Audiolab 6000CDT
I have 2 systems in my house, and have the 6000CDT on both with a high quality DAC. The sound quality is amazing.   
Sugden LA-4 review....the missing link
I have had an LA-4 for many years, I love it. It was first paired with a Sugden SPA_4 power amp, I now have it paired with the Sugden MPA-4 Mono blocks. Incredible control.  
Power conditions for Integrated Amps
I had a Furman, and i didnt like the results. I now have a Saturn 103C on both of my systems, and everything is plugged into it. dead quiet ZERO noise. The Saturn are capacitor based. I opened them up and had a look. all caps.  
Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
I ha a set of Contour 20i speakers, i loved them and felt they were going to be my end game speaker. Then my dealer made me a trade deal on his Demo Confidence 20's. These will be my end game speaker now. The confidence series is a next level spea... 
Amp & Pre or Integrated for Dynaudio Heritage Special
Not my cup of tea, but the bigger  Hegel amps pair well with Dynaudio. I find the Hegel amps to be very flat and neutral.   
Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?
Look at the Kinki Studio EX-M1 great amp 265 wpc i added a $300.00 sparkos op amp kit, and that made the amp sound even closer to Class A  
Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k
I have Sugden MPA - 4 Class A mono blocks, Around $15K for the pair they are my end game amps.  
Which power cords have high resolutions and separation??
I have all Wireworld Silver Electra 7 cables with reference ends on all my gear, i am very happy with the overall sound. My dealer gave me 3 different Wireworld power cords to try for a week, and i found the one that suited my ears best.  On my s... 
Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
I hate to sound Prickish, But i have learned that the better the audio gear, the more noticeable changes are to the ears. Once i stepped up to more higher end gear as in components, the cables made more of a difference to me. Stepping up in compon... 
New Sugden mono blocks have arrived.
I also have the Sugden IA-4 as a second system in the basement. Its a great little amp. I had the SPA-4 upstairs with the LA-4 Pre. I sold the SPA-4 to fund the mono blocks. So far they are incredible. the control is insane over a single power amp.  
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
I have 2 systems in my house, the upper, I have Dynaudio Confidence20 speakers, and the basement I have Capriccio Continuum ad monitor 311 speakers. Both sets are my end game speakers.  
Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp)
I have a soft spot for Sugden ClassA amps. I have an IA-4 in the basement, and I just bought a pair of Sugden MPA-4 mono blocks for my main listing room. I sold my Sugden SPA-4 power amp and kept the LA-4 pre amp. I did however have a Kinki EX-M1 ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
I have all orange fuses in both systems. i took my ohm meter and found which side of the horizontal fuse holder went to the incoming power from the cord. I placed the "S" side of the fuse there. Is this what others have done for directional correc... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
I have 6 in total, 1 on the wall directly in front of me, 2 at the first reflection point of the speakers. 1 directly behind me and 2 more on either side of me where i sit.  In my room, what they did was make the soundstage wider and more pronounc... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
I have the Sr orange fuses in both of my systems, and 9 components in total. I bought them all at the same time, got 30% off . Was a $1600.00 investment, and well worth the money. The fuses were the last tweak in my system. I don't have the 200 pl...
