Linear Power Supply for a DAC
I use several TeraDak LPS units and they are wonderful.  I would make or buy an upgraded DC power cord and not use the one that comes with the unit. I use Canare Quad bulk cable and  Oyaide DC connectors.  
Efficient Speakers with SS Powered Subwoofers for SET amps?
With the LM amp you should consider the Tekton Double Impact SE speakers. They cost $6500 new. They are highly effecient and offer tremendous bass. No powered sub needed in these. The LM would be a wonderful match. The bass in these speakers is as...

I have read all of that. I am not defending the seller, but stating the facts on this site. Buyers need to post negative feedback on sellers that deserve and it may not be happening here. Bad on the buyers. Also, the seller may be pleasing far mor...

Again, no negative feedback given on this site in over 9 years. All positive with no neutrals even. We owe the community, Agon community, to post negative feedback on sellers if they deserve it. Those having negative experiences with this seller d... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
@dynaquest4. Your post is interesting to me. Since you have no idea if your claim is true or false, as you have no proof, your comment is more a reflection of an intolerance towards views and experiences differing from your own. Goodness we are al...

I have an order in right now and hope it turns out well. Surprised to hear some of the negative past experiences as I don’t see these in his feedback for the most part. Nothing negative over the past 9 years.

Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers
Does anyone know what tower cabinet at Parts Express can be used with a GR Research tower kit? My step son would like to build a set of floor standing speakers, but needs a cabinet not just drivers and crossover.  He wants floor standers.  Thanks.  
Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker?

Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound?
Some caps need as little as 50 hours. It depends on the construction design and physical size.  For example,  Jantzen Superior Z caps need only 50 hours, however Duelund copper foil (PIO) caps need all of 500 hours.  Just the way it is.   
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
LOL! 
Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound?
No, break in requires more time for the extra large caps made by companies like Jupiter Condenser and Duelund. Values for passive crossovers from 5-10uf are the size of Coke cans. These windings take 500 hours of run in and experience from pros pr... 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
We all agree everything is important 😉 I will certainly agree that the source is critical as everything else in the chain is dependent on it to sound its best.  Great up front gear coupled with a good speaker will yield wonderful results every tim...
