Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
This has been a great conversation. I looked at my digital world and realized that it is mostly in boxes on 20+ hard drives..none of it audio. My whole digital life, my family, business ..now retired .. is all in boxes on random hard drives. So, I...

What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?
Truth is 14 gauge ( lamp cord style ) will do the job as well as 90% of the crap out there. And it doesn’t matter what anyone tells ya…that’s why there’s such a massive market of junk out there all pining for your bucks. A A/C Power cord at th...

And the farmer hauled another load away…. Cheers   Looking at some of your previous posts it seems that all you can do is tear people down and make childish remarks.   I hope you find some success in your own life so that you don't have to tea... 
What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?
Definiately don't spend less than $10,000 on power cords for your RELs. Anything less and you'll be wasting your money as you won't hear any difference. Have you used high end power cables and listened to see if it makes a difference?  Persona... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Cecile McLorin Salvant Dreams and Daggers Incredible recording/performance. 3 LPs of perfection.  
What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?
My primary speakers were not really lacking anything, but with the RELs when I play The Doors, Cantate Domino, or many jazz pieces, the reproduction is fuller with more impact. My room isn’t that large..12.5x23x10 and the room is on the second flo...

My speakers are Sabrina X and I currently have Venom. They will be replaced tomorrow with Venom NR. The contribution from my subs are intentionally limited. If I raise the volume, or crossover point, the Sabrinas get a bit muddy. Honestly, I never...

I only have experience with Shunyata.  I use the Everest power conditioner with a 20Amp Sigma power cable to a Shunyata outlet and Sigma NR to components, but Venom NR to a pair of RELS/812s.  My RELs cross around 25Hz, so they only do very lowest... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
A proper high resolution server will have no spinning parts, hence less vibration, with lower noise through a quality internal LPS, SSD storage and file caching, and improved isolation from non-digital signals. You will get a bit further with you... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
Just curious if you’re using the upgraded iFi power supply for the Zen? I added the iFi iPower Elite. This was a major improvement. Next I added a Shunyata system power conditioner and this improved all aspects of my system. When the Holo DAC a... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
I'm already setup for vinyl and streaming..but I might move to the AirLens from the iFi Zen Stream when out and Esoteric E-02 Balanced phono preamplifier from the Sutherland 20/20 LPS once available later in the year.  No real obstacles to buildin... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
Weird question. Why would any "subset" sound better through a CD player ? Perhaps that was poorly worded. Are there a substantial number of well recorded performances recorded on CD which can’t be found via streaming services, or where the str...

Until the end of August PS Audio has $2500 off their transport.  
Shunyata Research Venom X EF Power Cable - Have you heard them?
If you are willing to spend the money, purchase a Denali, or Everest..they only differ in number of isolated  30 amp circuits, from a dealer that provides 60 day no question return policy.  This really is the only way to know what/if you are missi...
