| Pass x250.8 vs Hegel h4se vs Ayre VX-R Great point. Pass and Ayre are both US. Definitely would hate to send something that heavy to EU for service. | |

| Best used or new DAC under $3500 I'll second "Audio Note NOS DAC, no analogue filtering, tube output stage."Most organic, natural-sounding/musical digital music I've ever heard. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Initial project - upgrade stock to SR Black in Ayre AX-5 amp - was a two-parter...First, replaced half the fuses (mis-informed on quantity so originally ordered only half what was needed and had to place a 2nd order after getting the amp opened up... | |

| Recommendations for Amp/speaker combo for $10,000 Not knowing much about your room or tastes, if I were about to spend 10k it would be something like,Ayre integrated with aerial 7t'sOr, Ayre separates with Nola contenders, vandy's, possibly aerial 7b (I love mine but given how long they've been a... | |

| HiDiamond Speaker Cables I would love to try these. Not in the budget at the moment, and I'm really happy with the Zu Ibis currently in the system. I just have trouble imagining things sounding better than it does now, I am really incredibly happy with the sound. But the ... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... In my experience HD cable gets out of the way far more than any cable I've tried. In terms of coloration, detail, and soundstage. | |
