To Roon or not to Roon?
I use my Aries wireless. Yes I use Wifi. I’m hesitant about Roon because of the way it knocked my Auralic and app out of whack. 
Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer?
I have option for a deal on the Keces. Is it a good conditioner? 
Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer?
The reason I am considering the Keces BP5000 is that despite my Hydras which help I notice fluctuations in ac quality which have my system sounding better or worse depending on ac quality variations. 
Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame?
The internal cables were  upgraded to Cardas Litz when I redid the crossovers and replaced the tweeters with Seas Millennium tweeters. As I listen to them now I prefer them to my Focal Utopia and Audeze LCD4 headphones with Moon 430ha headphone am...

Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame?
I suppose one man’s endgame is another man’s entry level. 
X250.5 vs X250.8
I’ve been listening to my new XP-32 for hours now and it keeps sounding better as it is warming up. At 3 in the morning I am listening to my headphones which I did not expect to sound this much better but they do. The X1 is a good preamp but the X... 
X250.5 vs X250.8
Tomorrow I expect my new XP-32 preamp and in a couple of weeks I expect my new X250.8. It’s funny but as I wait my new electronics my X1 and X250.5 combo have been sounding very good. I’ve actually been loosing sleep from excitement. In these craz... 
Looking For Best Headphones
What ever phones and amp you choose remember that the cables from the wall to your phones and everything in between are extremely important. One bottle neck inferior cable can ruin a potentially awesome system. For me it was a good digital cable b... 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
I’ve completely lost the itch to upgrade my tuner since I’ve upgraded my tubes and power cable. With the power cable and tubes upgrade my tuner sounds glorious. I’ve been listening to my tuner only for a couple of days. 
Audio Art Statement 1 power cables?
I’ve used many high end power cables ranging from $1000 to $1500 or more and the Audio Art e2plus power cables are the best I’ve used. The Audio Art Statement  signal and speaker cables are quite a bit better than the Cardas Golden Reference cable... 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
I’ve been playing with tubes and find my MD106T tuner to be quite nice. I just put in a pair of Siemens gold pins and the sparkle is nice. The Amperex Orange tubes are also quite nice. The Siemens may be nicer but more expensive. 
Audio Art Statement 1 power cables?
Fast forward five and a half years and I’m using Audio Art Statement e2plus power cables on all of my components. In fact I was so impressed with the new top of the line Statement power cables that I recabled my entire system interconnects and spe... 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
Commercials and talk are part of the Dxing experience for me. I am enjoying my tuner again. It is actually quite nice. 
What about the Hales Transcendence 5's
17 years  since I started this post and I’m still loving these speakers! I have now had them for 21 years and they are playing strong. I have no plans to replace them. I’ve changed everything else in my system since I started this post but the Hal...
