LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers
I doubt it will take very long for you to hear the difference and the improvement. Good luck. 
LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers
Holy Megahertz! These babes are well nigh miraculous, right out of the bag! I attached them to my Magic A3's, which do not have a reputation for lacking resolution or clarity. But with these devices attached, the proverbial window was wiped clean,... 
Cardas Clear Beyond power versus Kimber PK 10 Palladian
I have the Cardas Clear Beyond XL power cord and I also have an older Kimber PK 10 Palladian. You cannot mention the Kimber in the same sentence as the Cardas, the latter is that far superior. One man's opinion after 45+ years in this mania. 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
Audience AU24SX. Don't do anything wrong; clear, natural and balanced. Can't go wrong, and reasonably priced.

What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail?
CEC TL-1X. Gorgeous sound from CD's; beautiful looks; built like a tank. 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
To finish the thought: I run the amp into an Audience AR6T power conditioner. Also run a VTL 7.5iii pre into amp, and PS Audio DSD DAC (w/Bridge II streamer), Bryston BDP-1 digital transport, and Sansui TU-1X tuner into pre. Power cables include E... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I have had my Krell FPB 300cx amp on a rack in my one BR NYC apt. for almost 4 years, without any issues. The important thing is to give it headroom to breathe. Have not had any problems, continues to function perfectly powering my Magico A3's. Neal 
VTL preamps tonality (and vs. PrimaLuna)?
I am the very happy owner of a VTL 7.5iii preamp. I don't think it has it's own sound: what comes out is what goes in. I do not find it adds or detracts warmth from the original. If you have good sources, this pre will disappear for you. Neal 
Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U.
Audience AU24SX Balanced IC's. Use them between VTL 7.5iii preamp and Krell FPB 300cx amp and they are near-perfect. Detailed, full-bodied, natural sounding, don't do anything wrong. And reasonably priced. Can't go wrong.Neal 
Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
I expect there will come a time when Ted cannot keep outdoing himself at this level, but it hasn't happened yet and I hope it doesn't for the foreseeable future! Neal 
Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
All I will say about Windom upgrade is: Holy Algorithms! I have been at this for decades and I rarely have heard such a jump in audikle improvement from anything -- component, playback media or software. It really is magic.  Neal 
... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?
Mikey881,The AQ Hurricane is the high current version so I have not tried it on my DAC yet, but will. Right now it is on my VTL 7.5iii preamp and is both detailed and full-bodied, audibly more so than former LessLoss Reference. I will try the Hurr... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
I recently installed a Bridge II in my PS Audio DSD DAC and signed up for Tidal. To my astonishment, music wirelessly streamed from Tidal (HiFi) to the Bridge II sounded BETTER than the same music streamed to my Bryston BDP-1 with a portable HD wi...
