| Oyaide P004 and C004 plugs +1 on the SonarQuest. I have used both the silver plated copper and pure copper. Listen to Steve. The wiring/cabling is more important than the connectors... | |
| WBT Banana Connectors I have always preferred bananas over spades. AECO make an interesting spade that may be a good low mass option. I remember the years ago loving the heft of an expandable WBT banana. Thought it enhanced the audio performance. Come to realize, ... | |
| WBT Banana Connectors Here are my favorites.....low mass | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp I have to disagree. I’ve been modding/tweaking for many years... I have never heard any audible/musical improvements with any modifications to the power side of any electronics. I have done my mods to simplify the signal flow (removing fuses/swit... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please @asmithkash Keep it simple....Find yourself an all in one streamer/DAC/Amp. All the viable options will connect to your TV (HDMI) including the Rose. You can spin yourself silly trying to find the optimum separates configuration and never be ab... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please Rose RS520. So far the best all in one 2 channel device on the market. I have had the M10, Evo 150, M33... | |
| Problem with my Rose 150 b @gphill I’m sure you have access to their webpage... I’m using an ONTi Cat8 direct connection with no issues. No longer using Roon. Qobuz direct sounds great. | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project @clsidx Yes. I still have some older cable pod binding posts. Used them on some of my first Class D Hypex builds. Need to look at their newer options. I also like the set screw idea. Love to have a solid mechanical connection, and at times, like ... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project @lcherepkai I like the AECOs. They are my reference to date. Seems like the lowest mass connector that I have come across. Built many XLRs using Xhadow, Viborg, Furutech knock offs from eBay, Neutrik. Always searching for the right combo of co... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac reposting here.. I like the Triple C XLRs very much. I believe they out perform my previous OCC builds. Just sensing more clarity, better voicing, overall info that I haven't heard previously with my go to music. This is a 30" ca... | |

| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I received my second GaN1. Hooked it up with my minidsp SHD and have a nice active config with my Camerton/Purifis. I’ll end up tweaking this one also. Not for the potential performance gains, but just like having better conductors, more secure c... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @donnylovely Thx. I always thought better conductors, better connectors and more secure connections make a difference. I really don’t remember how the amp sounded stock. It was good, but sounds really good now. I’ll have the ability to compare whe... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs I figured the the Illumati would be better than stock. Maybe, maybe not. It is a damn skinny wire. Added a couple of pics to my profile. I may try using some Triple C copper as the interconnect. Kinda cool that a $1500 box can have so mu... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs I did swap out the stock coax. Added an AECO RCA and used the Illumati hook up wire. Nice cheap mod and believe it is another improvement. |
