Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC
Well, this really plugs a gaping hole in the market.   For some reason, some companies seem to feel the need to offer a unit in each component category.  TTs from ML, Bryston and McIntosh spring to mind.  IMHO, they'd be better off sticking to wh... 
Best DIY speaker cable for newbies
Weave some Duelund.  
Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes!
I don't suppose anyone's heard the massive new 300B-based integrated amplifier that WE has been advertising recently.  It seems to me that they are expanding/diversifying.  
Slightly OT: The Tragedy of Macbeth
Judging by the trailers, the principal emphasis is on the moody B&W look and other atmospheric film noir details, of which the sotto voce dialogue would be a part. For contrast, try Kenneth Branagh's filmed version of a stage performance of M...

Commonly mentioned speaker brands?
Some expensive brands get mentioned on A'gon quite frequently, like Wilson or Magico.  Other expensive brands with much less frequency, e.g. YG, Estelon, Kharma.  I've always assumed each of the several audio forums had their own culture, with the... 
Electric cars will ruin late night listening?
The Shunyata Hydro Charging Station.  Now there's a concept.  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
It all depends on the price bracket you're looking in.  There have been quite a number of innovations in materials used in drivers and cabinets, and in driver and cabinet construction.  But these only "trickle down" slowly.   And then there's ben... 
Looking for new speakers Sabrina X or Totem Metal V2
Upselling? If you get the Wilsons, you'll end up changing out everything else in your system. Have you heard the Totem Wind's?
