| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer Is it the same exact recording? Different versions of the same song can sound very different depending on transfer, resolution, etc. | |

| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review If you ever want to link a review as an example of one you like, or admire, or appreciate, then I would like to read it for positive context. @tvad Here’s a review of the same speaker that is much more rigorous and contains all the elements I m... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I guess that’s why blind comparisons are better. Maybe in cases where people are inexperienced and/or can’t be objective or trust their own ears. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Although confirmation bias is a thing, that doesn’t mean it always overrides listening or that listening is not evidence. Many of us here have spent years listening to and comparing different equipment and have come to trust our ears, but there a... | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable It is quite good with heimdall but I have heard there are better speaker cables out there. That is why I want to replace them. So, for the third time I’ll ask what specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for with new cab... | |

| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review As a follow-up, here’s another crap review by the same reviewer that I only read out of morbid curiosity as I never bother reading TAS “reviews” (aka product ads) anymore, but at least this is a little more like a review than just a pure product a... | |
| Speaker cable change?? I’d recommend these Acoustic Zen Shotgun bi-wire cables. I have them and they exhibit the sound characteristics you’re looking for. Best of luck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185798770113 | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? I think for the most part I want to find something with a different sound. That doesn’t narrow it down or help much. Here’s a Denafrips Terminator 2 in your price range… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650102074-denafrips-terminator-2/ | |
| Micromega M-100/150 I misread your post — sorry. You should do a free trial of Qobuz and see what you think — better sound quality than Amazon or Spotify. I believe Airplay is limited in its resolution if you care. | |

| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? The whole green thing is bogus and a political power grab. Go for a long run in Delhi or Beijing and you may think differently. |
