Yes indeed. If you can afford a V8 car, and paying for gas for it, go for it! No question better than a four cylinder car. Going from that V4 to the V8 is unquestionnably the most noticable outcome. However, I am sure people with V8s try to squeez...

based on my personal practice and  observation, the better are your amplifier and speakers, the better they do their job and these differences somehow diminish.  Or one can interpret your observation a little bit differently. In that, upgrading...

Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Ah… I was at Bill’s room twice. I missed it. Maybe because Bill kept bringing up the Mola Mola only, especially the new amp (or preamp, sorry I don’t quite recall)

What are your deeper thoughts? My DEEPER thoughts? What do you mean? I just saw you said you like X equipment quite a bit, but decided to send it back nonetheless. It stroke me as odd, but hey…

@calvinj : I hate to say this but you are the biggest schiillll I have ever encountered in real life and in Internet. I know you do this for the LOVE of it. But it’s getting ridiculous

I hate to say this, but Grimm was totally absent in CAF. I looked for it. Zero. I think the fad is dying up pretty quick. I love to be proven wrong. All the OG Grimm enthusiasts I know gave up on it. Admittedly my sample size is small

FYI- I liked the Urd quite a bit, but decided to send it back to Schiit. Why? This does not make any sense. Unless completely irrational, which I sympathize

聖HIJIRI Users thread
When I heard it, it was cabled with Sternklang and Tchernov, I believe. I met Colin in person at CAF this past weekend too. Very nice guy. That is correct. But, I was told by Colin all the Hijiri cables / loom were available, and he would swap... 
Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread

Last time I attended CAF was 2018 and I must say the equipment that I was able to listen to this time for the most part was impressive and in general the rooms seemed much better than before. I agree with this statement 100%. I go to CAF every ... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
And the latter appears to have been sold by a fairly prominent Audiogon seller for the past two or three years for $350-$400 with rave reviews when it can be purchased China direct for $35-$50!  Who is this Prominent dude? Please post links to ...
