I wish the Dallas Audio Show was bigger and wonder why it isn't?

REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
It's hard without knowing your room's dimensions, but here's my opinion based on your speakers. I would get dual REL No. 31 or No. 32 subwoofers. I owned Carbon Specials, but the passive radiator drove me crazy. I also owned REL G1 mkIIs and now R... 
All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?!
I have Monitor Audio speakers. Although I don't like the looks of the Concept 50s, I would love to hear them.  
UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable
There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I had a home audition of one of the companies speaker cables that uses rectangular copper. The company has been mentioned in this thread. I didn't like it in my system...they weren't as dimensiona... 
New FARAD Level 2 Silver Mod for Chord DAVE!

REL Carbon Special in the house!

I sent you a PM.

Chord Dave and lInear power supply
nkj, As an owner of a Dave, what does "Really transformational" mean? What exactly does the Farad improve...detail, dynamics, resolution, bass articulation, etc?    
Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB
I've owned a Audioquest Diamond, WW Platinum series 7 & 8. I directly compared the Shunyata Omega and WW Platinum series 8 USB cables to the Infigo USB cable. In my system the Infigo USB cable is more open, detailed, and natural sounding.
