but ... 
dcs bartok vs DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR-PLUS
Of course we all hear things a bit differently.Having said that to my ears the Bartok is anything but thin sounding. IMO the Bartok presents music with substantial tonal body and a relaxed easy to listen to presentation along with good but not cla... 
MQA is for chumps
I had Tidal for 1 year and then subscribed to Qobuz as well. Both subscription at thier premier levels. Within 90 days I cancelled Tidal.I’m very happy with Qobuz sound quality. 
Abyss AB 1266 Phi vs Focal Utopia
Pretty much every reviewer mentions just how well built the Focals are. Also the Abyss 1266 is indeed quite a bit more difficult to drive than the Focals. It's something regularly discussed on Abyss threads. Focals are 104 dB efficiency and the Ab... 
Nordost Blue Heaven vs Heimdahl 2 vs Harmonic Technologies Para S - II
I have TYR 2 XLR's and Valhalla 2 speaker cable.One of the misconceptions about the 2nd generation Nordost cables are that they are silver. They are not. They are sliver over a copper core. I find them to be just on the warm side of neutral with a... 
Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it?
I also upgraded from the 8802a to the Lyngdorf MP 60. What you get for home theater is significantly improved room correction. From bottom to top the sound field is much more cohesive, better integrated and detailed. Palpably so for Home Theater. ... 
Cardas Clear and Nordost Try 2 Speaker Cables
I currently have Tyr 2 XLR's in my system. Upgraded from Clear Day silver XLR's. Tyr 2 added weight and musicality to my 2 channel system, but made an even bigger impact in 5.1. To my ears Tyr 2 made a surprising difference to overall movie enjoym... 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
I have Tyr 2 XLR's (5.1 channel system) and Valhalla 2 speaker and reference jumpers (front left/right). Nordost is amazing. Definitely my cup of Tea. Pure, musically satisfying with a delightfully layered and detailed musical presentation. Since ... 
Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?
Nordost is amazing cable, but contrary to how 2 posters described it, definitely not "zippy city".I upgraded from Clear Day silver XLR's to Nordost Tyr 2 about a year ago and one of the changes was a much weightier mid range. Excellent cables, mus...
