Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2?
Yep I’m blindly watching videos on YouTube and buying everything I see. You are so correct.  
Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2?
I still feel as his content has great value and could care less if he is trying to make a dollar. If he is honest about his reviews that’s all I care about. So far the gear that I have purchased on his recommendation has been stellar. I will let y...

Maybe he chooses to not write reviews of gear that does not preform well. I have watched many of his reviews and in most he has a section for cons or negatives.    I watch the British Audiophile as well and do really enjoy his reviews. I have a s...

I find his reviews to be some of the best on YouTube. He is not in bed with anyone and buys most of the gear he has and has been very transparent. I have gained a fair amount of equipment knowledge from watching his videos. His taste in music and ...

Been looking at both 4 post from Pangea and a Target. The steel plate thickness for the top plate on the Target is what they use for the base in the Pangea so really paying for thicker steel it sounds like. Probably less likely to ring as well.

What models did you try? 4 post? The Pangea seems to be a great value. $250 vs $600 and that’s getting a deal on the target.   
A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers
I went from a node with dac to a new streamer and new dac and very happy. Pretty big jump up for sure. Using the Zen Stream with aftermarket LPS.   
Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options
I am trying the Micca in my system currently and have two others that I am testing as well. For the money the Micca is great but it will not hold its own to higher end cables imho. I will report back once the 3rd cable arrives.
