High current power cables
  thyname I believe clearthink and clearthinker are two different, legit individuals. I am however sure about "deluded audiophile" dude. You may well be right, @thyname. I'm inclined to ignore them all.  
High current power cables
thyname Yup. Our "deluded" guy ... this is his 13th username in a short period of time. That I know of ... Agreed, @thyname. I am also thinking that "clearthink" is the same guy as "clearthinker." I don’t know why they do this. I also n... 
High current power cables

Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
    deludedaudiophile I am still waiting for your answer to why you are attacking a hobbyist ... Please stop with your accusations. If you think I've attacked anyone please take your complaint to the moderators.

I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
  mapman It’s a stupid and useless debate to start with. People just creating a dilemma where there is none and using that to go off on whatever topic they happen to fancy. Lots of words that translate into chaos because people have to conv... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
mahgister What surprize me is that you act like children and propose me "thorazine" or something else not "amazing" at all... I used to be surprised by such antics but that was long ago. It's silly to argue with those who employ ad hominem a... 
FM Antenna
You need to use a 300 ohm balanced to 75 ohm transformer like this.  
Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song?
  lordmelton I wonder where Qobuz gets all it’s 192 Khz tracks and albums from because, for example, The Rolling Stones or ABKCO only ever released DSD and 44.1 Khz ... Call me old fashioned but if it isn’t an official studio, artis...
