Review and Guidance into playing with power cord, strips, receptacles, and conditioners.
After about a few days of listening to it, I think I need to move up stream. The furman 8, elite 15, and the ifi power purifier all makes my system sound compressed. With these entry level gear the gains always come at a cost. I've read good thing...

Erik thanks for the input, I still trying to get more time and A/B to see what I like, and I found the basic power cable you recommend to fall short when compared to AC-9. I do have an elite 15 unit coming it, and I would have at lease tried all t... 
Input impedance and preamp caps
@ cal3713524I had the same experience with my speakers, I had the supreme in their as the primary caps. They were lush and sweet, but not in an overbearing way, just rich which is great for a loud speaker sound. I added Miflex bypass caps to it, ...

After a week of setting up, my review of the system is consistent with the one I've posted. I ended up moving the speakers forward 3 feet away from the wall (I have other things in my room so I can't move them that far away). The imaging improve m...

I was able to get the system to work and sounding good, that I didn’t want to mess with it for the evening. The solutions were I didn’t need to move any of the current front set up, they sounded great as they were, the JBL were made to not interac...

Will be trying, As to the  Mirus DAC, after trying a few DAC, it is an exhausting process and not fun to try a bunch of them, at lease not for me. The MIRUS was the most uncolored and accurate DAC, but watch out for USB source, as USB has inherent...

Got a few more hours in last night, Sub set up is now staggered, with one PB against the wall distance between speaker and seating position, one PB a little behind the seating position. Turned down the PBs to 50Hz and volume set to 30%. The speake...
