I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
@pprocter Im re-posting an interesting link from @invalid that addresses your question… https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/bunking-cable-lifters/    
Hegel owners - what speakers are you using
I heard Joseph Audio Pulsars powered by Hegel at an audio show and the sound was mesmerizing.  Either used Pulsars or their Prism monitors would be great choices given what you’re looking for.  At their $1299 intro price the new LSA Signature 80 w... 
Anthem MRX 720 Question
@dawgbyte Please don’t go by this guy — he’s a YouTube hack who doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing. Look where he has his KEF towers positioned against the wall and in the corners, and he uses tone controls on the Arcam, both of which are just si... 
Why not?
With the power cord all we have some testimony that someone believes it works. So we know that “they think it works”… in their place… with their gear. But that does not tell us if it work on our gear, with our place in the power grid. @holmz He...

@invalid Interesting.  Thanks for posting the link.   
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@ricevs I wouldn’t be surprised if @atmasphere agrees with some of your suggestions (or some variation thereof), but in retail world they’d also likely up the price by hundreds if not thousands of $$$. Gotta draw the line somewhere to reach a pric... 
Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers
I love AP speakers.  Sounds like you may be talking about the original Virgos?  If so, here’s what JA had to say about them in the “Measurements” section in that review… The Audio Physic Virgo is a reasonably hard load for an amplifier to drive,... 
Why not?
  @holmz I said… — that your comfortable and convenient world of theories and measurements might implode if your ears tell you they’re hearing actual improvements? Or maybe you won’t find any improvements or maybe even decreased performance. Ei... 
Gustard R26
@baylinor That’s what I thought to initially, but OP might be talking about plugging an HDMI out from a non-i2S source like a DVD player and not just using a standard  HDMI cable from an i2S source. Still not clear on that. Anyway, on impulse I tr... 
How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?!
@mahler123 makes a good point about compatibility.  Maybe your DAC just recognizes Spotify as an inferior source, which it is, and just refuses to play it, heh heh.  Seriously though, do a free trial of Qobuz (if available where you are) and see i... 
Gustard R26
If you can get a schematic of a DDC’s pin out configuration(s) you can forward it to Gustard and they should be able to tell you with certainty if it will or will not work with the R26.  I’ve done this with Musician for my Pegasus and they were ve... 
Why not?
  As a scientist I can understand that if one shows something happening on a DC supply then I know that the cord changed things. @holmz Ah, I see.  You don’t trust your own ears.  Got it.  You and @ghdprentice would have an interesting conver... 
How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?!
@rop45 Congrats man. My advice — Apple’s introducing their iPhone 14, and after that arrives go to their website and search for a unlocked, refurbed iPhone 11 that’s a great phone and you can probably get at a huge discount now that it’s a few gen... 
Green Mountain Audio
Contact Scanspeak, give them the model #s and see if they have any or if there’s a very similar or maybe even improved version.  Start by going to the source.   
Why not?
Why all the back and forth?  Just try some better power cords — either buy used and sell at little/no loss or buy direct from the many direct sellers and take advantage of their generous trial/return policies — and if they don’t make a significant...
