Updating my streamer
I moved from an Aurender N10 to an Innuos Zenith and I am really glad that I did, mainly because the software is much better, and the sound is comparable. My point is that the software is a big part of the experience and should be a deciding facto... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
Thanks for sharing, I have been through the same process, starting with Blue Jeans cables as well. Like others have stated, it does take some time for cables and your brain to acclimate to a change. My experience is it takes a minimum of three day... 
Elipson Planet M: quality; power requirements for desktop use?
The Genelecs aren’t any uglier than the Elipsons, unless you foolishly got the bare metal finish on the Genelecs. 😀 Seems like a lot of work and expense to change to a passive speaker, guessing the extra wiring and clutter will not help with WAF. ... 
QLN Prestige 3
I will have to give Borreson another chance, in a better setting, and with my music.   
QLN Prestige 3
Not perfect circumstances, but I heard the QLN top of the line and Borreson’s at AXPONA. I fell in love with the QLN’s and want to demo a pair, thought I think I could only handle the 1’s in my space. My impression of the Borreson speakers was sim... 
So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what?
That’s a nice system! Underserved by the Node I think. As others have said, let it settle in for a bit. Clocking and noise are key factors with digital. If you are using coax, the Node is providing the clock, which is not ideal. If you are using U... 
The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate?
Hilarious, and spot on.   
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
Good reviews, thanks for sharing.   
Magnepans VS MartinLogan for detail and sound staging
I am not sure if those Maggie’s can deliver what you are looking for, I have not heard them outside a showroom. But assuming that they can, I think you are limited by the all in one Peachtree solution. Getting to the next level would require some ... 
Solo streamer
The set is sounding so good this morning I can’t imagine how a cable is going to make it sound better. As I commented earlier I replaced mine a few weeks ago and I am still marveling at the improvement. I hope that you have a similar experience.   
Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker?
I think that you had better hear those before you jump in to the Tannoy pool.   
My list of compact subs with room correction.
Thanks, I will look into it more.  
Spades vs. Banana plugs ??
Locking bananas are my preference, then spades. Why they don’t spring load the clamping for spade connections I do not know. They have to be checked regularly to ensure they remain tight.   
My list of compact subs with room correction.
Interesting, thanks for posting. This may be useful to me as I have moved my system to a new room and have not even tried my REL yet, as the speakers have been adequate. But there is really only one spot for a subwoofer, so some magic may be requi... 
DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer
I have an Innuos Zenith and use a Merason Reuss DAC, I have been very pleased with this combination. I recently swapped in a WireWorld Platinum USB cable, I cannot overstate how much difference this made, a massive improvement. Point being, don’t ...
