Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
From my listening, audiophile were better than stock cords. Not hard since most stock cords are barely there anyway!  Super high-end cords didn't make much  difference as the power source is already so clean, obviously everything counts but what I...

@frostdotcom Are you referring to a different thread? Maybe you skipped pages from something you were reading elsewhere? 
AC Power Question
Forget dedicated lines and simply get  Goal Zero Yeti lithium power station - anywhere from 1000w to 3000w depending on your needs.  The cleanest power.No need for fancy conditioners, cables or anyting.Simply  
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
It all depends on your amp and systems power requirements - simply add the power draw wattage of each component and match to the next level up Yeti, they go all the way up to 3000W, that's enough for all bar the most power hungry monster amps. For... 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
It's a bigger across the board improvement than anything I've ever done, other than a significantly more expensive amp or speakers.  No cable or conditioner comes close and best of all you don't need either.With the lithium power pack you aren't e... 
Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017
I've not tried Transparent, though the store I bought them from raved about them with TA Reference XL.My buddy has Gryphon Diablo 300 and Audio Physic Avantera III and the step from Morrow SP7 speaker cables to Transparent Reference XL was giganti... 
One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever?
Devialet D1000 - done and done.  Anbout as future proof as can be.That being said, extensive first hand experience with Devialet and Gryphon suggest the Diablo would be a wrong choice either so long as you go with the Kallisto designed Gryphon DAC... 
Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's
Gryphon Diablo 300.Nothing like it. So far, one of the very best I've ever heard and absolutely reasonable price for the level of performance.  Least of all for being a true all in one.If it's heading off into Porsche 911 money then it's a no cont... 
Nordost vs Synergistic Research
You'll probably find that Triode Wire Labs have exactly what you need - and they'll fit the right connector to go under the Devialet rear panel.Or spend a LOT more for the SR Devialet specific cable. 
Devialet sound signature
invictus005 couldn't agree more.  I've heard more than my fair share in 40 years of addiction!  The only comparison's are with 100k separates from the like of Solution or Boulder.  Nothing with tubes comes close to the transparency. If you want to... 
Focal sopra 3 better than scala utopia v2 I heard.
I've not heard the Sopra 3 but in a direct comparison between Sopra 2 and Scala V2 the Scala was head and shoulders better in every respect.  Double the price yes but HUGE performance jump. Refinement, resolution and transparency, soundstage image... 
Need power amp recommendations for system
PSA Stereo or better go for the monos - synergy will be a given. Great performance.Gonna need the P20 power regenerator while you're spending ;-) 
Devialet sound signature
Having owned a Devialet based system for some while now I can tell you there are significant improvements in each software upgrade - all good.  The latest easily bests all before.  All for free!Upgrading the power cable make a significant improvem... 
Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2
Focal loves Devialet - if you've the budget the D400/D440 is the sweet spot.  You wont find better without spending $$$Go with good cables - copper.  You'll want something full bodied without giving up the resolution.  Try the new Lessloss C-Marc ... 
What's Next
I’d suggest a lengthy listen to some Focal Utopias - now the Evo range is out there will be some great buys on Scala V2 and Maestro.Magico Q3 if you like resolution, S3/5 is you want more full.KEF Reference are a little rolled off, Blades marginal...
