Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Just checking in on this thread because I recently added a center channel speaker to my system.  For the center channel, dialog clarity clarity is of the upmost importance.  I have had Cerious GE cables for my front L/R speakers for several years ... 
Rel T/5i
Since I'm also looking at picking up a T5i, to turn my center channel speaker into a full range speaker, thanks for the nice review!

Man, this is getting tiresome.   
New Rel T5i. Anyone heard them?
Because the center channel, just like the front L/R and surround channels, is a full range channel, and it is independent from the LFE channel.  I like to hear the full frequency range of that channel.The problem comes in particularly with deep ma... 
New Rel T5i. Anyone heard them?
@murphythecatThanks, well that's not good, since I wanted to use the REL's Speakon connection.  I wonder if I could keep the volume on the sub low enough to extend the center speaker's bass just enough.  
New Rel T5i. Anyone heard them?
@murphythecat A question here on the T5i and its ability to blend with speakers. I read your comments on SH forum with the T5i not being able to use with a Harbeth speaker because the crossover on the T5i would not roll off enough below 55Hz. I am...

Why no discussions of Paradigm Persona for Home Theater?
After hearing the Persona at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in September, I would strongly consider them for a home theater setup if I could afford them.  The most important speaker for home theater is the center, and that Persona center speaker is a b... 
Focal Aria 948 Question, No area to demo near me
I would try to get a home demo of the the 948s before purchase. I heard them at a dealer in a pretty decent sized room, and the sound was just too much, seemed like it was overloading the whole room.  I will admit that the room needed treatments, ...

Need Salk/Legacy speaker help/opinions
With the advent of the new Salk SS 9.5, I think that would be the Salk model to consider and compare to the Focus SE.  At RMAF, the 9.5s sounded fantastic on the classical piece they were playing.  I have also heard the Focus SE sound fantastic.  ... 
PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR
Yes, I read the whole thread there, and it doesn't look good.  I recently bought the Stellar Gain Cell DAC/pre-amp, and I'm now wondering if it measures similarly.  My greatest concern is the observation of a lack of bass performance and impact, a... 
Problems with Amazon HD music streaming (HD / UHD icons not showing during playback)
@ sbrownnwIt's not in a menu.  With my Android phone, some album tiles do not have a HD indicator, but when you select an album and it starts playing, then the HD indicator appears.  
Problems with Amazon HD music streaming (HD / UHD icons not showing during playback)
Make sure you select "Unlimited" and not "My Music", in order to see the HD and Ultra HD icons for each track.  
Reasonably priced 15 foot USB cable for laptop to DAC?
I received the Supra USB cable early today.  Wow, what an improvement over the analog cable connection!  Much more clear, better soundstage and imaging, placement of vocals and instruments.  I've been listening to the new Amazon lossless streaming...
