聖HIJIRI Users thread
@lalitk  Oops, I misspoke.  I actually have the Kiwami RCA cables. After reading 5 pages of Takami power cords I just typed wrong and I am functionally blind so it is hard to read what I type.  That said, the Kiwami is a super RCA cable.  I am go... 
聖HIJIRI Users thread
I have now read this whole thread and I am intrigued by the power cord.  I recently purchased the Hiijiri Takumi RCA cable after doing an extensive A-B-C comparison with Inakustic, Hiijiri, and the Tchernov.  What a shootout it was.   I also noti... 
Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?
I had a C1800 Pre and it was very good.    
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
I laughed when I read your heading but it does have merit.  My kids do not enjoy music the way I do and my equipment would not fit into their houses.  When I sold my last house the people demanded my two-channel system as part of the deal.  At fir... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
Very nicely put Don!      
Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music
Definitely horn speakers.  Check out Charney Audio website.  Great sound and nice design.  Live music with my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers is mesmerizing.  Unfortunately, they are way above your budget.    
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
@charles1dad ---good comment regarding the sound of my Viking Acoustic speakers and Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B Mono amps.  Aren't we all guilty of wondering if there is something better out there?  Are we ever totally satisfied with our sys...

For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
I have no regrets about the cost of my system valued at around $150k.  I worked my whole life to attain this level of system.  I regret listening to dealers who talked me into buying products that are not easy to sell if I want to try something el... 
What Is Most Important?
My DAC and my Music Server  
Intermittent low hum/buzz
I had a hum for over a year and tried everything.  Spent $750 for a guy to come to my house to check everything and he could not figure it out.  Then I tried a $80 dollar Hum X and the problem is gone.  
The Best Speakers in the World!
Like you, early in my life, B&W was the speaker to have if you wanted good audio,  I had 2 different pairs of them.  I hate to denigrate a brand, but B&W for me is not a sound I enjoy.    
Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube?
@fthompson251   I had 16 of the Gold Lion 300B in my Canary Grand Reference Mono Amps with low hours.  I decided to upgrade with Western Electric when I had some fun money.  Now no more fun money --- thank you stock market and inflation.  While We...
