Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
I've owned the DSD, Bricasti M1, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and now the Chord Dave DAC. In my "opinion" none of them sound good direct...the soundstage collapses and dynamics are lost. 
Dan D'Agostino Helius dual monoblocks, 1500w @ 8ohms
I agree, 10x higher price for 10% greater quality or maybe less. If the buyer thoroughly enjoys it, it’s priceless.

I really love the high-end and I'm not being facetious. So much of it just cost so much money. If I had the money I would love to listen to the ultra expensive stuff and let my ears decide. I'm a firm believer that incremental improvements cost so... 
Upgrade the projector or projector screen?
My 13 year old son said he could see the pixels when we had the Epson 5030, but the picture is noticeably sharper with the 6040.

Audioquest Rocket 44 speaker cable. Any good??
213runnin,All of my cables used to be Wireworld. I have replaced my WW cables with Audioquest and couldn’t be happier. 
Upgrade the projector or projector screen?
I just went from Epson 5030ub to the Epson 6040ub. In my humble opinion the 6040ub has a better picture and I'm happy I changed. That being said, I'm a novice when it comes to projectors.  
How good are Shunyata power cords??
Try to get a home audition of Audioquest Hurricane or Tornado power cords. The best I've ever had in my system. Opened, detailed, and very musical in my system.  
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
After a long talk with Audioquest, I decided to order another Hurricane in lieu of the Dragon. If I had the money I would have purchased five Dragon power cords, but I submit four Hurricanes and one Tornado is a good compromise. I pray that I’m done! 
Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000
Maybe some think made in or assembled in China some how makes the component inferior to components made in the USA?  
Torus or Furman power conditioners which is better?
Sorry I can't answer your question directly.  I will say I went from the Torus RM15 to the RM20.  I submit it should be very easy to hear the differences between the two, with the RM20 providing a more natural,  dynamic sound.  
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
I decided to borrow another Audioquest Tornado to go from my preamp to the power conditioner. I didn't expect much, because I already have three Audioquest cords, but I was wrong. So wrong, I decided to purchase one 15 amp Dragon source power cord... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
hicr49, To be honest I didn't have the opportunity to compare the Hurricane, Tornado, and Thunder to each other. 
What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater?
My experience suggest that it's very important to match the center channel to the fronts. I went from the Monitor Audio PLC150, to a Gold C350, to a PLC350. I have Monitor Audio PL500s as my fronts and it just didn't sound good with the PLC150 and... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
So, I ordered two Hurricane power cords and one Tornado. I have one Hurricane going from my amp to the power conditioner and one from the power conditioner to the wall(Shunyata outlet). I use the Tornado on my DAC. I want to be as succinct as poss...
