looking for a more efficient speaker.....
@jew16384  What are you talking about? A light weight vehicle with a big horsepower motor will blow the doors off a heavy vehicle with the same motor. I have Emerald Physics 3.4s Open Baffle @ ~ 99dB. No flea amp here. My amp is a LSA Voyager 35... 
DAC diminishing returns
I had thought of upgrading my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (DAC/PRE). Fortunately, I came across an AGon thread mentioning Ali-Express Nordost knock off cables. I decided to stick my toe in the water and bought a Odin 2 coax cable and was shocked ho...

Jesus Christ Superstar Original Cast. I was fortunate to see them live way back in 1971. I roll it out every Easter

Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article)
@mahgister So true, ESPECIALLY IF THE MUSIC CAN BE PLAYED AT 432Hz, which apparently can be done via Streaming, but so far as I know, not via vinyl or CD formats. I suggested the idea of a 440>432 interface to Paul McGowan a couple years ago,... 
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?

Cream Disralie Gears  
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
Someone on a thread asked if I had done my fuses. I had done everything else and all had a good bit of playing time. Well, since I have the top cover off my Voyager 350, I treated the one fuse on the power supply board. It was a nice improvement t...

dissapointing experience with Project CD Box RS2T Transport
I just had a thought   first did you plug the PS into the RST2 first?   Either way, unplug from wall or PLC wait 5-10 seconds then turn on (this has worked for me a couple times)   Fingers crossed
