Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
The Helix cables are not all bright or overly forward. They are open and and let you hear deeply into the recording. They reveal more than the Duelund in a good and realistic way.  I am confident you would love the ICs added to your system. By add...

They are better as @aniwolfe says, but I would not be quite as bold about being “far better” as that is not so clear cut in all systems and ears. The Duelund is warmer and a tad more relaxed in many systems, including mine, which can be a good thi...

My experience with ICs has always been 16-18 gauge sounds better than 24-20 gauge.  Just my experience.

Change a blown fuse or an older tube? Yes you can with no warranty worries. These things are owner replaceable and not meant to only be sent back to the manufacturer.

I would add this one note. My system is very natural sounding and my Mojo Audio dac has much to do with this. No part of the frequency spectrum is out of balance. In my system a full loom of Helix cables works very well. If a system has a piece of...

Funny stuff. Don’t open that lid to change a fuse or tube or you will void warranty? You must be kidding right? Oh my.

The cumulative effect of the Helix cables is quite arresting. I now have Double Helix ICs, USB and jumpers. In addition, all my power cables are now Helix. I can say that the more the better. Each new cable I added increased the realism and resolu...

Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version)
I have near the same story as Ozzy with this same player.  The board comes from China.   Terrible experience ☹️ 
RCA cable design
...the geometry also. Yes it all matters.

If you have a resistor in series, then replace it with Path Audio. Resistors play a big role in tone also.

The new Vcap Odam caps are perfect for your needs. Nice and warm.  
Everything Matters With Digital
That is a great unit! I am looking at daisy chaining it after my SOTM Switch. That unit comes with a trial period so you have nothing to lose financially and can experience first hand if the unit is a worthwhile addition.

Ignore those folks as they are just being ignorant.....on purpose.  Why? Because they have chosen to be ignorant by not accumulating any actual listening experience with all the wonderful digital audio innovations coming out.  They should just be ...

Well said Steve. Folks like you, me, and others with a plethora of first hand experience know what is true because we took the time and conducted the listening and other tests. We build, tweak, adjust, re-build, make more adjustments, listen and o...
