Graphene for audio
artemus_5 I left the Graphene sheets a month on top of my components, but the sound became too dark.It was very evident in every piece of music that I listened to with knowledge.The same story above my speakers.Fortunately, I managed to sell them ... 
Belles / Power Modules Inc. Status
Mr. Dave Belles is super busy building his cool amps.I don't think he has any interest in retirement any time soon.He still goes strong. 
Graphene for audio
aluminum foil?It's a graphene foil.I have tried to do that experiment wrap the sheet around power cords but I absolutely didn't like it what I heard in terms of sound improvement. 
Pure solid silver wire

Audiophile LAN cables
I bought the Meicord Opal audiophile ethernet cable.Never tried a Wireworld Ethernet cable . 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
The very best amp I heard was HALCRO. Halcro DM38 with Halcro DM10 
Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
I had one for a month and was nothing special, and it has been replaced by a Khadas Tone Board generic edition with a custom external power supply. 
Does a modern pre-amp sound better than an old one?
It depends, not always true that new products outperform the old ones.I heard several vintage stuff, of course, all in perfect electrical conditions, destroy modern audio stuff.For example, take the AGI 511, it has long been regarded as an unsurpa... 
Chemically Altered Audio
Thank you.whostolethebatmobile, I have just sent you a private message :-) 
Audiophile LAN cables
Yeah, that's right.My router is pretty far away from my audio setup, so I'm using a range extender.Tha audiophile 2 meters LAN cable I bought and that makes a significant improvement in sound, it's from the range extender to my audiophile PC.Also,... 
Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms
The main problem is not given by the environment, but by the incorrect synergy of the components inserted between them, and many times the incorrect electrical phase.By solving these problems, you can really feel the physical limits of your room.O... 
Most musical stand mount loudspeakers
Spendor sp100r2 with the right stand was an unbelievable listening experience.I have not found more other stand-mount loudspeakers that sound that good in terms of timbre and resolution.The listening was made with several amps (solid-state and tub... 
I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP!
Peachtree Nova300 is an awesome amplifier for me.The sound is pretty good and it looks also cool.Sometimes it's the mind that pulls bad jokes, as a prestigious brand like Pass cannot be replaced by a similar product... but sometimes the reality is... 
Adding shielding to existing cables
It's a pretty bad idea.If you don't want to buy a new RCA shielded cable, and you wanna have some fun the only advice I would give you is to paint the whole cables and connectors with a mix of white glue and tourmaline powder.Just remember that th... 
OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level!
It is a physical principle.Try for example to speak with your hand in front of your mouth, or wear a mask and talk.The material may be "sound transparent", but it will still be a barrier.My advice is always to remove the grills when listening.Put ...
