Over the years I bought components I could afford but always wanted more. After many ye... | |

| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @kclone Audio Envy on my system were very nice but the Veritas took my system to another level and made me realize just how important cables are to the SQ of better components. Both AE and Veritas are very well priced for the SQ they provide and ... | |
| DHT preamps...Supratek Cabernet vs Vinnie Rossi L2 Signature Edition. Better check and see if Mick (Supratek) is still building.

| ChatGPT Willsenton R800i 805 vs Line Magnetic LM-805ia Quite impressive result and a good time saving starting point on research. I have used it several times for other topics with good results. Should improve more with time and development. | |

| If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be? Large separate room with dedicated AC lines instead of shared living space rooms. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @markusthenaimnut good to hear…I like the sound of RCA black plate 6L6G, GE 807 and Westinghouse 807. The 807’s have even more bass, slam and overall fuller sound. Both sound excellent just different. | |

| Seller Silence To me, if you place an ad it is common courtesy for the seller to quickly respond to questions. No or a very delayed response is a “Red Flag” warning ⚠️ . Do you really want to trust this seller to complete the sale without delay or issues. Whe... | |

| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Well after being so impressed with my Audex USB and my Argentum IC’s I went all in and picked up a set of Aperta SE Speaker cables and two Praesto power cables. I think that speaks for itself what I think of Veritas cables. I need to break-in t... | |
