Lampizator Atlantic?
Has anyone heard both the Big 7 and Atlantic? I’d be interested in hearing a comparison between the two DACs. 
Music Server
I’ve had computer music servers (Mac mini, NAS, Audirvana) and purpose-built music servers with internal music storage (Aurender N100H and Antipodes DX Gen 2). From my personal experience, I can say that both the Aurender and the Antipodes are con... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I've also jumped on the Equi=Core bandwagon and was really surprised by the improvement over more expensive cables--and right out of the box, too. I'm looking forward to seeing how they break in. Mark - thank you for being so helpful and respondin... 
SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
I'd read a lot about 45-based amps requiring very efficient speakers (over 100dB), but I've run 45 amps by Korneff, Burgess and Yamamoto with Vaughn Triode speakers (97dB) with great success. My room is 21'x19', I generally don't listen to very lo... 
aurender n10 or....?
Also, I forgot to add that the Antipodes has an optical drive so you can rip your CDs direct to the internal solid state drive.  
aurender n10 or....?
You should also consider the Antipodes DX (the newest Roon ready version) with the AES/EBU option. Late last year I upgraded from a Mac Mini to an Aurender N100H, that was a huge leap forward in sound quality. I really like the Aurender Conductor ... 
Where do you guys buy tubes?
I typically buy vintage NOS tubes from Brent Jessee, service and quality are top notch. Www.audiotubes.com 
Help...hum issue with new preamp
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I'm currently having a new Cabernet Dual built with 300B tubes. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing it in my system.  
Help...hum issue with new preamp
@barfbag How do you like the Cabernet as compared to the Calypso? 
Music Servers-Why so few?
I agree with lalitik, at $2700 the Aurender N100 is a steal; it was significant upgrade over my previous Mac Mini/Audirvana/NAS solution. The Aurender app is incredibly well thought out, the integration with Tidal is really nice too.   
Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
I had a pair of Super HL5 Plus, I didn't notice a difference with the grills on/off. Also, the easiest way to get the grills off is with a cheap magnet from Home Depot, doesn't leave a mark.  
Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition???
After reading some positive reviews about the Revels, I was underwhelmed when I auditioned the F208. They were being driven by an NAD Master Series amp. I ended up buying a pair of Harbeth SHL5+, which I found to be far more musical and enjoyable.... 
LSA the gem of a good system
I'm driving a pair of Harbeth SHL5+ with the LSA Statement and couldn't be happier. The sound is truly amazing. 
Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s?
I recently upgraded from PSB Imagine T2 to Harbeth SLH5 Plus and couldn't be happier with the choice, it's easily the best money I've spent on audio gear.I'm currently driving them with a tubed Amp, Rogue Cronus Magnum. I'm pretty fortunate to hav... 
Another Cronus Magnum question
I definitely agree that the amp is very easy on the ears, I can listen for hours without any fatigue.
