Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers
Thanks Ozzy, these seem quite affordable and effective, but there is no way to attach them to the bottom of the Cubes, so the Townshend Platforms or Sound Bars are the best alternative.   This comment from the company seems very dubious:   Here ... 
Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers
Gents, I ordered the Townshend Seismic Sound Bars today for my speakers. They are less than half the price of the Seismic Platforms and might be nearly as efficacious.  I am sure that they will be a nice improvement. My Italian friend with upgra...

Great topic you teed up. Some days my system sounds awesome and some days it  doesn't quite get there. As noted above, "ear lube" helps my system and "swing lube" helps my golf game.  I embrace lubricants for a variety of enhancements in my life. ...

Wow, what a stunning system in a fantastic room the OP has.  Too bad this thread went off the rails, but as many others have posted, if you don't hear a difference, stick with your excellent Mogami cables.  Good for you to try different wire.  I w...

Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
I have had the pre-production "shoe box" 300b monos as well as the Raven for several months and have owned all Don's earlier preamps and the Kootenai.  They mate very will with my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers.  Outstanding gear, no question.    
Connectivity for Gustard U18?
I connect my iMac to the Gustard with a USB cable and then from the Gustard to my DAC I use an AES/EBU connection.  I have explored no other connections.   
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
"high end kit" I meant to write.  
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
My pal with his end kit prefers his Holo May KTE DAC to his combo Chord Dave and M-Scaler, the latter of which he sold and is extremely happy with the upgrade.  Don Sachs is ecstatic with the sound of his Lampizator DAC, as close as you can get to... 
Connectivity for Gustard U18?
