| It's attention, not money, we should budget @erik_squires 100% agree spending time/attention and experimenting with an open mind can pay huge dividends. It has for me. It seems to me many give up on a component/speaker prior to finding their true maximum performance and assuming a more exp... | |
| Lab12 Integre4 review from new owner Fantastic DAC for all the music I listen to. Blues, folk, jazz, rock but I don’t listen to heavy metal rock, electronica, hip hop…Eagles, Dire Strait, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Counting Crows are a few examples that sound great. Tube choice makes... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator For anyone interested…Have had a few days now with my 2 Pink Faun ethernet isolators. Well, I have to say they are doing something not for the good when plugged directly into my Bricasti M5 streamer. It takes the life out of the music. Really noti... | |

| What use to burn in power cords? Yes this is what I use on my garage refrigerator and 100w shop light. Leave it on for a week or so. Seems to do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Computer-Power-Cord-PAC100/dp/B00066HQ50 | |
| Audio envy - dang! @nutty I don’t own any regular OE expanded. I did compare it (on my tube preamp) to an OE elite 3 and the expanded with ground upgrade is much better it all ways. Cap told me that he highly recommended the ground upgrade and it is well worth it.... | |
| Audio envy - dang! @nutty don’t see these recepticals on AE’s website to order. Is this an ask Cap special order only? Price? Thanks Also, I have now had my new OE Expanded with ground upgrade power cable for 2 weeks and it is a really nice step up. Everything i... | |

| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables What the…I guess we have to translate Raysmtb1’s word definitions to understand his nonsensical post. Funny = Compelling Pretend = Validate (d) | |
| Denver used market? So sorry for your loss. Best to you and the family. Check out The Music Room located in CO. They buy and consign. Good luck to you! https://tmraudio.com/sell-your-gear/ | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables I bought several of these Nordost copies with the understanding if they did not work out that they should not be resold. At their prices this is still very low risk and not a big deal. You may be a forthcoming seller and honest that these are k... | |
