Cable droop
Tough to find time to take photos when you spend 8 hrs a day launching insults at people online. 
Cable comparison charts?
Worst idea ever, buying cables off a spreadsheet. So of course everyone is taking it seriously.* Why am I so not surprised? Enough! We get it...only you have great ideas and we are so grateful that you admonish people so strongly for asking que... 
6J2 tube rolling?
@dougeyjones   Just curious, which phono pre do you have that utilizes those tubes? 
Game Changing Tweak
"the whole marketing narrative of these things is baloney"  yet products that gush over their liberal application of quantum materials, carbon derivatives, and nanotechnology are so much more plausible. lol@millercarbon Other people are allowed to...

OP: Just curious...what amp are you pairing them with? 
Lumin upgrade - built-in or separate DAC?
Enjoy your S1! 
Lumin upgrade - built-in or separate DAC?
@veerossi  Yes, it upsamples  from 44.1kHz to DSD128.  You can find the complete specs here:  http://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-u1.htmlI'm using a Lampizator Atlantic TRP DAC and have the units connected with a Sablon 2020 USB.  Really enjoying the ... 
Objective Studies?
