muralman1 - where are you?
Looks like his last posts were from 2011. Maybe he got bored and left. 
Question about DSD DACs
Of the 2 DACs you mention, only the Bryston BDA-3 can accept DSD via HDMI. The PS DAC has I2S and not HDMI, which is a totally different PIN configuration.So if you use HDMI or a HDMI to I2S, you will actually be hearing DSD without PCM conversion... 
Listen...chair
I purchased the Kendall chair from World Market. I would rather not have leather since it bounces sound. Also this chair has a low back and nothing behind your ears.http://www.worldmarket.com/product/chocolate+brown+velvet+kendall+chair.do?&fr...

Second the Clear Day ICs that Paul makes. I found them pretty transparent. 
Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen
arafiq,I have a Cullen Power Cord, Cross Over series, but customized for 10AWG for my Parasound A21. 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
wideload,I am with you on the front wall. My loudspeakers are 5 feet from front wall. And 38% would roughly mean 7 feet from front wall. I am not sure if that would be ideal for the listening position, since I would only be 2 feet away from them. 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
wideload,Thanks for your kind words. I am sure your room is so similar!BTW,  your statement - Have you tried moving your listening position 38% from front wall as the folks at GIK suggest? - did you mean back wall? Can you please explain?Thanks! 
Leonard Cohen...RIP....
What a sad day. R.I.P. 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
Hi wideload, I have a similar room size and I also do have GIKs in my system. Check out my primary system page for what I have done. And the best part is - I also have a single chair in my room - no furniture. I would love to see your system pic, ... 
Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen
arafiq,I strongly the 4-wire jumpers. My speaker wire config is exactly like yours. 
The dumbest stereo experience ever!
He is probably a hypnotist, but calls himself a doctor. Every time he watches the reels go around, he gets hypnotized, goes out and buys a open reel deck. 
Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen
And what is keeping you guys from ordering a free demo set from Paul at Clear Day? All you'll pay is return shipping - which should be less than $10. 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
OP,In response to your original question, I am not going to say whether a cable should make your system warm or cold or clinical anything else. If anything, it should make your system more musical and make you want to listen to more music.I heard ... 
focal 1038 be or sonus faber olympica
Which Olympica? I have listened to the Olympica III and the Focal 1008Be, but at different dealers. The Focals were really good, with some Naim amp/electronics. The Olympicas were with Devialet 200. I liked the way the Focals played. Awesome imagi... 
Norah Jones
Listening to the album again tonight and instead of focusing on the music, I was focusing on the recording. Yes, wolf_garcia, it does sound darker than her previous recordings. But it is nowhere as dark as the "Rising Sand" album from Robert Plant...
