Speaker Cable Recommendation
Also I treated my room with Acoustimac panels and made a world of difference and not expensive at all, one of the cheapest ways for a big difference.   
Speaker Cable Recommendation
For a great value and great sound try Kimber Cables, had them for a few years. Cardas is absolutely outstanding but fairly expensive, my whole loom is now Cardas Clear and very happy with results.   
Help settle a streaming argument!
I can say from my experience upgrading from a Bluesound NodeII to an Aurender streamer there is a big difference in sound quality. This is into my Mark Levinson preamp with excellent built in dac. Bluesound sounded good, Aurender sounds fantastic.   
Ortofon Cadenza Range loading range
I recently purchased the Cadenza Bronze and prefer loading at 66 ohms vs. 100 it was at when first installed. 50 ohms sounds good too.   
Unity in cable manufacturers?
I think you get a trust or comfort factor using a brand you like throughout your system. Except tonearm cable I have all Cardas Clear and love the results.   
Paypal Restrictions and Withholding Funds
I’ve been having the problems with PayPal as osadu. I hate it. Also sold a record cleaning machine on here and unfortunately the cover got broke during shipment and PayPal is refunding buyers whole amount.   
Mark levinson no.532h
I recently upgraded to the Levinson 526 preamo and 534 amp and WOW, what a great sounding combination. Very hard to put into words. The 532H  went down the road to a lucky new owner, it sound fabulous with the 526 pre.   
Sota Sapphire VI Turntables with Origin Live tonearm
Ive been debating between the Pro-ject XPression 10 Evolution, Rega RP10 and the dealer recommended the Sota as better in the $5000 range without cartridge which I have purchased an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze.  Setup is Mark Levinson No.526 preamp, No...

Need help choosing a new DAC
Benchmark dacs sound great and look at used Dacs here on Agon and get a great one for 30-50% off. Mytek, Ayre, Benchmark you cant go wrong. Read Stereophile Dac reviews which will clear things up some.   
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
Went from a very good Benchmark Dac to Mark Levinson preamp with built in Precision Link Dac and wow oh wow the difference from before is amazing. Also a second to the Mytek Manhattan I had for awhile with an Ayre preamp before my dealer sold me t...
