Cullen Gold Series Power Box (6 Outlet Receptacle Strip)-Review
Yes it’s on the site. Took about 4 weeks to get it. Patrick said he was backed up with orders. But he does give you updates if you ask. Was worth the wait.   
Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1)
@audphile1  Surprised you sol your Bricasti DAC. What made you make that change?  
Accuphase Experiences
Yes the ABH2 is very nice amp. Very neutral and detailed. Great amp for evaluating all components in the system. But it just lacks that last bit of midrange body and  while it basically delivers whatever is connected before it with no coloration I... 
Accuphase Experiences
No I didn’t bring the AHB2 with me however the Accuphase clearly had a more expansive soundstage and better instrument separation as well as a slightly more larger presentation that wasn’t confined to a between the speakers image. Also vocals were... 
Accuphase Experiences
Sorry. Been busy and forgot to post the results of my amp auditions.    I liked the Bryson 4b3 demoed with the same DAC, Streamer and Speakers I own. The amp was very dynamic with a nice soundstage. Nothing to complain about but nothing that was ... 
which gain setting for Bryston 4b cubed power amp using my RME ADI-2 DAC FS?
Yes I’m currently running my MSB Discrete DAC directly into my Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier. I have the amp gain at the mid setting of 17db and the DAC Output Impedance set to Low (150 ohms). This gives me a good volume range on my DAC. Volume control...

@audphile1  I did try Audiogon but got not one watcher or question. . A day after EBay listing already got 35 watchers and two enquirers. I’ve always had success on EBay. If it doesn’t sell in 10 days I’ll relist on Audiogon

Handling Heavy Amps
@laginz  I did my best to find a light weight amp I could live with. But once I was able to have it delivered and setup for me I decided to entertain amps under 70 pounds. And there are many in that 45-70 lb range. It came down to the Bryston 4b3... 
Accuphase Amplifier Power Cable
Ok thanks I’ll search  
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
I had the N200 on my radar for months and loved it when I finally demoed it. It’s very smooth and detailed. However once I decided to also buy an MSB Discrete DAC that has a BNC Word Clock output I moved up to the Aurender N20 that has a Word Cloc... 
Handling Heavy Amps
@elliottbnewcombjr    Yes heavier than I initially was targeting but I could only find amps that were heavier that I liked and that were near me that I could demo.Once I understood that most dealers would deliver and setup I was more comfortable...
