Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
OP, as you can tell by the diverging opinions on the thread, you really need to hear each of them with your music choice and preferably in your system to know.What I would say from personal experience is that the Spendor D series definitely requir... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Thanks @williewonka , Fidelium caught my eye too but unfortunately they're not making them at the moment. The Mogami one you linked uses Mogami connectors right? I do see Take Five some using Neotech but they are NES 3004 II which are stranded, no... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Thanks @grannyring and @williewonka for your insights on the different wire types. My system is very revealing and could be bright if not carefully matched. I have ordered some of the Neotech wire to give it a try. Do you have any recommendation f... 
Transparent Cables
A lot of misinformation here on this thread speaking out of sheer ignorance. The freeze in Texas is not a "hundred year" weather phenomena, last time it happened was in 2011. Extreme weather patterns in general have been more and more frequent, Ho... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@williewonka and @grannyring  Thanks for the input as always. If I want to go for convenience and buy a ready made wire, is the VH-Audio OCC copper with airlok better or the Neotech OCC with Teflon better? How does the Parts Express naked wire com... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
For all the Evo owners, what previously DACs did the Evo replace and best? How would you compare the sound quality? 
New silversmith fidelium cable
That's not very thick, is that enough to carry the full power if the speaker is somewhat power hungry? Typically conventional speaker cable of 15awg or above sound thinner than their thicker counterparts 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Fidelium owners, how is the bass with these cables? With the extremely thin conductor, does it allow enough current to have full bass authority? 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@mawe Thanks, can you elaborate on why multiple of 24g sound better than 18g? Wouldn't thicker conductor offer lower resistance?

Gents, I'm currently using all Mundorf Silver Gold wire in my interconnects and AES cable, thinking about upgrading to the OCC coppers that you found superior. Can you share in sound quality terms how they are better than the Mundorf Silver Gold? ... 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
OP you're not alone in your findings, the longest running thread on here by a member that buys and tests some of the world's best gear said the Pass preamp was the worst he has had in his system. 
Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?
I will echo that trying to get in contact with anyone in this company seems to be an arduous challenge, no phone number, no email, no dealer locator. Tried a few times using the Contact form on the website and no response of any kind. 
Benchmark LA4 Preamp?
@flat4 Yes both XLR and RCA can be used at the same time. I'm about to list one for sale, feel free to PM me. 
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
Don't know what these knockoffs you're talking about, but I've owned and used Chinese designed and made gear like Line Magnetic and Denafrips, they were all superb. 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
@dsper Unless you want your dac quest into having to rebuild your entire system, maybe best to stick to choices that will work well with your existing components that you already own and like. Also every dealer and manufacture will claim their pro...
