Contemplating move from Elac UniFi FS’s to ex-demo Devore Super 8s
I’ve heard DeVore speakers and think they sound great. I’ve never heard Elac’s however and can’t comment on the differences but to me DeVore’s are musical in the best possible way. Your amp should have no issues at all driving Super 8’s, much bett... 
Crackling noise
Did you plug both cables into that same port? Make sure its not a short in the cable itself. I had a short in an RCA cable and it sounded as you describe a crackling sound.

Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)
I am so confused how do you "use Audioquest cables" differently? One end goes into the wall socket the other end into your component. Is there some other way to "use" a power cable? 
If you like Schubert...
Does anyone know if this is something I can find on Tidal? Would love to check it out but searching for classical is bewildering to a novice like me. Thanks! 
No love for Verity?
I have never heard one and guessing they are rather hard to find and audition. That being said the reviews look great and I would love to hear a pair of their speakers some day.

Auralic Aries and Aries Mini, I use a Mini and love it.  
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
I think if this thread has shown us anything really good dealers are rare and should be prized. If you find one patronize that dealer and treat him fairly and you will be repaid in good advice and likely less money wasted.
