@hchilcoat Congrats on your New Audio Frontiers gear! Heard them several times with the WVL Sons at Colin’s and man they sound great together. The Galle dacs shown on the Cinnamon Audio Facebook page are all going to Colin at Gestalt Audio Desi...

@jond thanks for asking. Well, I moved 5 times in the past 2 years and let’s just say it has been a stressful time period. The Audiophile’s Wife and I are now settled and hopefully for many years 🙂. I now have a nice treated and dedicated listeni...

@hchilcoat  The Galle dac sounded fantastic with the Sons and Circle Labs.  Just fantastic! Look forward to your comments.

@mclinnguy I purchased the WVL Conica stands that just came out recently. They raise the speakers 7 inches and sound fantastic! Stage height is taller and the Sons sound even more open. Now I had to work on repositioning my speakers and listenin...

I owned the Mojo Audio Evo Pro dac per my comments vs the Galle. Mojo is well reviewed and known. Also owned and compared several other dacs to the Galle including a fantastic build by John Tucker of Exemplar Audio and the Merason Dac 1. I have ow... 
Let's talk about Silver...
Silver on AC plugs always sounded a tad thin and tipped up. Silver hook up wire in my builds always sounded a tad thin with less body than I care for and very detailed. Silver in my cable builds …. the same result. Always. Expensive silver cables...

I expect the dac early next week! Hard for me to be patient, but based on my extended audition it is worth the wait. I will share on the initial sound as well as the sound after break in.

Well @jc51373 your post is not helpful in any way.  If you want to add something helpful, then post on your actual experience  with the Galle dac.  If you have no experience with it, then please don’t make a comparison claim to a dac you happen to... 
Streaming Leads to Brain Rot
Must say I am a bit confused about your post. I listen to mostly entire releases and perhaps skip a song or two. Brain rot? Perhaps I am dim. Most Aphiles don’t touch Spotify.   
What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
Simple circuit, fewer parts and short signal path. Fewest output devices……  
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
I also found the Graphene Sluggo to be directional although I was not sure at first.  @ozzy posted that he felt some of the non-Graphene Sluggos, like the Gold over copper, made the music seem louder. I agree 100%. I found that at first and with b... 
Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread
@ozzy you have some great power cords! I did this so the Swiss boxes would be neat and tidy behind my gear.  Mark says both positions are fine, but closer to the actual piece of gear seems like a small plus should protection mode be needed.  I und... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
  Built my own adaptors replacing the cheap ones from Amazon. My goodness what a big step up in sound quality! Huge. If any of you are using the cheap adaptors you really must build a good DIY adaptor. You can buy great sounding AC plugs on Amazo...
