| What Was Your Favorite “Game Changer” Moment? Running Springs Dmitri power conditioner about 15 years ago. I had never experienced what lowering noise floor was truly about until this purchase. The black space around each instrument was a game changer. If the music stopped for a split second ... | |

| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it's only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it. | |
| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Thanks, I'll let them run a few weeks and try them again. I've got ask how do you know which direction to break them in, there's no arrow. I just ran them in direction of the writing toward the speaker if that really matters. | |

| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... jl1ny, looking at the dates of your post you have less than 2 weeks on your cables. Personally I wouldn't even listen to them for another 2 to 3 weeks just run them 24/7 on another system or rig a system in the garage and forget about them for a w... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? I was really surprised how dacs respond to better feet. If you want to try to squeeze a little more resolution out of your node give it a try. I know my CD player benefits due to the transport but had no idea how big of an improvement some fairly ... | |
