Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
A question for MC or anyone...if you had an opportunity to replace the drivers or all of the components you worked on what would you do if money was not an object.  Where do you think the biggest bang for the buck is between the drivers and the ca... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
JPAN ---you saw the dimensions of my large room that acoustically speaking is God awful.  That said, I too have a wife who even hates the HFT's that I have scattered around.  She thinks they look like bugs and are an eyesore.  I am just curious, w... 
Best of... Soundbar for Samsung TV
True Audio custom builds sound bars to your exact specification.  I have one that produces awesome sound. 
What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive?
Cat ---I just went through that last year. I sold my house and they bought my two channel system.  The good news is that I was going to get a whole new system   The bad news is I bought it in the wrong order.  After having a high end tube amp, I w... 
Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses
omg you are opening up pandoras box.  Please read the myriad of forums on this topic.  It will keep you busy and confused for weeks.  BTW, I have the orange along with the orange duplex and I think they matter.

Good Luck my Audiophile Tweaker!  You are on another level.  I have a hard enough time trying to figure out how to turn my system on and off.   
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
Got mine today and only pasted the Power cords.  Yes, I definitely heard a difference and resolution, soundstage which appeal to me even at lower volumes. I imagine it will get better as more hours are placed on it. Next job is to clean and paste ... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
I currently own Tekton DI's and Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers.  The Viking are 98db and driven by a mono tube amp and pre-amp and a Lampi Pacific tube amp.  Send me a private email if you want my opinion on Tekton vs a Horn.  I do... 
Streamer upgrade
Lumin  -- I have had the D2, A-1, X-1 and just purchased a U-1 mini. There is one for any budget but if you can step up the X-1 is definitely reference quality Dac/Streamer.  The app is super easy to use.  You do not need Roon or JRiver.  I know t... 
Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
MC - just a question or two...you have a wonderful system that is geeked up to the max.  Then you buy the Moab's that you have basically said is the greatest bang for buck speaker on this planet.  Now you are taking it apart and adding more upgrad... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Tom - funny you mention that because I happened to look at the InaKustic earlier today and yes,, I realized I can't use it for the amps. Now I have a high pitched hum in both speakers that I have to try and figure out.  It is coming form the eithe... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Steve and MaweThank you for the information.  I did watch the video.   Very interesting.  My Canary Grand Reference has 16 300B tubes....that will be a project in of itself and who knows maybe it is more than one tube.  It should be noted the tube... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
I went about replacing all of my PC's.  Unfortunately, they did not work for my grand canary reference mono amps as there was a loud hum.  I was really hoping that all my power cords would be the same so it would be easier to hear the performance ...
