| Duelund speaker cable I made a pair of speaker wire in 10AG and braided the + and - together. See prior thread post. Also, I wired my speaker cabinets with the 12AG. Nice synergy with the warm, detailed, full room live/life-like sound quality. Really nice sounding w... | |

| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found A few more updates: I picked up a pair both the Connexa and Mirus ethernet cables. I have not heard a difference in ethernet cables in the past but I have not tried top tier ones either. Well right out of the box they both provided a very notic... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I have not compared the two but I bought 2 Praesto cables since they were more flexible and not significantly more $. Also liked the black sleeves. Good choice they sound excellent but they do take quite some time to break in as do the Veritas IC... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @larsman nice choices…I love my Aric amp and he’s such a great guy as well. I have an Aric Super 300B Set amp paired with a Supratek Cabernet 6SN7 preamp. Just a pair made in heaven. I have rolled and researched many 6SN7 tubes. There are man... | |
| 3 New Products: My Review: My take would be to provide individual flexibility. Some may only want or need one of the devices since they do different duties. Just my 2 cents… | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? +1 @jsalerno277 Couldn’t have said it better. The only important element I would like to add right behind SQ is: - Discovering new music in a convenient easy manner. High quality streaming has really changed the game for me. No more costly p... | |
| 3 New Products: My Review: @labpro My suggestion and although not ideal due to you having mono amps and the SSZ only having 1 soft start outlet. Set up: LNBH in wall duplex, SSZ into LNBH, preamp and both monos into SSZ with preamp into soft start outlet. Ideally you wou... | |
| AliExpress order issues @thecarpathian Hope all goes well with the Odin Gold purchase. They are very nice cables especially for their price. I went all in with them a few years back. I have since upgraded IC’s and power cables to Audio Envy which I like better. Recent... | |
| AliExpress order issues Bought several items and have never had an issue. Even returned a few times that went flawlessly. I have noticed that they are now adding high shipping charges that are pricing me out of their market. No longer shopping from them. | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. Interesting thread…no science here but my experience is Ethernet cables can both make or not make an audible difference. I feel it depends on many different variables. Modem/router and their quality and power supplies, switch, optical isolation... | |
| 3 New Products: My Review: @ozzy Now that the LNBH and SSZ have had some nice break-in hours, moving my Mainstream and Snubway to my modem/router roon core room and upgrading the LNBH/SSZ power cords all I can say is WOW. My system has never sounded better. Separating my ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found So after another week I have decided to move on from the Aperta SE speakers cables. Now offered on that other site. The cables seemed to have settled in and they just don’t seem to be changing anymore. Chalk it up to system synergy or my sound ... | |
| Leave it on? Off = Tube power amp, tube preamp, tube SSX Foz sound expander, field coil speakers power supply On = Everything else. DAC, Sub, Streamer, Roon core, EtherRegan/clock, LPS’s, power conditioners | |
