Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors
Yes extreme toe in can work wonderfully. I have my speakers set up as Chayro states. I listen nearfield also. Astounding results with a two way speaker! 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Another way to say it is the Yamamoto dac with several mods is indeed a contender. No DSD however. No USB so an Offramp is needed with it.

Thank you for the update Matt. I have been following quietly and enjoy the thread and well written humor. Having owned the Romulus and finding the $2200 Yamamoto dac to be better, I think your session will not last very long. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi, where are you? Tell us about your new Omega speakers. Please. I am shopping for a set of high efficiency speakers. I am leaning towards Audio Kinesis as well as Audio Note. Problem with AN is how utterly confusing that line is. What is the ...

Rebbi, what speaker have you settled on? Coming close to one in particular? 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Waiting on your comparison Jet. I like the WE IC's and the Belden is now back up. I use a nude set with a shielded set also. Perfect combo! 
Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker
Hi guys. I love these speakers, but it is time to move on! Why? Because I have seen the light. Well, I heard the 8 watt SET amps we all love on true high efficiency speakers and I fell instantly in love. These Lahave speakers are 90db and somewhat...

Jet, look at the barrel that fits over the cable on the Switchcraft connector. The far end, end opposite the RCA, this will show you how wide you can go on the shield. You would never slide this barrel over 1/2 inch braiding. It was hard for me to...

Jet, look at Jeff Day's blog/thread on the WE IC's as there is a link to "Take Five Audio" for Belden braided tube shielding. They offer various sizes. I used 1/4-1/3 inch as 1/2 inch would be too big. It does expand a little. Hard to work with th... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Doing some late night listening on monoblock SET 300b amps tonight. I have been going back and forth between the shielded WE ICs I built vs the Belden. After some extended listening it is quite clear to me the WE IC is the better IC in my system o...

As an FYI, I am at some 130 hours. I pray they stay right here:) 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Jet & others, well the WE ICs sound stunningly beautiful today. Jet, as I read your comments about when the WE ICs are at their burn-in best, I feel your excitement and pleasure. I am there right now. Right now as I listen. I know others have ...

Charles, I will build a nude set of WE IC's and compare once it has fully burned it. I will use this one between my dac and preamp.It may react differently in my system vs. another's based on Al's comments above.
