Best sounding CD player
The Neodio ORIGINE S2 CD player is stunningly good. You can also use it as a streaming dac. Easily some of the best sound I have ever heard in a digital front end.  
Stored, used, crossover capacitor burn in / reforming time
You will get 90% of what they sound like within the first 24 hours of play. Little change after that for the next couple of days of playtime.   
Boutique caps in oil... reliable?
@charles1dad    I also look forward to your comments on the Abbas 3.2SE dac.  I never of them before, but did some reading and find his attitude towards design and parts so darn fresh and wonderful.  A true artist!  Most intriguing.    I use th... 
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
Hi Mitch2, I had done that for some time with the Townshend Pods. I had no other choice with my rack. It helped me set up the pods a tad more easily, but after selling the Pods I just let it hang free of floor, other cables, rack etc…  
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
Forgot to mention how the weight and length of your power cord and cabling can also add to the frustration of proper Townshend Pod placement and functioning. My integrated amp has a long and heavy power cord on it that hangs off the back as my amp... 
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
I purchased a bunch of Townshend pods and bars for under my gear and former speakers. I liked how they made my system sound and found their service to be top notch. In the end I sold them because I found them hard to place and work with. If your ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
They look very similar to the Wolf Von Langa line of speakers.  So similar that WVL should take notice.  The WVL line uses field coil midrange and woofers however.  WVL makes fantastic sounding speakers.  While they look similar it seems both comp... 
Any Nashville enthusiasts?
Sorry, digital only 😕 New to Nash area?   
Experienced only: What have you done with room correction?
 Lyngdorf room correction transformed the sound of my Dali Epicon 6 speakers and Harbeth 40.1s in my systems.  Much improved bass, midrange clarity and overall musicality.    The Lyngdorf room correction also improved the sound of my friends Audi...

Something the former dealer for Innuos and the rest of us to consider regarding Innuos gear. Since the former dealer dropped the Innuos line, Innuos has developed their own software program. The program is called SENSE. The current version of SENS... 
Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2?
All things in audio are subjective. This is one thing that is always true! No, for me I am not brought to tears by music listening to a transitor radio. At least not to date 🙂.   For me, I need a system that truly excels in realism. The cool thin... 
Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2?
I owned the Coda 07x preamp and #8 amplifier. I honestly just did not like the 07X at all. I was patient and tried to hear something special, but in the end it sounded rather small and flat in my system. I know others love it. Just not my experien... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Interesting thread. Many, including myself, believe that blind testing and A/B testing in general is flawed and not a reliable means to test for differences, identification or preferences between gear. The reasons are many and posted on many other... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
A quick update to this thread. Innuos Sense has just released the 2.2.2 update and it sounds even better folks. To my ears the sound quality improvement is not minor, but rather impressive across the board. Innuos owners you’re in for a treat. It’... 
Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options
@lak  Are you now using the Amazon speaker cables in your above link? Curious how they compare to your others. Thanks for the link!
