Yes, the clock is to improve on the EtherRegen clock. I bought the AfterDark clock that is supposed to mate well with the EtherRegen, I think it is called the Queen. If you buy the AfterDark power supply for the clock it has 2 power outputs, one f...

Everything Does Seem To Matter
Thanks for sharing that Frank. It is funny that we spend so much money on auxiliary things but overlook the most critical connection.That being said, I think that most cable manufactures try to support their design with the proper connector.At l... 
Everything Does Seem To Matter
Thank you all for the comments thus far. At this time, I am only using the WBT Ag spades at the speaker end and the WBT Cu at the amp end. I have ordered 4 more of the 0681 Ag for the amp end.After careful review (with a magnifying glass), I can’t... 
Music Direct and my recent exoeriences

High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted
