Is the Aucharm directional?  Do they have arrows on the fuse?  
Sternklang Cables
@lak. I have been a recipient of many cables and cords over the last two months.  I owe this thread a deep dive into my journey of cables and cords.  However, I am waiting for the Sternklang which I should receive in the next few days.  At the sam... 
are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?
I have never had a cup of java so that is out.  I like wine and I have very good and expensive wine.  However, it makes me sleepy so I don't listen to music while drinking wine.  I am a collector of very fine whiskey, not scotch and I do enjoy a s... 
Sternklang Cables
Me too....I have been out of town in Dallas for the last 6 days.  I am itching to get back to listening to some music.    
Sternklang Cables
jafant - I will do my best.  It is not an easy job when you have a good system.  The incrementality is small.  I have had the Takumi in the Inakustic for two days. Very, very subtle.  Today I added a Takumi to the Lampi Pacific.  Very early -- the... 
Sternklang Cables
Recently Colin introduced me to the full Hijiri line of cables after testing against Tchernov.  I now have the Hijiri RCA cable, Nagomi PC and I am testing two Takumi Power cords for my Inakustik Power Conditioner and Lampi Pacific.  Next week I a... 
WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
For me, the biggest difference going from a SS to Tubes is your ability to create your own sound through tube swapping.  I started with a Raven Reflection MK2 integrated amp that drove Wilson and then Sonus Faber speakers.  I then went with monobl... 
NY audio show 2022
Just prior to Covid I flew from Arizona to attend the NY Audio show thinking it had to be a great show.  Unfortunately, I basically spent about 90 minutes viewing the show.  It was super disappointing.  However, I did enjoy the sites and had a gre... 
My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each !
Are these all amps that you have owned?  It will be interesting to see how far you take this thread.  As everyone knows there is another high-end thread that has over 20k posts.  The only problem is that 90% of the people can not afford the equipm... 
Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever!
@kennyc -  I agree with your sentiment.  I attended the launch of the new Lampizator Horizon DAC in LA in February and reported the results.  The purpose was just to provide information regarding the DAC and my impressions of it.  The discussion w...

Best Dedicated Streamer
I know you said you did not need a DAC but at your budget, the Lumin X-1 is a tremendous DAC/Stremer and very easy to use.  It is not built in the USA but I have had 4 of them.   If you want an end-game music server, please look up Lucas Audio,  ... 
Power cords or power conditioner
Hello Op You have a great start to your system but you will find over time you will continue to chase the elusive dream of perfect sound for the rest of your life.  Yes, a good Power Conditioner will help.  I have an Inakustic 3500P.   Yes, a goo... 
Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?
I have the Canary Grand Reference 300B Mono amps with 16 Western Electric 300B tubes. The sound is glorious. It may be overkill in my case as I have 98db speakers. I could part with them for something smaller.  
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@debit I have the 3500P and am very happy with it. I just asked about the 4500 and they are back ordered to January 2023.  I was told the 3500 can more than hold its own.  I had the Inakustic 2404 reference power cords going into a SR orange dupl...
