Let's talk power cords
So the Furutech arrived a little while ago put it on my DAC. Three tracks into Bill Evans Trio "Live at Shelly's Manne-Hole" I feel like I'm hearing more overall transparency. Getting more of a sense of Bill's fingers hitting the piano keys and Ch...

@lak This is a first Furutech for me! I really only dabbled a  bit with power cords, Signal cable a less expensive model from Stealth the HAC. Neither made a difference I could hear. Picked up a Cerious Nano-Signature cord a few years back was blo...

duckworp welcome and a very thoughtful first post thank you. I agree with what you say and I wish we could all get along a bit better. And one comment on comparing mains cables, as I plan to do it tonight, what a pain in the a**! Ever looked behin...

Tube or Trasistor
davey it looks like a pretty well sorted system to me, one question though. On 4 I assume you mean PS Audio tubed monos but then you say "made in Hong Kong  silver point to point wiring". Can you provide more info on the amps. All in all I would c... 
Has anyone purchased the new Elac Adante floorstanders yet?
Since you already own them why not try moving the Scorpio's into the main system? You like their sound already and they look to be pretty full range speakers. If nothing else it will give you another data point on speakers vs electronics. 
Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc
Congrats on your new speakers I'm sure the anticipation is killer! Never heard them but at one point I had a pair of Alon, Nola's previous name, Lotus SE's that I quite liked. Happy listening! 
Wow! Vintage HiFi magazines.

Charles thanks and I almost bought that Reimyo before I put the bid in on my current AN DAC. The K2 remasters are amongst my all time favorite jazz re-issues.  The first time I read a review, of the initial  Reimyo CD player, I was deep in audio l...

Charles yes indeed he said the nano-liquid coating needs a lot of burn in so he said >800 hours before he ships it out. And I plan to try it on both and see what sounds best. I have good cords now Cerious Nano Signature I hope this is a nice im... 
What is really the purpose of streaming??
@lowrider57 you can't download anything from Tidal but on the app you can have an offline queue where you essentially do download stuff but you can only access it through the app. I do that on my phone so I can listen to stuff when I travel if I d... 
What is really the purpose of streaming??
@lowrider57 The music on your library has nothing to do with a streaming service it's stored on your hard drive or NAS or whatever. If you stop the streaming service you would lose your favorites or playlists you put together on the service accoun...
