@czarivey,You wrote “Truth sometimes ugly” How is your personal opinion or preference for an artist translates to Truth? Truth in my mind is a fact or belief that is accepted as true.  
Ethernet Cable
David, If you are referring to connectors, SoTM cable already has those. But the darn cable is quite stiff, nevertheless it is still my reference cable 😄 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
You just keep rolling back here like a bad penny with same old BS 😏 
Diana Krall
I agree, it’s very disappointing to see a well regarded member stoop to this level. 
Ethernet Cable
@david_ten,I have received my Oyaide IS-707 RJ Cable today. Right off the bat, nice build quality, flexible and high quality locking connectors seen only on uber-expensive cables. I will allow burn-in time between now and the weekend before I sit ...

Isn’t Mogami cables designed and marketed for Pro Audio? I certainly don’t want to get into or start a debate on cables used for Pro Audio vs Home HiFi. In same context, I bet @travbrow wouldn’t be able to discern any audible differences between a... 
Diana Krall
+1, @hifiman5,And perhaps the uncontrollable impulse to chime in for the sake of adding number of posts to their credit. All those fans who posted here that Krall CD’s don’t sound as good as her live concert, I urge them to try the XRCD’s. They of... 
Diana Krall
@2chfreak, you have nailed it. Very few artist that has such onstage presence. She was born to play jazz, I have seen her live twice and she absolutely killed it both times with her sultry voice, exquisite piano play and great choice of musician e... 
Verastarr-Grand Illusion
I pretty much own the whole loom of Verastarr Grand Illusion Statement and Signature II cables. The cables are made from their proprietary high purity metal foils both copper and silver. I found their cable ‘sound’ extremely articulate, open, airy... 
which would you choose
Another vote for Bluesound Node 2.   
Ethernet Cable
@david_ten,Thank you for your recommendation on Oyaide Neo Cable. I just ordered the cable from eBay seller, let’s have another shootout 😉 
Newbie needs Streamer Advise
Cause analogs outs from Node 2 will allow you to hear best of both worlds, 16bit/44.1kHz and 24bit/192kHz (MQA). The Node 2 internal DAC and RP-1’s Tube output stage is more than capable of ringing all the fine nuances in high resolution/ redbook ... 
Newbie needs Streamer Advise
Another vote for Bluesound Node2. Use its analog RCA outputs into your Rogue RP1, I think you would appreciate the audio and ease of operation. I am listening to Vault 2 (analog outputs) through my LS28 and it’s very gratifying.And I agree with Ma... 
iFi AC iPurifier
@twoleftears,After spending a weekend with iFi AC iPurifier, I didn’t hear any ‘upgrade’ in terms of lower noise floor in my audio system. The test was conducted with iPurifier plugged into same wall outlet as my QRT system including QBASE8 - MKII... 
Class D options
Another vote for Bel Canto Ref600M. I would steer clear of any UcD Hypex module build amp, especially if you plan to pair them with Ref10. I have heard Mola Mola Kaluga’s and they are quite amazing. You should also consider Merrill’s Veritas mono’s.
