HDD format issue for music files
Well, much appreciated, I am sure that your answer to my plight.  Thanks for the taking time to reply. ;-)  
Don Sach's pre amp
Pesky_Rabbit, From a derivative stand point, Don Sachs has acknowledged that the inspiration for his preamp came from Roy Mottram's SP-14 preamp. Indeed, Roy mentions Don in his website so their relationship is very solid.  http://www.tubes4hifi.... 
Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?
Two that come to mind are the above-mentioned Linkwitz LXmini's (where the sweet spot exists pretty much everywhere in the room) and the venerable Spica TC 50's and 60's.  I heard a pair of ML Montis with a Lyndorf receiver and in the narrow  swee...

Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
PS Audio's last attempt at a high end speaker went nowhere.  Pretty stiff competition at this price point, not the least of which is the KEF Blade speakers.  
Rooftop solar panels impact on audio SQ
Thanks Roxy for your take. Delm, thanks for your links but adding Tesla batteries is      out of my realm.  That is whole different kettle of fish that I will not pursue.    
Rooftop solar panels impact on audio SQ
Thanks very much for your response, it is helpful to get audiophile's take on this.  The efficiency of the new panels even compared to a few years ago is really amazing.   I'd guess that an appropriate set of panels will cost me around $10K, more ... 
Cube Audio speakers in Northern California?
No joy in trying to to send you an email.  It is not possible?    
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
Doug,  I sure agree that these new Class D amps are amazing.  I thought years ago that analogue sound reproduction was kaput, but nothing could be further from the truth.   I think Atmsaphere and Pass Labs, among others, are going to gravitate to... 
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
I swapped out my tube amp for the VTV amp yesterday for the heck of it and again I marvel at how musical the VTV amp is, no question, just clean clear power.  I listened to it for hours and hours yesterday and loved it more as the listening went o... 
Cube Audio speakers in Northern California?
Cool.  So long as you avoid Ignacious J. Reilly's hot dog carts, it was my experience that you are always assured of a delightful meal in NOLA.  I ate so many fresh oysters at a nice place one night that I thought I would not eat again for  a week... 
Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp
orgman, You are bit late to this thread, yet I agree that Class D technology has markedly improved since this thread began.  I have the VTV Audio EVS1200 amp, modded by Rick Schultz, and it is as you say, it strikes me as being ruler flat in its s... 
Cube Audio speakers in Northern California?
NOLA Gents, Sadly, I see the Upperline Restaurant in NO has closed.  I was way underdressed for my meal there a few years ago, but they let me in.  It was the first and last time I had turtle soup;  the rest of the meal and wine was grand, as was... 
Cube Audio speakers in Northern California?
David and Mozart, I will say that New Orleans is my favorite vacation spot in the US, by far, no question.  To hook up with you both would be a delight, finally hearing the Cube speakers, which my friend that owns them is ecstactic about.   I wil... 
No connectivity to Micro Rendu device
My MR is directly connected to the MR device via an ethernet cable, streaming from my new iMac, OS v.10.17.5.   I select the MDP/DLNA renderer and am unclear as to the alternative connectivity you suggest using wifi... Can you explain further.  Th...
