Upgrade Question
Moved up to a transport.Looking back is a blind spot. 
Well, I finally replaced Toslink with USB ...and I'm glad I did...
I will say that USB through a HiFace M2 sounds better then fiber from my $25 sound card, both into a MultiBit DAC.Too bad for you but "great" sound is not possible from a multipurpose computer.And keep it away from the audio room 
There's gold in them frequencies!
I hate the Eagles.Can you just forget it?If they’re not first press nano they can’t work.At least not on sudio closer than 1.63 blocks.Or was it blockheads.I forget in all this vintage din. 
High Performance Audio - The End?
A lot of truth to that. A big bunch of my favorite music sounds best as mp3's in the Honda. But some tracks from the same recording sound fabulous on the big rig. A good session sounds good on anything. 
2 Questions?
Theoretically anything added is a detrimant to SQ. EQ and switches ,feedback etc.. I have a 5 way in the shed and it sounds fine there. You can get a cheap one that’s good enough to AB speakers. If you blast them it might not handle it. Since each... 
What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good?
Dynaco and SWTP kits were good together but I've moved on. 
A Surge Suppressor Story
erikI have a regenerator.It's docs recommend unplugging it during a storm.There's that. 
DAC - Streamer or all in one unit
I like my Directstream DAC.  FPGA with free updates will keep it current. Darko liked it equal to a $12K Chord Dave.Then all you need is https://stackaudio.co.uk/link2/ With free shipping and 30 day trial.I put my music on SSD's and find it easier... 
A Surge Suppressor Story
Nice story. Sacrificial is good enough to save my little used Synology that already has given up it's HD to lightning once.But $200 is cheap insurance for the stereo that's worth more than the rest of the house electronics together.  Of course it ... 
'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones)
Boring."This sounds better than that on MY system"Sgt. Pepper's was created on a multidubbed 4 track. It SHOULD sound better mass produced on a limited analog media.BFDBlah blah honk honk.I like a lot of music more than other.You probably don't ag... 
Synergy Matching
Nice post Chuck. I never understood that dirty word either. Synergy seems to be more appliplical to recordings than equipment.I mean the first one, not the Moab infomercial. 
Looking for a front end streamer only.
The new LINK II looks like the best USB streamer under $1K. Probably SQ better than many $3K.https://stackaudio.co.uk/link/30 free trial. 
Upgrade Path Help
Dump the noisy computer and buy any HiFi streamer. 
New from Mad Scientist
Even though my gmail 404''d his address he did respond. ??? I AM gonna try the BD NANOs. Simple enough to hear if two on the amp connects make any improvement or not.Easier than AB ing cables.  And easy to hear if there is any there there. 
A case for Hi Rez Digital
Mic placement and quality match. Studio electronics and cables. Room sound. Engineer chops. Producer vision.Minimal manipulation in post. (Or none is best - D2D.)These and others make far more difference in SQ with today’s and vintage high quality...
