Have you tried their power cords?  
Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables
So, how do these cables sound? Are they truly mid-range centric with a more golden tone ( as suggested by some)?  
Duelund speaker cable
Good day, Are the Dueland speaker cables offered with attached connectors?  Or are they purely offered as cables without connectors? Thanks  
Leben CS 600 ( Dumper tube ) Tube rolling
So, I realized in my "box" of tubes, I did have a RCA NOS 6CJ3 hanging around. I tried it in place of my stock Sylvania and did notice a difference in tone.  The RCA was in fact a touch warmer and more melodic. Interesting for sure.   I have pr...

Toslink

Toslink

Have you received your new DAC yet? I wonder how the Baltic 4.1 compares the internal Synthesis DAC?  
Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets?
