Seeking a Tube preamplifier
Contact Aric Audio, I am sure he can make you a tubed linestage with a balance control or 2 volume.  
Im going to regret my cable question
@mike4597  I  had the same instant response to Silversmiths.  @neversatisfied , Wireworld cables are usually a safe bet, very neutral cables.  
HALO DAC I2S question
MY first guess is the pin out on your HDMI cable isn't compatible.  
Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
I just ordered a Signature Amp series PC for my amp from Jonny today, super nice guy. I plan to get another Signature for my Terminator 15th DAC very soon.  
Coda vs Parasound
FWIW I have the Coda S5.5 and it is a very good sounding amplifier, very powerful for it's modes rating. I can wholeheartedly recommend Coda amplifiers.  
Wifi vs ethernet revisited
FWIW, kinda on the same line on this topic. I have an LHY EFI fiber optic isolator being delivered today. I will not be able to try it for a few weeks until I return home. It internally isolates wired ethernet to optical and back. I am going to pl... 
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
I would suggest you just try running your DAC straight into the Raven to compare. You may be surprised at what you hear. Just give it a try.     
The Stereo Times Coda S5.5 amplifier just posted today. Thanks guys
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with power cords on the S5.5? I am looking into the Snake River Audio Signature Amp series PC to try. I currently use the DH Labs Redwave Signature. What I want to do is just add a bit more midrange body...

I was told the opposite, shorter for USB. Coaxial SPDIF and AES/EBU 1.5 meters is best.  
Terminator Plus 15th
FWIW I heard from my DAC dealer that had one for a week. Improved transformers, Clocks designed by Esoteric. Some upgraded caps. 7% bump over Terminator 15th -"his opinion"  He will have another one in his system soon I guess. Cost is between $8-9... 
EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions?
The LHY SW 10 is no longer available, it’s been out of stock for several months. SW-8 also gone.  I've had the LHY SW-5 I bought from Vinshine a few years ago.    
Pure Silver Wire
@coppy777 Well those WW Platinum Eclipse ain’t cheap either! I opted for the less expensive WW Gold Eclipse 8’s and they are really nice.(CONDUCTOR MATERIAL-4N Solid Silver)

We recently finished our Florida winter home, a small 750 SQ/F home. We stay here through the winters, my big rig is home in the north. With limited space I assembled a modest system that has 4 ceiling speakers for front and rear and a $250 center... 
Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
I wish these type threads didn’t always turn into arguments between a few posters because I’d really like to learn more about SNA PC’s. I am interested in trying one later this spring. I would like to know from those that have a few which one work...
