| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed I’m still loving the Clear Reflection XLR’s. I’ve since up graded my speaker cables from Cardas Neutral Reference to Virtual Dynamics Master Series. Truth be told, I took a crack at going full loom with Virtual Dynamics. I test drove the Master s... | |

| Denarips and Vinshine split @mbmi You lost me at Steve Huff…🤦♂️ | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 As a T1 owner I concur that you’ll be hard pressed to find a better DAC for less. I do recommend that you perhaps consider upgrading whatever digital cable you’re using. The Terminators pair exceptionally well with Sablon Audio Cables, I’ve been u... | |

| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Interesting…I’ve yet to find any filer that’s worthwhile but @ $280 bucks delivered, I might give this a try. I’m using Supra CAT8, modem to router and router to streamer… I would assume it would make sense to obtain a short run of supra and ditch... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Not disclosing brand names is ridiculous. Brand pairing has been discussed a million times. | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i Had one and enjoyed it thoroughly. It’s definitely great for what it is, but it’s no giant killer. | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? @1971gto455ho oh gawd, IIRC they were low end Rs10? Bookshelves. My eyes (and ears) weren’t opened until I got into my 1st Apogee Acoustic and Vandersteens. |
