| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Thanks @tubeguy80 I was hoping for Connexa 1 vs MK2 so your input will be great to hear. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Curious if anyone has tried the newer Connexa mk2 Ethernet? I have a few of the Mirus line and am very pleased with the performance. I may want to try the Connexa mk2 from the wall to my switch and move one Mirus to an Apple TV box. | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex Depends on the local code requirements that your HOA is following. In some states, though not common, hollow (metal/Alum) conduit is required to be bent and set, then solid wire fished through. MC flex cables may only be used for certain lengths o... | |
| Speakers That Won't Sound Too Smooth Or Soft with Luxman L-590AXII I had the L-550AXII and own the 595ASE. The 590 and 595 are more alike than different.

It was A/B compared to a highly modifies Orchid with a 7308 CCA tube. The two were more alike than different and felt it would be a sid... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? I guess technically, fall of 1978, Mahogany Rush at a high school sock hop. But the first live convert that really affected me was Chicago at Chicago's Navy Pier in the summer of 1980. | |
| Audio Mirror WAVE DAC k The Wave DAC looks interesting for sure. Hopefully Vlad or an early adopter will chime in. I have the Tubadour VI which is amazing. I sent Vlad my III SE in as a trade up. The VI has all the analog qualities of past AM Dac's with an incredible inf... | |

| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @sadbird If PD Creative supports either 2.1 or 2.5mm DC plugs then perhaps the supplied cable from ZEROZONE will work. It has been a number of years since working with the PD Creative board and perhaps my recollection was off or they are now using... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @nothelle Installed the LHY audio kit, now i understand all the praises of changing the power supply unit out of the bluenode. Give the board some time to burn in. It will improve. Enjoy! |
