Why not?
Pearl Acoustics makes Sibelius cables specifically for their well regarded Sibelius SG and CG speakers. The cables are said to be developed together with the speakers. See https://pearlacoustics.com/sibelius-cables/  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Many thanks for the response @nutty. Should you ever discuss extending the use of the purple fuses to subs, please do let me know what Chris says.  Was also wondering whether there are any components which would benefit from an orange fuse over a... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
I have tried one purple fuse on the cable from my wall outlet to my Isotek Evo 3 power conditioner. I am liking the additional details that I hear in music tracks so much so that I have placed an order for purple fuses for the rest of the componen...

What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
I have a Gamut Lobster chair myself. Cost as much as a major system component but my thinking was that the listening position is as important as a component so why not spend as much? The justifications of an audiophile ... 🙄    Gamut Lobster Cha... 
Is there a DAC ranking list?
@jerrybj is right. John Darko still maintains the DAC ranking list. It is available to subscribers of his via Patreon. If I am not mistaken, it is available to those that subscribe to the US$10 tier. Personally, I found it useful.

Gamut Lobster Chair
I am happy to report that I have had the Gamut Lobster chair for a month now. Siting in it the first time was a surprise / shock as it was so incredibly different from the plush IMG recliner that I had previously. The chair has much less padding a... 
Where to buy SACD`s ?
My main go-to is "Discogs" though the price of SACDs is becoming increasingly eye-watering. Another online store to check out is "CDJapan". I find that Japanese pressed SACDs (and Japanese SHM CDs and SACDs) are of superior quality. FYI I have ... 
Gamut Lobster Chair
I took the plunge! Gamut Lobster chair has finally arrived and is with my dealer. Will be trying it out next week. Is it going to be good or will it turn out to be an expensive mistake? Honestly don't know. But will certainly report my experience ... 
What's up with Innuos?
I have had issues using the the Sense app. My system can't seem to locate it on some days. However, I discovered that you can nearly always access it via the browser interface. Looks exactly the same. No issues regarding usability thus far.
