Jitterbugs from Audioquest and the Regen
Ozzy, not sure if you were suggesting trying them simultaneously but Audioquest did not recommend using the jitterbug and the iPurifier though they probably meant at opposite ends of the same USB cable. The jitterbug can be added to an unused USB ... 
Jitterbugs from Audioquest and the Regen
I'd be interested in comparisons between the jitterbug and the iFi iPurifier. 
FLAC, WAV or AIFF question
Thank you all for your responses. This is very helpful since I'd like to try some downloads from sound liaison. 
I am going to build a listening room
Make it look like a hotel room since all the rooms at shows look like hotel rooms. ;-)P.S. If you're the obsessive-compulsive type like most of us then you are going to have a field day!

Speak with Jon Spelt at Ultra Fidelis in Wauwatosa. I no longer live there but Jon is very knowledgable and a great guy to deal with. 
JL Audio F110 Loud pop when pc unplugged ?
Is there an on/off switch? If so, try turning the sub "off" first and waiting at least a minute before pulling the power cord.

Refined SS Stereo pwr amps under 10K?
I replaced my DS225 with the Ayre VX-5 and have been very satisfied. You may lose some of that perceived hyper transparency but you gain musicality with the Ayre. 
Moving up from Cardas Clear
I moved from cardas clear to shunyata zitron anaconda interconnects. It will image more precisely, is faster, more natural and better balanced in my system. However, if you try them make sure they are well burned in or else you will not be impress... 
Any thoughts on the Shunyata Venom3S
I started my shunyata journey with venom 3s. Thought they were terrific for the money. Now I am using all black mambas and my transport and dac are plugged into a hydra 2. The amp uses a black mamba hc plugged directly into the wall. Then I added ... 
Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2
Doug, regarding cabling I'd likely be running coaxial from the CD player to the minimax plus but optical is another option. You mention the importance of auditioning as many cables as possible. In your experience and in the context of your system,...
