Competitive class D amp suggestions
@niodari   Congrats. Do not worry as it will definitely break in. Now, that said, I did not like the the supplied footers, replaced them with inexpensive Nobsound + added ~ 5#s of weight to the top. The W4S (XLR>XLR) makes a lot sense, but q... 
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
The spinner is a huge weak link in revealing what any quality dac can reveal, compared to much newer designs. I, too thought I needed to upgrade to an R2R from my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 dac/pre when using either a Marantz HD-CD 1 or Oppo 105 w... 
What is this term 'analytical' ?
In my opinion analytical means lack of body to the tones/sounds Example: when vocals sound as though they are confined to the 'head voice', instead of the chest, or with a string instrument you hear only the attack without the body of the instrum... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@nyaudio98  You need to double check how long the Voyager has been available. Much like other of your comments, this too makes no sense    
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@nyaudio98    If you don't have personal experience then keep 3rd party comments to yourself, or at least link to them. I have had one for 1.5 years+ and LOVE it. The more upgrades to cabling and transport I have done since owning it, the better...

Im in Florida. I emailed Mad Scientist about the Graphene Contact Enhancer. He has US distro, said it will come fast 10ml $79  
Best XLRs under $500 a pair
Ralph Karstan (Atmasphere) posted on another blog (my recollection could be the opposite)  that IF your components have a certain circuit then you won't appreciate any said improvement beyond basic XLR cables

Looking to replace a CD transport...
One thing I really appreciate with the Audiolab CDT6000 is that it shuts itself down when I leave the player on pause. The lack of this feature has probably cost me several transports, as I often fall asleep while they were on pause, so could be s... 
Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this?
I like the Audio GD, fully balanced, which is ~ $3300 from Underwood HiFi. There's an ad for it today  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@pehare  That should be an interesting review. I have mad respect for Ralph, though Ive never been in a position to buy his kit. Why not start your own thread?    
Best power cord for a preamp?
After many years using 3 WW Eclipse 7 CONDITIONING Power Cord (MSRP $260) I just upgraded many multiple its MSRP, and while the replacements are significantly better, the WWs are excellent at their MSRP  
Ideas for an amplifier?
Over on USAudiomart someone is selling a LSA Voyager Gan 350. Ive had one for 1.5 years, and continue to be amazed. I just upgraded the coax cable yesterday and the benefit/improvement over my Pangea Premier SE coax is jaw dropping, The sound is n...
