@amp18Long time since this discussion! But I appreciate your asking. I ended up with that Creek Evolution 50A that I was considering at that time. Seller gave me a great deal on it, and it was absolutely pristine. I still have it and love it, and ... 
Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?
Not that it would directly pertain to your situation, but simply improving the jumper situation can have a noticeable improvement...or change, rather. I say this for perspective, as I would not conceive of going to the trouble of changing a crosso... 
Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them?
@ranjan29That’s entirely encouraging...and does speak to their entire line I would think. Looks like you may be leaning toward those 502sp’s? :) 
Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them?
@mulvelingHadn’t considered the trademark dual-concentric Tannoy driver design present in the higher levels...good point. I don’t know if I could justify the 502’s floorstanders from a budgetary standpoint. Too many things that must be done to our... 
Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them?
Ranjan,Not at all, and thank you for responding! I really appreciate it. I would guess safe to ascertain that the 302’s might follow suit in that high-quality and performance for the price observation you’ve made.Very curious about your findings w... 
The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it?
Hi,Cheapo guy here...but even with a couple of stages of de-jitter, using an Allo Digione going to a Schiit Modi Uber, you can hear the difference between redbook and high res. But the red book sounds so good anyway, that your ears adjust to the d... 
New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
Don’t know if anyone here has mentioned any of the variety of Denafrips r2r dacs, but I’m considering the Ares II. Many seem to share that it hits way above its class, provides both an nos and oversampling mode, and manages better detail and truen... 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
What about a Musical Paradise?http://www.musicalparadise.ca/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=97It was reviewed to hit well above its class...Thomas and Stereo gave a fairly comprehensive review on one of these (actu... 
Crazy cheapo tweaks and impressive SQ hacking
Exactly...there comes a point of diminishing returns. A very expensive setup will require an expensive room to elicit any and all benefits derived from said gear. It takes some experimentation, knowledge-seeking, love for the music, some understan...

@twochAlthough I’m primarily operating through storage and playing CD’s, I was also looking into an internet switch to see what gains could also be made there, as I do stream a bit through the RPI Allo board.Is $400 really the cheapest way to go? ...

Lol!!!@jetter For the win...Hilarious and on point...not to mention still applicable/functional tweaks all around (that last link was my favorite).

This is some quantum-freaky stuff! Wish I had more time to experiment in full...but you guys have set some very interesting parameters for controlled variables.

Lol!!Looks like you two must go way back. I very much appreciate your recommendations. Physicists have been operating on the principle of vibrations as the reason for our very existence for some time now.Stands clearly to reason that the very thin...

@millercarbon @geoffkait Very interesting..i think I’ve seen similar suggestions on other threads...time to try what you’re saying. Hopefully without my wife thinking I’ve gone completely nuts ;)I have already set up an an array of adhesive backed... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
I’m thoroughly convinced that there arrives a point of diminishing returns, to an even exponential degree. It’s relative to your budget and level of control over a space, I suppose? But in my humble setup ....after getting all my interconnects up ...
