High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Jafox, so why do you read this thread and post on it?Because if the only people who post here drink the HF Cables Kool Aid, this would be a mighty boring thread.

Rick is one of those audio guys, like me, who gets excited about the best audio possible and works continually toward that goal. Come on, I think this applies to nearly everyone here, designers and consumers. Rick is only one of 100's of engineeri... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Thank you Steve. With limited remaining shelf space I was trying to reduce the number of more boxes and power cords. I will start with the Turbo 5 PS after I spend much time comparing the T5 with the wal wart vs. MacMini str8 into the Lampi B6 via...

Thank you Wisnon. I sent an email to Paul.

Calvinj, my concern is that this thread gives me a hint that we could be heading into the $100k power cord very soon if this "newest High Fidelity cable of the month club" does not calm down. Then I will need to sell my 3 Lamborghinis to achieve t...

With rare exceptions (such as recordings with phase anomalies), two-channel stereo doesn't produce 3-dimensional sound.My experience of 30+ years paints quite a different picture. And without exception, such performance requires a tube line stage ...

Thank you Steve for the details. I have read about Hynes PS's for things like Mac Mini's. With an OffRamp 5 and a Mac Mini, maybe Hynes could make a custom PS to drive both. I will enquire with Hynes on this.

Thank you Steve. It's always good to hear when a designer puts out a great performing product at a lower cost. For your products, did you ever try using linear power supplies from such companies as Lambda or HP and were they ugh more affective tha...

Oh no, not another new model. I just spent $175k cabling my system with the CT-1 UR and now I need to start all over again? 
Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere
I have not auditioned or changed cables in 5 years. The system just sounds too good to have any desire to play the cables game any time soon. For awhile I had all purist dominus cabling with the Aesthetix Io/Callisto, CAT amps and Manley DAC. I di...

Bo the Audio Consultant? Hardly! Maybe interior decorator is more appropriate.There are some wild looking amps and speakers out there but with so much competition in these areas, it's easy to find one of great sound and acceptable looks. And such ...

I been trying cables almost non stop for the last 4 or 5 years and this stuff is on another level. And how many times have we all heard this before? And how many months will it be before the next coming of the cable almighty will appear from the c...

Bo1972, once you put a component on the Sistrum, you won't see the darn thing anyway. And let's face it, a lot of audio gear is ugly as hell. 
Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere
No No No on the Dominus with Aesthetix products. The Dominus B or C has the same faults as the Aesthetix products, i.e., over exaggeration of the middle octaves and suffering of detail at the frequency extremes. The Stealth Dream or Dream State po... 
The cloud?
Just get a 2TB drive for $100 and be done with it. This whole Cloud thing is such a marketing joke!
