Power cord upgrade
I believe the naysayers systems just are not resolving enough to hear the differences. I know I started out that way. Proof was in the pudding once I made a major jump in equipment. @1971gto455ho  @jasonbourne71  @classicrockfan  You guys re...

Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
@nutty  @treitz3  What were your previous cables?   
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
Could it be that the DAC in the streamer is better than what you used when using a computer as file source? So what you are hearing is not computer vs streamer, but different DACs. I’m not going to say this is total garbage , but it indicates v... 
Power cord upgrade
@zlone If one simply wants the cheapest OCC cable, look no further than Audio Sensibility. You can get an OCC power cable for half that amount. This is in CDN dollars.  Steven Huang owner of AS was a family friend of Dr. Ohno.   
Power cord upgrade
@skids  Certain brands come up more frequently, such as AQ and Transparent, and I like that for a good starting platform.   After trying a few others I wouldn't be surprised if you prefer the Shunyata V14 NR cord you have on the Aurender now, ... 
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
Oh boy, you have some research to do. Yes, I used a macbook years ago, and it was trounced by an audiophile streamer/player. I have since upgraded my audiophile streamer/player to a better audiophile streamer/player and music sounds even more nat... 
Gold coated brass speaker spades
$100...200 per pair of (*fake) Siltech were too pricey and unnecessary. I use mostly studio grade wires that are a lot cheaper than home-audiophile grades and a lot more sincere. Well, there it is. Why pay anymore when $20 cables conduct electr... 
Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review
@classicrockfan I am well aware you flat-earthers think you can pull out a glorified multi-meter and take 3 simple parameters of a piece of copper and think you know what it sounds like, but you are all wrong. Oh wait, you think they all sound t... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
@arafiq  just caught this thread- how you gettin on with these? The Cardas setup for dipoles is a good starting point, George has had the 3 series for many years.  Try the Limage setup and see if you like that: https://www.audioasylum.com/messa... 
Six DAC Comparison
Not interested in any of these DAC’s, as I am happy with mine, but really admire and appreciate your obviously many hours of hard work (and fun?) in comparing these units @mitch2 .  
Power cord upgrade
@zlone I know the Puritans take about two weeks to break in, but after five days of painful listening with terrible, etched highs, I had to swap out the cord for 20A Shunyata I had laying around. This quickly resolved that problem Interesting... 
dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC
@jymc but given this: You are well aware of the role "synergy" plays in a particular system of assembled components, not to mention the effect of the room itself. why would this matter? Buy a couple of plane tickets if necessary and audition... 
dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC
After almost a years time the OP most certainly made a choice- @seadog137 what was your verdict?
