Yes it is all counterfeit.  Look at companies like Zavfino Cable, Signal Cable or used before you buy this counterfeit crap. Support small North American business not the CCP.  https://zavfinousa.com/collections/speaker-cables   http://si... 
Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
After reading this thread I am glad I am not the OP.  No one is reading what this guys goals and limitations are.    At your level you need to sell it all…not upgrade this or that. You will need a real DAC like a Lampizator or Esoteric or MSB... 
Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
For a small to medium room the Sonetto 1 is fine. I would have popped for the Sonetto II but that is me. I prefer a hi quality 2 way like the Sonner or QLN over floor standers. I have small REL T Zero’s to fill out the lower registers and have tun... 
Ideal power cord lengths?
However long you need them…wow!  
Direct Drive
You guys are worse than the motorcycle forums. Pasta burner vs kraut burner vs rice burner. Chain vs belt, vs shaft.  WHO CARES DD or Belt it's about the music.  Silly!  
NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE
Totally agree with @soix, if I were in your shoes and going to stay the course with your configuration, I would look at the Atma-Sphere and AGD offerings.   
Streamer Upgrade
Highly recommend the Moon By Simaudio Mind2 Network Player. Very rare to see these in the previously loved market.. And made in North America. Simaudio even makes their boards in their plant in Canada er Montreal, QC.  https://www.usaudiomart... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Surprised no one (roxy) did not rip into the OP for his typo 'odsure" when it is obscure. Junior Kimbrough: Meet Me In The City   
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
@prighello for whatever reason this @kokakolia is not a Focal fan (neither am I but I will not speak ill of them) and wants to cast dispersions that they are made in China. I am guessing he has some affiliation with this OGY line, if not it is an...

@kokakolia some companies in China do treat their workers well. I know this first hand.    Anyway not to worried about Focal and their low end stuff. I only own QLN and Sonner. Way above these price points. I do not care for the Focal sound and S... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
@drbay I hear you my man and enjoy  your system. Have a great rest of your day.  
My take on subjective vs. objective
Do Pepsi and Coke (or Budweiser and Heineken) still taste the same once you know which is which? Or only after you know which is which?   Not even close on that one. Heineken smells like a skunk, Budweiser smells like sewage treatment plant  in... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Pure opinion @drbay you must have had a real weak analog FE setup if a Node 2i is besting it.  Just saying..... I have $15K in my digital FE and $8K in my analog FE and prefer it. Though I enjoy them both immensely.  Bottom line for me is it is ... 
Has anyone tried the new Audio Mirror Tubadour MKIV SE DAC?
Not looking like it buddy. I think a few have or had the MK III and it hap positive reviews.

@kokakolia You could not be more wrong about SF and Focal. SF did make some of their HT stuff in China at one point and abandoned that practice some time ago. Focal has always been made in France. Stick to the facts.
