What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Anyone used Audio Art Cables?  Thanks.  
Does Qobuz work
If you’re not a paid subscriber or you are not correctly logged in Qobuz will only give you that 15 second sample of a song. All the best.  
Need a new integrated, what say you?
+1 soix.  Hegel makes some great integrated amps! I’m using the H390, the next model up from the H190 and love it! All the best.

@carlsbad2  I’m using a Hegel H390 integrated amp and am currently using the Pangea AC9 SE MKll.  Paid $300 for the 1.5 meter cord.  It’s a beast of a cord and I want to replace it mostly because the IEC connector is a loose fit in the Hegel and ...

@evank @jacobsdad2000  I went to the Less Loss website and I didn’t see prices.  Can you give me an idea of the cost of their 1 to 1 1/2 meter PC’s? Thanks.  
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
@jl35  Could you hear differences immediately when you plugged them in?  What are you using now? Are you talking about the Audience F3’s?  I bought one for $300 when they first came out and ended up buying two more for $300 total about a year la...

@swede58  I can’t find the A/C Master Coupler on SR’s website.  When did it come out and what was the price then? Thanks!

power cable
What gauge is the cable? If it’s 14 gauge, you probably need to stick with sources. I’d it’s 12 gauge or bigger, you can use it anywhere.

@rok2id @frogman And what is the third law? Does it start with Thou shalt not?? 😆😆😆  
Interesting video on cables
Great video and like it says, most people use the cable for charging.  My big Black Friday buy was 5, 6’ USB C to USB C cables for $9.98 and they weren’t even on sale! Now the USB cable I have running from my streamer to the DAC is a whole kettle... 
KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them
@dbphd , Because they are not rear ported they can go much closer to the wall than your Reference 1’s and like @yyzsantabarbara said, they have DSP, so you can set the sound the way you like.    All the best with your new speakers.  
Blown tweeters
@bill1957  How old are the speakers?  Most speaker companies have a five year warranty on parts. Some even have ten year warranty’s. What amp were you using?  Could you have been over driving it? That will blow tweeters fast if the amplifier is ... 
Speaker placement Quandary
When I first setup my 133 pound speakers ( on Isoacoustics Gaia 1’s),  I put them on furniture sliders until I got close.  And since I have a carpeted floor, I got some pieces of granite from a place that makes and sells countertops and put the sp...
