Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
@marco1 , @tvad  What SQ characteristics do distinguish from the auditioned Class D Gan amps that cause you to still prefer tubes. I suspect I would agree with you and pick tubes but for my rooms allergy to heat.  Have you ever experienced a cla... 
Power cable Advice...
My reasoning is as follows: If you have bad water passing thru rusty municipal pipes which is treated in the last 5 feet of your under sink filter system, is this going to improve your health?    
AGD Tempo in the house
I just emailed AGD. They responded: Yes, 11Stereo is an authorized AGD Dealer for the state of Georgia.  
Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps.
@mahgister Merry Christmas. Nice to hear from you. Can you share what ionizer you use? Happy New Year to everyone.  
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Williwonka's DIY SPIRAL HELIX. Wires provided by fellow Goner, which I assembled with spare plugs for positive difference. Also tried a bulk audiophile recommended by a you tuber, with negative difference. Connected to pre-amp.

Quite a compelling narrative by mclinnguy. The silver dart would represent huge value if it delivers as described. Unfortunately, still too rich for my blood. Anyone with listening experience care to opine on the less expensive Zafino PC offering... 
Watermelon test for audiophiles!
I want to know what Audio Science Review measurements are 🤔😬

Magnepan Upgrades, Silver and New Crossovers!
Jl35 +1 Has anyone bought what they considered to be a great car,  at least for the money? Would its performance, looks or comfort be enhanced by some aftermarket shocks, struts, tires, larger rims, carburator, spark plugs and wires, or even a tur... 
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
Grand Funk Railroad. Circa late 70s. It was so loud and unpleasant that my buddy and I cut out early. I remember listening to the sound flooding out as we exited the arena while my ears were still ringing. Any hearing impairment I have, I blame on... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
My conundrum. I'm warming up to Class D. Actually, more the opposite as heat avoidance is the main reason for seeking out a Class D amp. My problem is that I'm a keeper. I'm not a component every year type of guy. More like every decade. So ther... 
Silver Speaker Cables
@lak and others, if you have any experience to share. How do the Lavricables compare to Zafino? Specifics, please, and thanks.
