AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound?
@deep_333  Thanks for the tip. Børresen fan, checking also.  
What's the value in lots of capacitors inside a line stage preamp?
I’m just starting to learn about electric circuits and am fortunate my audio club offered a class including using a meter and oscilloscope . Still trying to figure out what signal generator to buy. Anyway, I’m learning about capacitors here  
why expensive streamers
@blisshifi  Maybe copy your post then paste on the next round of “it’s only 1s and 0s” If they can’t hear it’s extremely likely (near 100%) their system is not transparent enough.

Next time, I suggest doing a search for this topic rather than starting the 2,134,568th thread on the same topic with the same reponses. +1 @herman it a bit fatiguing repeating again and again. Short answer the data rides on an analog stream ... 
My new B Stock speakers
Congratulations on your new speakers. I’m a fan of the BE sound, didn’t care for the B&W sound.  Stop worrying about past measurements as it’s irrelevant when compared to the sonics you personally enjoy.  
Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system?

What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Borresen M1 Standmount - heard them at a audio show and very surprisingly sounded like a full range.  Excellent sound.  
When Was The Audio Golden Age?
Technology marches on, sonic improvements across the board. There is no better yesterday period of gear, although there are components that stand the test of time like the Lyra Connoisseur phono stage or the Berning 211/845 amplifier. Kind of like... 
What gear do you want to demo?
@yyzsantabarbara - great choices DIPTYQUE AUDIO - seems like a panel speak but with better bass extension than Maggies PLAYBACK DESIGNS - the Dream DAC might be my end game target, but the new Lampi Poseidon DAC also looks like a fantastic sonic... 
Any recent Shinjitsu owners?
@wolf_garcia  Enjoyed looking at their products. Prices looks very reasonable and if sonics are good, maybe a bargain (so few of those).  Thanks for the info  
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
In a way, this is kind of amusing.   Many chide naysayers as their perception is not universal and get angry if they say we cannot hear what we hear.  Seems like some of these same people are a bit incredulous because the OP didn’t perceive/hear ... 
my own experience with Tekton Design
I suspect a major part of the Tekton animosity was due to one forum member who used to tick off many by their seemingly snide remarks and used to always suggest Tekton as the one size fit all solution. With the exception of their 30k speaker, Tek...
