Anyone living in Northern Michigan?
chazark1234 ,Just noticed your post. I live just Southeast a bit from Traverse City. Give a shout if you want. 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
I guess I don’t understand how this is better or would augment a balanced power conditioner. With balanced power you get clean AC power in an accurate waveform and stable voltage. I found a used high end unit here for under $1K. It makes my system... 
What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why?
Back in the late 70's I started with a pair of McIntosh XR-16's which I kept far too long. Finally got back into the audio system game and bought a pair of Paradigm Studio 100's that are actually very nice sounding with quality electronics behind ... 
Hey RICH Audiophiles
dobnbav said, "Now go buy a boat and find out what a real money pit is!" Gee, I have a nice audio system and a boat.........gulp!  
What area or country do you live in ?
Northern lower Michigan. We Michiganders have to specify because we have two peninsulas. 
Music Streamer Quality
jmarshak, this was my original post. I ended up going with an Aurender N100H for a streamer and a Holo Audio Spring DAC, Kitsune edition. I couldn't be happier. I must say that 750D is a very nice piece of gear. Find an Aurender used here (there ... 
Which main power cord?
Sounds like spam to me......administrators? 
Is this the end of HEA?

The awakening...
@n80When I was young my parents had an old RCA Victor, Victrola. The bottom was filled with 78's. Every once in a while we would crank it up (literally) and put on one of the records. There was classical for sure and I could swear some Count Basie... 
The awakening...
I guess I have been rather fortunate in my life. I have hiked the Inca trail through the Sungate to Machu Picchu, climbed Huayna Picchu, stared in amazement at the stones of Sacsayhuaman, spent a wind blown night in Monteverde, stared into the aby... 
A problem with AC Power you may not have considered.
https://www.furmanpower.com/product/20a-prestige-symmetrically-balanced-power-conditioner-P-2400%20I...and listen to this from the man who ought to know a thing or two about audio system power. I'm not pushing the product but to me the information... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
I  believe the achievement of the "holographic" image you refer to is fully a function of the manor in which the music was recorded. There is a passage at the very end of season two Game of Thrones program where all of a sudden a crow calls out fr... 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
I saw Diana live last summer and thought her show was so-so. I do like her style and certainly enjoy her "Live in Paris" CD. Unfortunately her show sounded like all the musicians were just going through their paces. nothing stood out. She did not ...
