Power conditioner and high end power cord
I repeat "it all depends"I have amazed myself at suddenly I have found my mains supply is so rubbish. Not voltage variations but just contaminated and different at certain times of the day. I live in quite an upmarket town in UK so I do (did) not ...

Coming back into this thread, I am horrified to read that people can promote an argument that the Linn is defective because you can upgrade it over many years. Surely a hi fi item that allows itself to be upgraded as time passes by, is quite an ex... 
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
Music streaming from my Oppo 105d is awful vs bpd2 or dcs

The limited edition just out now - only 100 being made or something like that. Thought I'd jump at it purely on dealer advice and favourable comments from other people that I consider to be believable consistently.

I have a Goldring Lenco 99 carefully set up with VERY modest components that sounds VERY acceptable and much better to listen to than a multi thousand £ Clearaudio deck that I screamed at myself for being so stupid to buy before hearing, and made ... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Everybody will expound their favourites, so there is no real right or wrong choice of make. I would imagine that as long as they are not  put on "loud" almost any make will be satisfactory and demonstrate improvement. As someone posted above, 2nd ...

I bought a Technics 1200G this year after reading favourable reviews. Now that was a mistake! I put a triplanar arm and Benz LP cartridge on it for good measure. I also have an LP12 with Audio Origami arm and Benz Lp cartridge, and cannot believe ... 
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
Whilst writing I pondered over the use of Airplay suggested above, Airplay in Roon is far inferior  to normal wired ethernet so maybe the context I am missing on other products. 
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
I have tried unsuccessfully with "just" streamers, Not only sound quality varies a lot but ease of use with the app. I have ended up, and I am currently happy with my Bryston bdp2 ( I have 2 of them!) and DCS upsampler (streamer included)DCS do ju... 
$30K for 3 meters speaker!
Yes I too have the WelsBest speaker cables I have had so far! 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
"Because they know better and are technicians "Well what I do know is that engineers and technicians often talk rubbish, and have ears that demonstrate that their ears seem to be pointless.And if anyone writes that studios have kit a or b so must ... 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
Amps are important here. For example in my system newer Bryston amps are more "efficient" at lower volume levels than older ones. There is a technical reason for this which I cannot remember, but it does impact on easy listening at lower volumes.  
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I do not understand why the Kef blades speakers are recommended. Plenty of much better speakers out there for that price. From direct experience I could name quite a few! 
Non Oversampling DACs
Slightly diverting the subject - but DCS upsample and Bryston oversample. One does not necessarily help the other in the same system. I was told it would take too long to explain to me! 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I also have 3 subs in the small room all running at rather low volume and low frequency. This is NOT an overkill as it gently raises the flow of sound  and improves substantially. I can certainly notice the difference if  I forget to switch them o...
