Experience with Modwright products?
I spoke to their receptionist once or twice inquiring about products and even she was super awesome. I didn't end up purchasing, but they just had that energy of a good company and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from.    As a side note, being an All... 
Contact for Price
@dekay hahaha that is amazing!   @testpilot is spot on. If it's a dealer, I have had them offer discounted pricing that they didn't want to upset the market displaying. It's definitely not always the case, but this is one of the benefits. It doe... 
speakers for small room
I have Sopra 2's in my 9x13 room. Bass gets a little boomy, also the person downstairs gets a bass show. I personally am looking to downsize to limit the bass and energy it takes to run them. They sound fantastic by the way, but too big for my roo... 
What do/did you do for a living?
@jjss49  I know right. It's been fun to go back through these and read about they different life experiences. Interesting change in my cost perspective over the the past 3 years!  
Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge
My advice is to move past the Nova II. I had the III and even with the added power supply I felt it was unengaging and flat sounding. Manley Chinooks added tons of warmth and depth over the Nova. Can’t say I’ve got any input on cartridge warmth, b... 
Dartzeel w/Other Preamps.
@thanasakis can you tell me a little more about what you didn't like about the darts? What makes them so overrated?  
Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity
I must be going backwards. Started with a Hana, now a Dynavector, next a Benz LPs  
Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation
I ran a BHK250 for a year and was happy with everything but the heat in the summer. I'm sure a pair of BHK300's would be a vast improvement. I'll be trying some class D with my Sopra 2's soon.   
Power cable
If you can't hear the difference cables make you are either deaf or unwilling to invest the money to get the experience of the changes. I'm no 40 year audiophile and I've been through a few and they all make a difference. Hell changing from my Shu... 
Short?
Power conditioners don't restrict all noise coming from the outlets in the house. My Shunyata Denali allows noise through to my speakers when I click on my vpi record cleaner. Clearly audible. So your Niagara won't stop everything on the line.   
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@yyzsantabarbara that's good to hear. I was hoping to avoid having the drop that much on a pair. I just saw TMR is now an authorized dealer and they're up for $15k of I remember correctly so figured they still were relevant and compete with the ne... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@blisshifi I saw your mention the Cambridge and have read a few accolades on them. I usually mischaracterize their equipment as budget and I should really give it a shot instead of poor blanket statements. The XA topology is interesting I'll have ... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@blisshifi gotcha. Is the A Vs M just a monoblocks differential or is there any difference to build? I'd definitely be interested if you get to hear a pair. I've been curious about the Mola Mola class D, but $15k is a little too steep for me to ex... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@blisshifi looks like T+A makes those class D M200 amps in monoblocks and they sell for $10k. I'm going for Atma-sphere's class D first, but these t+a have peaked my interest to compare them for sure.   
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
I have respect for the few awesome drivers I've dealt with, but the fact that UPS doesn't back up their insurance claims for the lazy ones is what drives me mad. UPS needs to step up their quality or I'll be the first to jump on the next new shipp...
