Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
I am also blown away with the difference digital cables make. I just swapped a USB cable from a SSD to my streamer and was gobsmacked.   Well, looks like I may be in for a treat. Just ordered the Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB..    
Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins?
Good diffusers will be much more effective than bookshelves by producing a 3-dimensional airy sound in the midrange and treble. That’s the main difference when introducing diffusion in the room. Sound-wise diffusers will win. Practicality and aes... 
Wireworld Electra 7
Jafant, Silver Electra 7 en route. I'll only have the time to listen by end of next week though.      
Wireworld Electra 7
Thanks Jafant. Your response is much appreciated.  
Wireworld Electra 7
Hi Jafant, did you compare the Silver Electra 7 to the Electra 7? I currently have the Electra 7 and am not sure if the Silver Electra 7 will sound smoother with more illuminated treble and better defined bass. I will be using it on the DAC. Thanks.  
Wireworld Electra 7
It's moderately good for source components, not good for amps particularly high current ones. I would say worth a try.  
B&W 705 Signature Feedback ?
Marten Duke 2 is very revealing and requires proper amp matching. I’m not sure if the Rotel will match well. If there’s brightness or glare in the treble with the amp, the speaker will reveal it. Other speakers may not reveal the character and thi... 
What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?
I am equally interested in this. Similarly I am a firm believer of power cords. I have good cords on my equipment. The power cord that’s connected to the DAC in my system is actually more costly than the DAC, as crazy as it may sound. The current... 
Sub Confusion
To be frank, looks are important to me and the REL looks business. The REL made other subs look cheap in comparison although I understand it’s the sound that matters. To me both are equally important, and the REL does not disappoint when it comes ... 
CHORD ELECTRONICS DAC
Chord QBD76 with a good power cord. An extended and tubelike treble. 3-dimensional soundstage with good separation and detail. I find the micro detail of the Chord to be excellent as you hear all the nuances in the music. With other DACs some of ... 
Pass Labs INT-25 Integrated amp paired with Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers
Akg_ca, good post. Just an observation. I think the Rega Osiris is 56 lbs, not 62 lbs. Apart from looking at the power output at both 4 ohms and 8 ohms, I also look at the weight of the amp especially with Class A and AB. The heavier amps general... 
2 x Rel S/812 or Singel No 25
   Single REL No. 25 as above.  
What speakers are you using with Luxman class A?
Good information kren0006.  
What speakers are you using with Luxman class A?
Brianmgrarcom 23-05-2013 I have used my 590 AII with Harbeth SHL5’s   Is it 590AX or 590AXII? I thought the AXII was introduced to the market in 2015 or 2016?   I have the 590AXII. My dealer told me the AXII is noticeably better in sound q... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
Great writeup @arafiq . It’s good to note that the JA Perspective 2 has exceeded your expectations. I can relate a lot to the comparison since I own the Harbeth SHL5+ and another speaker which I regard as endgame, not a JA though. It's true the ba...
