How Long Is Too Long?
Sutherland did not make a PSU. His first phono preamps were battery powered. It was called the PHD! i had the phd, lovely unit, beautifully built -- utterly quiet black background, sweet sound... lacked a little drive/prat compared to the best ... 
Morrow power cables
some of these are just ploys for some free advertising i think leaving aside the quality of their cables, my past experience with morrow has been they are extremely aggressive online marketers... i pinged them once with an innocuous question abou... 
New DACs High End Munich 2023
I have a customer who just traded in an Lampizator Amber 4 with VC for a Bricasti M3. @verdantaudio scott i hope you will listen to this thing and compare to the well known ones you have discussed in the past, weiss, bricasti, rockna, chord, ... 
Sweet Sounding DAC
boy oh boy this can’t be helping lucasz at lampi in poland ... maybe we have a dealer with too much inventory  
It’s it just me or there are others.
@roxy54  i agree with you on your reply - op's assertion is a gross generalization, and as such hardly accurate as for 'chaps' vs 'chops' i suspect this is a english-is-second-language issue... so be nice ... 🤣😀

@yyzsantabarbara i have also had both the yggy as well as the 005 (as you well know) curious to hear you describe how you compare them sonically... i had the yggy og, but it was a while back also, what streamer or digital input did you use? ... 
Best way to connect my Gustard R26?

@rubicon15 2 posts 06-22-2023 at 05:27am  I would strongly consider a used Lampizator Amber 3 or new Amber 4. These are incredible DACs. You can look up the specs and reviews. They clearly out perform others on the market at 2-3 times the pric... 
Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700)

Can a system sound too Holographic?
good point @roxy54 i remember several years back, i bought a preamp from a nice older gentleman locally, he insisted i come in to hear his system, of which he was very proud i sat there, big focals driven by $15000 mcintosh hybrids, in a beauti... 
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
HiFi stores can’t earn enough profit in a market with diminishing customers to afford the rent. The lucky ones own their property or have favorable long-term leases. this is a good point... so many ground floor businesses, looking at them, you ...

Used PS Audio Items
ps audio has had a long standing policy of taking in used gear at good values when customers buy new ps audio gear (sold at high retail margins of course, so it benefits them to do this) ... as such they need a respectable well run outlet to then ...
