Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
Audiotroy,I currently have a Antipodes DS GT music server that allows me to rip CDs to its harddrive. Would it makes sense to replace my Dave DAC with the Lumin X1,  because I would keep my music server? 
Differences in Audioquest Storm series (Thunder, Tornado, Hurricane)
saleh84,You can temporarily replace the FireBird power cords with stock power cords and put them on your subs.  I've had Thunders, Tornados,  Hurricanes,  and Dragons in my system. I would choose Hurricanes because in my opinion they provide deepe... 
Torus RM20 / BIT20 vs Furman IT reference 20i
mike_in_nc,I've had my RM20 for a couple years. I too found a more relaxing(natural) sound, but also better bass articulation. Although there are no absolutes in Audio, I'm surprised more Audiogon members haven't tried a Torus RM20.

saleh84,Why don't you try your current powercords on your subs?  
It’s that time of year- 2020 audio wish list
To be thankful for what I have.  
Subwoofer Question
I don't believe in absolutes in audio, but I'll provide my opinion. If you don't have room treatment, that's where I recommend you start.  I've owned HSU, Martin Logan Depth i, SVS 15&16 Ultra, JL Audio F110 v2 with the JL Audio CR-1,  JL Audi...

Blumartini,With all due respect to WC that’s just one person’s opinion. I submit his, mine, or anyone else’s opinion isn’t more valuable than the end user. There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences no matter what any of us say. Just becaus... 
What's up with TMR Audio?
A year or so ago I purchased a Monitor Audio plc350 from TMR. I had a problem with the jumper cables and they replaced them with expensive Nordost jumper cables at no additional cost. Story after story, including my own illustrates how committed t...

Contuzzi, When I owned Wilson Audio speakers I argued with people and I was pretty defensive when someone made negative comments about them. Now I don't let other people's opinions affect what I like. Audio is about preferences, not absolutes. I t...

Read Contuzzi post throughout Audiogon...Hypocrisy at its worst! 
Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects
I would try powercords, followed by speaker cables, and finally interconnect cables. All systems are different, that's why I say "try", so your ears can determine the best upgrade. 
30 Amplifiers Totaling $428,740.00 In Search of Audio Nirvana
I had the BHK 300 mono-amps and BHK preamp. I compared them to my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and Corus preamp. I also used the BHK 300s with the Corus.The rest of the system: Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers,  Chord Dave DAC,  Antipodes DS GT mu... 
30 Amplifiers Totaling $428,740.00 In Search of Audio Nirvana
" BHK 300 is amazing and more like Mohamed Ali with substantial power yet more of a dance that is musical and more involving. The sound signature lends itself to a more euphoric and holographic sound as apposed to an in your face forward sound. B... 
Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers?
Go listen to different speakers and amplifiers.  Let your wallet and ears determine what to upgrade, if anything.  I've had the same dilemma, so I started by listening to speakers. Everything I prefer over my current speakers were way out of my pr...
