Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
Nerve Audio cables are about $100/meter. Very well made and excellent conductors.Rollin 
The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste
@geofkaitWhy do I care if you think my system sounds good. As long as I am pleased with it your opinion does not matter to me.It is there to please me not you.Rollin

@clearthink@wynpalmer4 is simply explaining in technical terms that most trained people use, but will be foreign to the lay person.

@wynpalmer4Your going too fast. People can’t Google to understand your terms that quickly :)

@wynpalmer4 Bravo! I come from the IT engineering profession as well. I have that Amazon USB cable on my high-end system and it sounds stellar. I’ve tried several different cables, just to prove the theory, and there is no difference. If the DAC i... 
The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
I have a 10X10.5X8 room for my ATC SCM-19's. I listen near field, an ideal listening location for a small room with monitors. If you set your room up right and have the power the drive the ATCs you'll be very happy. Rollin 
PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel
  @mickeyb Sell it now. Seems everyone else is. You see how many are for sale? Yeah, check out the prices. If you find a good one it's only $1000-$1500 below list. Most used equipment goes for 50% or less. The Dialogue Premium series has been sup... 
Icon Audio or PrimaLuna?
For my two cents, you cannot go wrong with the Prima Luna Dialogue Premiums. I have both the Pre-amp and two HPs as mono blocks. I'm a big fan. I have tried a few others, that shall remain unnamed, and none sound as good as what I am listening to ... 
Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp
I am driving 85 dB sensitivity speakers with 200 WPC of pure analogue tube power using 8 KT150s. I can drive these to 98dBA spl with little effort and NO clipping and more to go. It sounds better than the comparable powered SS amp that I replac... 
Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500
I would be careful of a Rogue. They are known to be hard on tubes. The Prima Luna will last much, much longer before needing tube replacement.Rollin 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
The Kirmuss appears to do a better job than the Audio Desk or Clearaudio cleaners at less cost. If you have some really nasty vinyl or lacquer it will do nicely at a lower initial purchase price. The process is more painstaking than mine and I spe... 
Anybody have experience with Vinyl Me Pllease or is that on the for pay forum?
I’ve since quit using it. They didn’t bother to send me my January selection. I bitched and got a refund, but they would have kept my money and never said anything.DO NOT USE Vinyl Me PleaseRollin 
Anybody have experience with Vinyl Me Pllease or is that on the for pay forum?
Better late than never. Reverb LP is like any other used record store online. There are dozens. You can find them on Discogs, Allmusic and Ebay.Rollin 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
@flescherI wouldn't hesitate you use a Sugar Cube on an old 78. Or if you have a damaged LP that is rare and unobtainable (cost or availability) on the used market, it would be good to be able to listen to that LP. I think the device is meant... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
I didn't say it before, but I only clean once upon acquisition of the record. After that it's a dust brush and Talisman until it is just too dusty. Then, a rinse with Regents water and the conditioner, let dry after vacuuming for about ten minutes...
