Best DACs under $7,000.00
@ricevs This very exciting, but doesn’t this require replacing transports with ripping/streaming devices, which then requires a laptop/tablet...? It seems this old dog needs to learn some new tricks  
Is the PS audio M1200 D class amp worth buying or should I stick to A/B class mono amps
I first had the M700s, which are excellent VALUE, but $6600 for the M1200s, not so much. Don't get me wrong, Im sure they are excellent amps (M Fremer kept his after review), but compared to what, price-wise? Long before PS introduced the M1200s, ... 
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
Nice integrated until you have a problem with it. Some 5 years ago a friend had one with a problem. His emails to Italy went unanswered for long periods of time! And no one in the US seemed capable of resolving it (probably no schematics available... 
LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker
seems like my post is missing Assuming the 20s are biwireable, if they're too bass heavy you can disconnect the woofer cables/jumpers    
Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist
Over 5 decades I have tried many different known mfgs cables (both coax, IC, PC, and speaker) Recently I read a AG Forum thread titled Counterfeit Chinese Cables, and tried a knockoff Nordost Odin 2 Coax to compare to my $169 Pangea. They are so c...

LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker / Great Performer & Great $ Bargain until end of the year
@rbull11  As long as they are biwireable, you can always disconnect the woofers  
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
@jerryg123  WOW. Hard to imagine that people thinking they could find anything at twice the MSRP to be better, although, W4S has been beta testing a new kind of GaN amp that eliminates the dac. I haven't found anything about it, but...  
Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers
I may have already commented about the Voyager GaN 350 amp. I just one FS on USAudioMart at a terrific price. He's in IN. Also saw a Project- RS2 dac/pre that should be a great match

Bi-Wire Cables under $350 (Used or New)
I recommend 2 sets of cables as you might want to experiment  
The Right Speaker Cables
Run, don't walk to Ali-Express. Type in the search bar Odin speaker cables. The only thing wrong with them is they should never have been named Nordost, BUT, they are EXCELLENT value. I find the Odin Gold the best and have both PCs and ICs. Curren... 
Built-in vs. Standalone DACs
I have owned a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (DAC/PRE)+ PS 5 (outboard LPS). My entire system has been significantly upgraded since owning it, and it still amazes. They do come up for sale occasionally HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
