Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC
I thought my chord qutest is warm and want to hear the tube prima luna as i have their amp and love it.   
Linear Power supplies for DACs...?
chord insists not but i agree with you gents, i added a LPS to an old 2Qute dac and was improvement.  I have the qutest now also, small green good?  others?   would like to keep it under 200.   thanks  
Power Conditioner, which of these 4 and why?
Thanks all for input.  I bought the Shunyata listed above.  To Tuberist: re: PL integrated with the triton 1r.  The amp and speakers not broken in yet, but a match made in heaven.   The mids/highs are way better and more defined than i thought wou...

Primaluna evo300

Tekton Double Impacts
This brand seems very intriguing, wish a way to hear without shipping such a large object.  Currently have Acoustic Zen Adagio.  Might be off topic but as opposed to DI, how bout Electron SE for 1k more.  Kinda like the smaller mid-tower.   Though... 
new york city audio show 2018
I went.  I think the Park Lane is a horrible venue, tight rooms, tight hallways.  More "new" brands trying to establish themselves.  I personally was not that impressed by more than half the rooms.  And, prices seem to have skyrocketed!    One ven... 
Power Cord suggestion please
Thanks for the advice here.  I DO believe power cords make a difference, have done some a/b testing.  Granted not huge, which is why i want to keep to the "budget" ideas.  As far as the persons "shilling" for Cullen, i did not take it that way at ...
