Buy it enjoy it and a year later you can sell it for a few dollars more than you paid for it  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
Maybe his conscience finally got the best of him. I bought a bunch of his products and none of them worked. I know people are going to jump on me but I can only say what I heard and there was nothing substantial that happened with his products. Hi... 
McIntosh MX-123 8K
I had a model MX 122 and the equalizer worked for two channel as well. I would imagine it still works for the MX 123. Look up the owners manual and the MacIntosh website and it will tell you if I can or not

Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner?
I was told that the manufacturer only supplies a power cord that is good enough to get you started until you can save enough money to buy a better power cord. Does this not hold true for the original cord that goes in the power conditioner? Wouldn... 
Unity in cable manufacturers?
I found it very hard to mix cables. It was like having five different people in my listening room yelling at me…. Hi Sound brighter, no I’m brighter, you suck I’m brighter than you got to be like a fist fight between the brands. It got so bad I co... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
@musicmann1  I hate to say it because the guys at Bricasti were awesome on a service issue I had but , I like the sound of the Rose AK chip better. It sounded more spatial and there was a greater separation between channels. That’s the simplest wa...
