Boulder is dry.   
Simaudio Moon 700i v2
I'd love to hear how folks are liking the 700i now that it's been longer.   
Moon 700i vs 400M
Cripes why do you listen so loud. My ears hurt just thinking about it. Get some new speakers.   
Speakers choice with Octave v80se
@mawashi    Which amp did you end up with? Not clear on what the 211 tube is. Lampizator? I am about to upgrade into SabX and looking hard at the Octave V70 Class A or the 80 SE. As you know it's not an easy speaker to drive so I'd be interested... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
@daveyf   Nordost cables are a notoriously fast, accurate (albeit bright) cable. Wilson is a fast accurate speaker. Fast+Fast is not really a good combo for my listening ear anyway. I wouldn't choose Nordost for anything but the slowest or tube ... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
I can't believe all the Nordost recommendations, awful awful choice. I own Wilsons and wouldn't recommend those cables to my enemy on these speakers. Entirely too accurate.    Call Dave at Zenwave audio he's making some of the best cables next t... 
Can Any MSB Premier Dac Owners Chime In???
The Discrete is excellent, it could be all the dac anyone will ever need. I love mine..With that said I am moving up to the Premier. Not even sure why because the Discrete never leaves me wanting more. It's much more of a I can do it so I will thi... 
Wilson Audio Tunetot Loudspeakers Reviewed !
Wilson's are very sensitive the gear your hook up to them. They will reveal everything, for better or worse. I listened to these speakers yesterday, extensively, brought my Sugden integrated and it was a match made in heaven. I mean other worldly ... 
Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper?
"I have built gear and cables using both and one fact remains.....there is no answer to your question that is the final truth for all. It depends on your gear, musical tastes (type of music), sound preference, system synergy and on and on..... I h... 
Best Server To Run Roon Core
@david_ten    Hi David, pretty much all aspects of the presentation improved. Everything just seems quieter, calmer, more musical. So all the things that come along with that in any given system will vary I suppose, for me it was not a small dif... 
Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4???
I had the Eno and Gigafoil on hand at the same time and auditioned both extensively..In my system it was no contest, the Gigafoil made a PROFOUND difference as opposed to the ENO's VERY subtle difference. I sent the ENO back and have the GF, still... 
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
@jl1ny   Don't listen to those idiots on ASR..Honestly, search the threads and see how they treat people..It's just a group of bitter dicks who can't afford anything hifi who live in their Mom's basements.  Just find ways to listen to items wit... 
Network Switches
@tecknik    You really didn't understand a word I said. Reread it again, and again and again. Until it sinks in. This isn't a competition...I have LPS and I have switch mode PS, depends on what you are powering. Again, reading comprehension is v... 
Network Switches
@tecknik tecknik And LPS and a wal wart (switching power supply) serve two difference purposes. You have no idea what you are talking about...There are times when a switching power supply is best because it's a faster power supply and the signal ... 
A revolutionary way to raise the performance of your system for very little money
I've had the 106, then upgraded to the 156, it made a small improvement, maybe..It was the Groundmaster that REALLY made a difference. System took a huge leap forward. Everything was just clearer, highs were a little more forward and voices were s...
