My wife is at it again.........
That's great!  I gave her a blog a plug in my Get Better Sound Quarter Notes newsletter - Vol.3, #3.Not long after, she stopped posting.  :(IMO - Nothing else like it - in a good way - on the 'net.

Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?

Yggy RCA Interconnects

Duelund hook up wires in a Sonus Faber Cremonas speakers??

whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
+3 on the Duelund.  High on musical involvement, low on price. 
Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard?
ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive. D-Agostino Momentum. E&E LARS. 
Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20
I used to use Janis Subs back the in late ’70s & early '80s. The crossover was 100 Hz. Is yours lower than that? 100 Hz is way too high for those Maggies.
