| Kiseki Purpleheart I replaced my Allarerts MC1B with Lyra Kleos. I am happy with change. The Allaerts had a lot of mileage on it. Nice detail and openess. | |

| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? I had very occasional dropouts with WIFI on my Node 2i (Amazon HD). I switched to a Cat 8 cable and have not the problem again. I am using a Cullen C7 power cable and DH Labs D750 Coax to CDP Dac. | |

| Equalizer for hearing loss I purchased widex moment hearing aids. I am now able to hear upper frequencies I was missing. It was like I upgraded my speakers. They were not inexpensive but with the prices of HiFi equipment today I was ok with the purchase. | |
