| Equipment purchase that made you want to get off the Merry Go Round (good or Bad) “When I bought my Silverline Bolero speakers I closed the book on that pursuit.” I loved my Bolero speakers and every time Newbee mentions them I feel a tug at my heartstrings. Great final speaker. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Jeff at Sonic Craft told me this a year ago. He only stocks the Classic and Absolute stating the others are a waste of time to carry. I trust his ears as he knows what he is talking about. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? @mitch2 +1. I could have retired last year! | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Wonder if this is the same exact wire? Jeff at Sonic Craft usually has very competitive pricing! I am now using his Neotech 16 gauge solid core copper in Teflon as my outer Helix conductor for my USB cable. Will try it for ICs soon. Always used th... | |

| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? Yes. May be forced to put in $1. | |
| Best USB CABLE UNDER $1000. Serious answers only? Easy......Sablon Audio. It is fantastic! | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? Thanks @thyname as I did not realize the poster used all these past usernames. | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? @dannadFew posts, but loud and proud. More of what is ruining this site. Not going to waste my time and knowledge with you as your attitude is quite clear. For the record I have been inside a Mojo unit and done extensive work. Carry on.... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? The Mojo dac is far from crude and you should do your homework before saying such a thing. Ben is a digital expert and builds one of the very best sounding dacs available at any price. Simplicity in design executed brilliantly is a magical audio r... |
