Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?
Stay away from this sale. If it were an IC, then fine. Speakers are a whole different story. Too many chances for damage and then what? Oh my stay away. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Well I love this site and have been very active selling, buying, and posting. I like reading geoffkait's comments as I find him both humorous and well educated on many matters important to this site. He certainly does not need my backing, but it i... 
Class D Technology
From what I understand the Lyngdorf utilizes many new technologies and Equibit is just a small portion of it. Regardless, this one box solution is amazing in its totality.  
Class D Technology
I am referring to all of it as you pointed out including amplification. The Lyngdorf is completely digital dismissing the need for conventional analog preamp and dac. It is a Class D amp in the digital domain.  
Class D Technology
Fact is the times have changed in audio. Digital is blossoming with tech that combines dac, amp, preamp, room correction etc.. all into one or two boxes keeping the signal all digital up until the point the signal is sent to the speaker. Read all ... 
Class D Technology
Nicely said Guido. My Lyngdorf 2170 can also be put into the category of Class D amps that sound as good or better than the many tube and SS amps I have owned in the past. I do not hear any weakness in my integrated amp.   It actually replaced sep... 
Consonance Reference 2.2 Auricap Mod
A agree with bigkidz. Forget about Auricap as you can actually improve the sound more with a better cap. Vcap Copper ones are great. I find the Jupiter copper foils ones even better. I

I like the ST70 and MK4 Dyna monos a lot and have had and modded both. I also modded the Cary Rocket 88r and it really is very special. When I say mod I am referring to better parts quality and replacing suspect parts due to age. The Cary can be h...

Cary Rocket88r.   Used. Owned the Dynaco and it is fine sounding once modified and updated. However the Cary is far better in my set-up anyway.

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Yes indeed the fuse is the bottleneck in the power supply. Try this simple test for those brave enough to try :) Replace the fuse with an appropriately sized solid core, pure copper lug of 6-10 gauge and hear the improvement. Hopefully your house ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
While I agree technically with Almarg, I still think that tiny little wire does indeed impact the power supply in terms of sound. Like many things in audio the raw data does not explain it all. I have bypassed fuses, used circuit breaker on/off sw... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Good point Almarg. I can see your point and thanks.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
 Through technology I guess size does not matter! What I have said is I believe synergistic research has found a way to have that very thin wire act like a 14 gauge At least that is my thought.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
They work because fuses are the biggest bottleneck in the power supply. Bypass the fuse and improve the sound far more. I am not saying do it, but the point is any fuse is the weak link in the power supply. That tiny, tiny, thin wire of a fuse pla...
