Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources
Nice @hilde45, your link is to a post by Elizabeth. I haven’t seen anything from her in quite some time. I hope she is well. To the OP, if you want to do something without going down a rabbit hole, I agree the Pangea cords should work well. OFC c... 
Whats playing on your system today?

Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
If still looking, amps I always wanted to try but never did are the Gato PWR-222 monoblocks - 250wpc.  They also offer a variety of integrated amplifiers from 150-250wpc.  
Thumper’s Mother
Unfortunately, the slurs and name-calling are so repetitive they have become boring. People who can never agree to disagree should at least get some new material to keep things entertaining.  
Free Tip for Jumpers
This thread sent me on a trip to the way-back machine where I remembered this very subject being discussed over on AA. This 22-year old thread recommends the positive wire to the MF/HF terminal and the negative to the LF terminal, and also provid... 
Morrow Audio Speaker Cables
@tubeguy80 I will say I don’t care for their XLR cables, due to most of them using the same relatively basic Neutrik connectors. I have made many XlR cables using Furutech FP-601/602 connectors yet am surprised by the number of very expensive... 
EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them?
Here is a link explaining RC filters, as used in the Walker links. BITD (early to late 2000's) there used to be quite a bit of DIY-type discussion over on Audio Asylum with some fairly knowledgeable people.  It was a good place/time to learn some... 
Aerial Speakers
As an aside, wonder why I don’t see more Aerial presence at shows and more advertising. I cannot answer you specific question but I can add that Aerial Acoustics is alive and well, although they did recently move their offices. Michael Kelly st... 
Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?
Interesting responses here, and probably no one correct answer for all situations. Today’s digital front end equipment has been changing and improving rapidly compared to speaker and amplifier technology. Just look at the number of new digital fro... 
Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?
To me, the source is somewhat discrete relative to the rest of the system. A crappy source will sound crappy with whatever follows. However, the speaker/amplifier relationship is much more symbiotic, as several here have said. I believe somebody m... 
EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them?
Just made a pair of RC filters.  10 ohms resistors and .01uF caps connected in series.  Duelund Silver/Graphite resistors, Duelund pure copper foil caps, Mundorf banana plugs, and Jupiter Condenser Co. solid copper leads, for a total of $80/pair. ... 
looking for a recommendation on adjustable height metal speaker spikes
Sound Anchors stands/racks for speakers, amps, and electronics come with a very simple threaded spike that can be locked in place with a nut once an appropriate position or height is established. These are essentially threaded ramset anchors with ... 
Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables
The OP is already using 10 awg stranded copper speaker cables, which is plenty big for the run length.  Other than a few posters suggesting Canare 4S11, just about every poster has given a different cable recommendation.  BTW, 4S11 is actually a s... 
seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers?
I am not able to offer a reliable response to your question since my experience is so different.  My stand mounted speakers weigh 105 lbs each so much heavier and they are actually bolted to a steel plate that is also bolted to the underlying 75 p... 
Mojo Audio - Mystique Y NC DAC
This should be a fun thread, since I purchased an X SE with AD1862N-Z chips and Nano Crystal Chokes just a few weeks ago and I am currently comparing it with my EVO Pro that also has AD1862N-Z chips. I previously owned a regular X SE (non Z, non ...
