Nuforce STA200
Holding over a hundred amplifiers qualifies you as a collector (of decibels) lol. Would you kindly rank the STA 200 (or range, say within +-5)? Thanks!

Out of warranty?

Without ever using the stock cord, the STA200 always sounded musical, grainless, and airy to me.Some amps will measure great but don't sound *right*. Lots of negative feedback will do that. Trust your ears and how you feel when music plays through... 
Best Network streamer with MQA?
@bo1972 I’m assuming you are affiliated with AudioFacts Pro and you are in Europe? I imagine competent modders worldwide can apply these mods as well as Lumin. Since you are a Lumin dealer how about making the mod available worldwide through Lumin... 
Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC?
Stumbled upon this old thread doing some research looking to upgrade.@ricevs Looking for clarification on this statement. Do I understand correctly that your opinion is the modded Sonica Dac sounds better than the modded LKS? And this is with a st... 
Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive
I've used this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VAQM48Y?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_titlefor almost 2 years now, 1st with my mydac and then with my node2. Never compared with any other cords including stock but very satisfied. Also bought a c7 to ...

+1 about imaging from the speakers (including the Xovers). If you might be looking to try to go as "dual mono" as possible for the best theoretical stereo separation with a pair of stereo amps then biamping vertically would be the way to go.. do t...

avanti1960, I'm almost sure that contacts or connections subject to multiple swipes will only benefit if you leave it be (do not switch) or until it has wiped off.If you can find some, The old (now discontinued) Cramolin Red produced by Caig Labor...

Did not do any comparisons, but sounded great with a Signal Cable PC. I'm sure a better PC will bring better performance.

Thank you David and Tim. I'd been considering replacing some outlets. A good opportunity to get into the breaker box with an electrician on-site.I’m thinking that treating/servicing the box will in reality LOWER electrical risk.Although a slightly...

Hi David,I don’t recall seeing any exposed connections the few times I’ve had to open the breaker door to reset a tripped breaker.Which (and where) at the breaker box? Simply shutting the main breaker, unscrewing wires etc?To hear the improvements...

+1, some things that appear costly prove their worth after use. We've all been there.Many posters whose conclusions I've respected consider it a bargain. I suspect I'll get there after I use it, and more so after 4 and 8 weeks:-).

Sweet, more left to be used later on other systems, cars, bulbs, appliances, breaker box etc.My curiosity is finally satisfied! My guess about the new item was in the ballpark. Impressions of the item give great insight into what we can expect.I h...

Thanks resolution1 I'm sure I will. I have the sequence planned out, every system power and speaker connection first, low level next, and will progress to the insides of the electronics like some have done.It will be interesting to see if one orde...

I've found this thread late so it took some work to go through. Thanks OP and others who shared "valid" experiences. Hope you guys trying out the new item get permission *soon" to disclose more. You are killing me with suspense lol.Are you allowed...
