New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
As usual, nothing useful from GK. Can I save the $10 and get a free sample like you? I’m sure you are getting your money's worth there.OP just digging the TC karma. What else is needed?

So Geoffkait, in your scientific estimation then, is there actually intact one atom thick sheets of Graphene in there somehow that survive when shmeared and connections then made or something else, some other form of carbon perhaps? If Graphene, h...

Did everyone vouching for this product pay full $299 list price, no subsidies or free samples?  
Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday...
Its true does not cost much for good portable  sound these days.  A decent smartphone and a pair of $99 Grado headphones will be all most ever need.  Add a good quality amp/DAC and you are really in business.  Lots of tough competition for Oppo th...

Mogami wire quality?
Mogami is a very sound choice for premium wires. Very high quality products that work and sound great. Only an audiophile could find fault. Not that all wires necessarily sound the same by any stretch.

One indisputable fact for sure is you change a fuse and you also change the connection. No way to get around that one! Everyone knows connections do matter. Right? How do you get around that one in order to be sure its the fuse and not just the co... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
I've found the Dynaudios can sound a tad hot in some setups, but not with the C5i.   How do the ELACs compare to ATC SCM 19? 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
