What's your process for comparing new gear, cables, etc.?
Clearthink, although we usually don’t agree I always respect your opinion and in this case you are absolutely correct. His tone is always very condescending to others. Millercarbon must be slipping though, he didn't link his system to the post. Ma...

best power conditioners under 4k
I use Shunyata conditioners in my main system and Furutech in my other system.  Systems are dead quiet with no lack of dynamics.  
Suggestion for speaker cable for aerial acoustics 7T
@romney80,Here is the link to Ram Electronics Canare page.https://www.ramelectronics.net/ram-speaker-cables.aspx 
Conrad-Johnson MF-2250a
In my system, the amp sounded very slow, thick and syrupy.  Dynamics were weak and the transients were not that good.  The guy I sold it to loved it and thanked me for the great deal. YMMV. 
Suggestion for speaker cable for aerial acoustics 7T
@romney80,The Canare bested a $1500.00 pair of Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables I was using since 2010. Bass goes deeper and highs are more detailed without sounding etched.  I am extremely happy. Check out Ram Electronics online. I boug... 
A good amp to pair with McIntosh preamp
If you believe in system synergy as I do, a McIntosh power amp is the best match for your Mac preamp.  I tried my Mczintosh C2500 preamp with a Conrad Johnson MF2550 amp and did not like it one bit. I also tried it with an Odyssey Stratos amp whic...

What about Canare 4S11 cables?  Very inexpensive and can easily beat many other brands regardless of price.  
Which is better.
@jcipale,I am happy you are enjoying your Emotiva CD player. My comment regarding the bright display was valid as the piece I had did not allow to dim or shut off display. Plus, the unit I had, XDA1 DAC was extremely bright and unlistenable to me ...

@kingbarbuda,You have quite an impressive line up of equipment.  The systems must sound wonderful. 
What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using?
You guys have been fantastic and have really given me some things to think about.  The Oticons sounds like something I would want to go with if I need to, but the price, ouch!  If my hearing ability is 11K at best, how come I can still hear the sn... 
Conrad-Johnson MF-2250a
No but last year I sold a 7 month old CJ Mf2550 250wpc power amp with box and manual for $2200.00.  It was a “10” and the person who bought it from me called me a week later, thanking me.  In my system it sounded as thick as cold maple syrup.  In ...

I bought a Fluke multimeter with a hard case for $45.00 on Amazon. Got it within 3 days.  Fluke is one of the better brands.
