@stereo5 That was a satisfying story 😀  
Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update
Let's be perfectly honest. Most others don't have a $1 million dollar system but still have relationship issues with family.  
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
A bit surprise no one has mentioned the AGD Audion monoblocks. Owners and reviewers alike touted these amps as pretty much end-game. I haven't heard them so I have no opinion 😝

@V-fi Are you considering trying the speaker from them to see what kind of synergy can be had? I could also share my experience of both in the near future, but I’ll don’t have any kther comparable cables. Just some decent silver plated copper.

@imjerrys I know reviewers and friends that have long term experience with the AHB2 say the AHB2 sucks all the soul out of music.  But others also really like them. I don't quite understand if this is a gear mismatch or what. But the AHB2 falls i...

BMC CS3 from Germany. 8,000 Euros. The catch is it must be paired with another BMC dac or source.

Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
If you’re friends and he doesn’t know you have the same hobby. Are you really friends? I hardly doubt it. If I met someone and they try to hide the fact that they also have a dedicated system of their own, that would probably be my last invitatio...

@wig  I have the Argentum X cable which is the xlr cable and it is pure silver occ. Does not sound like a silver cable at all. It sounds supremely balanced and open. I cannot speak more until I have a better speaker cable (the Aperta is coming). ...
