| Which type of cable sounds best for Streamer to DAC: AES/EBU or DIGITAL COAX or USB ?? I tried both USB and AES between my Lumin Digital Transport and my Holo Audio Sprong DAC 3 KTE, and I preferred the AES to USB. It just sounded warmer and and smoother to my ears. I have not tried the I2S connection because of all the confusion... | |

| Resistor replacement Wilson Sophia (original)... Just took delivery of a used pair of Sasha 2s and I ordered a new set of resistors to start off with a clean slate. The speakers sound great out of the crate…so I’m wondering if doing the replacement is worth the hassle? Could it improve the perf... | |

| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Hey Ozzy, Just tagged you on another topic (JL Audio CR-1). As far as the cable thing, yeah.. probably not ideal with a drastic bend that could weaken the metal, but man... worrying about bending a cable a bit that's designed to be pliabl... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Really? Bending a cable will affect its performance?? Wondering... how were YOUR cables delivered to you? were they laid flat on a 2x4 to keep them straight?... or were they coiled on a tight circle with a continuous bend and shipped in a box? Th... | |
