Streaming vs Physical Media
@mdonda As many above reported, streaming sound quality is now on par with CD playback and CD rips. Instead of investing into a CD player, I would explore ways to improve your streaming experience (if you haven’t already done so). One of the way...

Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner?
“Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner?” In my experience, Yes! I had some highly rated power conditioners through my system (Audience, Nordost and Shunyata) and they all added some sort of coloration. AQ Niagara 7000 was th...
