New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
+1  for Rockports. I had the (daughter won't let me sell them) B and W 801 Matrix anniversary model powered by a Krell KSA 150 for 30 years. I then moved to  Wilson Sasha 2s, but could never get them to a sound I could live with. I now have Rockpo... 
Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x?
Plus 2 @ghdprentice, I bought a C900 amp as Jay and others were all about it 4 years ago. I burned it in, and in and in, but the sound was exactly as GHD reports. I had Wilson Sasha 2s at the time. I sold it within a few weeks and bought ARC 160m ... 
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
Lalitk, you are so correct. Getting foundational stuff correct makes everything in the system perform its best, but it is very unglamorous. It's like getting underwear and socks for your birthday instead of a new bike! I am learning that power, is... 
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
Even with my Everest I ended up plugging my two amp plugs into two each dedicated circuits/wall sockets. When the 30 amp version of the Shunyata Typhon 2 came out I tried first one then two Typhon 2s with the 30 amp umbilical cord to each amp cord... 
Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner
I wasn't always a believer. I bought a 3000K shunyata conditioner and 5 first gen shunyata Venoms. I was very unimpressed. I bought this gear as I had a voltage surge and turned that into a WAFactor for support to buy it as protection. I was a fol... 
Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner
I have been a happy Everest user for about 4 years. I was offered an in-home demo of two 30 amp Typhon 2s. I did the kind of evaluation I didn't do with the Everest. I first added one with both cords plugged oof my Gryphon Antileon EVO plugged int... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
I recieved my G-slug order last night. The small size was not in stock, but I get get the two large format slugs for my Gryphon EVO amp. There is no doubt they change the sound. It is not suble like trying to figure out which 500 dollar cable or o... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
Installing a Sluggo or "bolt" in place of a rated fuse and connecting directly to the wall power is dangerous and none of us here are suggesting that. The "bolt"/Sluggo is not the Swiss Digital Fuse, but the Sluggo is what contributes to the impro... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 or Vitus SIA-025mk2 / RI-101mk2
While each Gryphon model has a slightly different sound, I am super happy with my Gryphon Antilieon EVO. In three years I went from an older Krell KSA150 to a Naim DR300 NAP to a pair of Parasound JC1+s to a Luxman Mu900 to a pair of Audio Researc... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
Thank you for such a well written and well executed test. Trying all those fuses, going back and forth and critically listening to them had to be a chore. I left the TED team almost a year ago, only because with each Swiiss digital fuse and sluggo... 
why expensive streamers
I am not trying to upset anyone, but the harsh comments from some that say "if I can't hear it or measure it it must not be real" bother me.  Those members who cannot hear differences in network componets, cables, and streamers and are concerned a... 
Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?
  jji666, I understand the "perfect data" transimission concepts, but have you listened to two or three Ethernet cables on a resolving system.   
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
I was waiting for this question to arise about so much product churn from Synergistic Research. It was an audible improvment when I swapped my factory component fuses for Orange then Purple and then Swiss Digital Fuses.  It's certainly not that SR... 
Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
I have found that the common suggestions about amps and power conditoners etc. are suggestions not rules. I configure my system and then listen to it. Sounds so basic, but I haven't always done my due diligence. I did listen to my Griffon EVO plug... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
This is a great question! I mention brand names to give credibility and context. I have owned a Wadia 16, then to an Oppo 205 with the modwright mod, to an entry Naim Streamer/DAC, to a DCS Bartok, to a pre-APEX DCS Vivaldi Stack, to a Lamizator P...
