| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? @snsYes, someone has seen this, and thank you for writing about the new 005 DAC. I think I've read all the printed material about it though, as you know, very little has been written by anyone who has heard it. As with the 004 it probably has it... | |

| Some Evidence of USB Cable Sound There are very good reasons that USB cables will sound different, one from another. This video seem to demonstrate that clearly. I don’t think, though, that the reasons were fully explained here. The main reason is that the signal going through th... | |
| Audio Art Statement 1 power cables? If you are up to attaching plugs to cables yourself, some here have found Viborg VP1606 5N OFC RISR 6 Square AC Power Cable to be inexpensive and outstanding. Because of its gauge (about 9.5 AWG) it’s not easy to work with, but well worth the effo... | |

| Bach Recording Recommendations For the Brandenburg Concertos I'd recommend the Dunedin Consort on a Linn Records SACD. Great performance and great sound. | |
| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? @schubert Please share. Which halls are these?In New York the worst hall is Philharmonic Hall. No one has ever said anything good about it. They have redone it at least 4 times, never with much success. They had recently planned to do a total... | |
| Square purchases music streaming service Tidal Apparently Tidal is losing money, as are many of the streaming services. Can this go on for very much longer? | |
| Recommendations for 3rd party power supply for Chord 2qute? You probably cannot do better than a 12V SBooster. That being said there are many less expensive 12V LPS units available through eBay and elsewhere. A search on the forums will get you a list of those that have been used with success. As for "c... | |
