Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
I used my DVD player for the first time in awhile yesterday. Picture was not good. Turns out it was a bad contact with the video wire. I unplugged the connection and reconnected it firmly. Picture is beautiful. Lush colors and crystal clear. Best ... 
Love it when it snows
Things outside do tend to be quieter when it snows. Does that make a hifi sound better? Well it might produce a lower noise floor in the room in some cases and that might help. Also snow days tend to be a vacation from normal life and that also co...

+1 @onhwy61”I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some of the most ardent proponents of tweaks on this site have trouble with mainstream scientific thought.“ 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review

Sounds like Millercarbon is a fan of selective science that supports his views, knows the effects of carbon dioxide by whatever means it gets there and is admitting Global Warming is real, but does not think it so bad if you are a 500 million year...

Moving up from a Node 2i
I never said it can't make a difference just that I have not heard a significant difference so far whereas no two DACs I hear sound the same. It certainly can sound different, especially if a device is poorly designed or not in good working order....

"Temperature is a parameter that is fundamental to the physics of transistors, analog and digital integrated circuits, and other semiconductor devices. Consequently their behavior varies significantly as a function of temperature, and a competent ... 
Moving up from a Node 2i
I doubt changing from that to any other good quality streamer alone will make much if any difference in sound streaming at the same (CD) resolution. The dac used is the key. I would not change streamers unless another had unique features that appe... 
Ohm Super Sound Cylinder SSC-4900 initial thoughts kinda review
There is a lot to take in with the Ohms. Many details to focus on as desired. But they are not overly bright nor tipped up in regards to air normally plus roomacoustics and gear upstream play a big role. Plus the resulting sound will respond to mo...
