Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables?
@jrareform It's a small operation and I believe they only sell direct. So you won't find them at a local dealer or anything. They do have an in home trial though, like all the better small cable brands do (or should at least if they know what is g... 
FYI - QoBuz Hi Fi partner playlists
Hopefully they do listen to your suggestion, that would be very helpful and should be a simple fix for them to implement.  
Looking for a Short High Quality HDMI Cable
I've been trying out a whole bunch of HDMI cables lately for a dedicated headphone setup I am assembling. Using a Denafrips Gaia I2S out to a Denafrips Terminator 2. So far my results have been very mixed. Tried several more affordable options fr... 
Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables?
@jrareform I'm using Veritas Aeris power cables in my system. Extremely impressed with them. For just over $400 the Aeris compared favorably to the Audience Studio One power cable which is around $1500 (I did a direct back to back between them). T... 
Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables?
I've used the Parsec and agree with your take on it as far as dynamics. Very impressive for the price in that aspect. Kind of seemed like a one trick pony though, dynamic impact at the expense of other aspects. In the right system I could see it b... 
Quad revela speaker. Need advice.
I'm curious as well, several "pro" reviews on these but I can't find anything by way of actual user feedback. They really do look nice though. Unfortunately they sit in an extremely competitive price range where there are so many great options.   
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
I don't know anything about Viborg, but I have seen these same connectors in the Audience Studio One power cables. Those are well regarded at their price which is around $1500 if I recall correctly. The Aeris is almost 1/4 that price, it feels ext... 
Unable to read an original cd
Good luck! I hope you do end up finding some little scratch/blemish as that would explain the problem. If the original disc looks flawless then I would worry about the laser on my player maybe starting to have issues. Then again maybe there is jus... 
Unable to read an original cd
I've had this same thing happen a few times. My theory is that the original discs had very mild scratches somewhere. Either from me or already there from the creation process. Sometimes a tiny scratch in a circular angle is much worse than a deepe... 
Why so many AQ Hurricane PC's for sale?
I don't know about Hurricane but a few years back I ended up with pair of Audioquest Monsoon power cables. The first was brand new from a local dealer. The other was used from an audio forum from a guy who was selling a few of them. The seller fr... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@twoleftears I use several Aeris power cables in my main system and I love them. I believe they are hybrid design with 7N UPOCC silver and copper. I either read that in this thread or heard it from Veritas directly, can't remember. Not sure if the... 
Looking for a more up-to-date streamer
Agree with those who are saying Aurender. Don't sleep on the "lower" models either, they are still quite good. Bonus points for being available on the second hand market for great prices.  
Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant?
There's nothing wrong with your G1, it is still great. I have the G2.2 and love it but it is a significant investment, and I really can't say how much better it is. One would expect at least some improvement hard to say if it is worth the cost.  ... 
Magntar player freezing and stopping
Sorry to hear it. This is exactly why I haven't replaced my aging Oppo devices yet. They just work, never a single issue.  
Antipodes Audio - K22 G4
Yes thank you, nice write up. The Antipodes K22/K41 combo is definitely on my radar for when I eventually upgrade from my Auralic Aries G2.2.  Like you said it is nice that you can start with just K22 and then add the K41 upgrade later. I always ...
