Anyone heard the Canary Audio M-350 300b amps???
Bopper Canary Audio has very well made and good sounding products. I don’t think you can go wrong with the M350 amps. I have quite a few amps but recently I got a deal on a Canary Audio M90 that I enjoy much more than the First Watt Sit 3 that all... 
Perfect Path Technologies confusion
+1 for Stereo 5. I have a lot of small companies as clients and it is a struggle for many of them to make ends meet. A negative word in the community can have devastating results for them. Audigon is a community. Having said that, I use the Audiog... 
Wolf Audio
I cannot comment on the Alpha 3 SX but as good as the Alpha 2 was compared to my custom laptop the Alpha 3 was a definite step up from the 2 especially the USB playback with the addition of the flux capacitor. The Red Wolf 2 continues that traditi... 
Canary Audio Tube amps
I have a few amps but I got a deal on a Canary Audio M90 and I am very impressed with it . The build and sound quality are top shelf. I currently have the following amps besides the M90 in my system and the Canary more than holds it own: Odyssey A... 
Had anybody listened to JTR speakers?
Interesting but you definitely need to hear them before buying as I didn’t see anything on their website about an in home audition. If you do get a chance to listen to a pair please post your impressions.

Audio hobby is like tasting wine.
Unfortunately I am an audiophile who loves wine much to the chagrin of my bank account. Shkong78 you are correct that there are a lot of similarities between wine lovers and connoisseurs as well as stereo gear and the wine itself. The main differe... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
For those wondering about using a generator to power their system. I have done it but not on a voluntary basis. We have several power outages every year so I have a whole house generator. During one extended outage a friend and I listened to my sy... 
Who remembers audio from the time when ...
I had an uncle in the late 50’s who had a part time job changing the records in jukeboxes and he would give the replaced 45’s to my sister and I . Since my sister wasn’t into music they were essentially mine. Even on my lofi record player you coul...

Amazon just killed Tidal
Thanks Don _c55 . I contacted Joseph Parvey of Wolf Audio to see if his streamer/servers would support it . He not only said yes ,he remotely installed it and set it up for me. Talk about customer service! 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
My Gate arrived today and I installed it. I will give it a couple of days before I listen to it and in a couple of weeks I will post my thoughts. 
Voodoo Power Cords
@woogie59 I think the Air Spectra is the sweet spot in the Voodoo lineup as you get the most performance for your dollar. I wouldn’t want to put a percentage on the improvement but as good as I found the Electra to be especially for my Wolf Audio ...
