Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's
@ jo1mtbI ended up with Sasha 1's. Last year I was nicely accommodated by Albert in is store where he brought in a brand new pair of Sopra 3's to compare side by side with Sasha 1's. This was the limit of my spending at the time.There was every pa... 
What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well?
Salk Exotica 3's fit the limits stated.I really like the Song 3A version for around $6kish.I've owned about 6 pairs of Salks and you cannot go wrong. 
Which USB Cable to buy
I use a TotalDac USB cable and found it immediately profound in its benefits about 4 years ago now. I like my Jena cables and may try one of theirs someday. 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
The gold is more organic and I would agree versus every other Rhodium cable I have had including the Extremes.  
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
I've had my new Matrix SC's in for 3 or so weeks and they have been stellar. Right out of the box the bass was magnificent. I am impressed they are even better than the Extremes.And Bob convinced me to try the gold power cord over the Rhodium and ...

the eternal cable question
I can't sleep at 5 AM on a Saturday so I'm trying to be coherent writing about cables! ughMy take on cables has always been to try the out-of-the box designs because trying a .99% copper vs. a .999% copper from different companies seemed like the ... 
Capitol Audio Fest
Boy, I must have bad ears because many of the rooms some of you praise were horrible to me. Just goes to show how we hear differently. I disliked the Volti, Zu, Quad, Harbeth, and Tekton rooms. I came back to the Vandersteen 5 room twice. Liked ev... 
Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's
I have my eye on Sopra 3's. For you owners of 2's and 3's, do you think my 19 ft 8.5 inches x 15 ft 5 inches x 91.5 inches high room is too small for 3's? They are physically the same size as my Exotica III's with powered woofers which I have tame... 
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
I added in some HFC Adapters to the ends of my GC's and was pleasantly surprised by the added detail and soul while retaining the GC smoothness. No downside in this combo. Thanks for the tip acman. 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme speaker cables are the best I have ever used. Check out the thread in the forums. 10 foot pair approx $750ish.

I'm a shill for Salk speakers having owned 6 pairs. For the money - can't be beat.I also third the Vandersteen recommendation. The higher end models are sublime. 
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
Glad these are working out for you guys. I need to buy the Splashes but am building a deck right now and it is sucking my cash supply down big time.I moved on from the Cerious IC's pretty quickly. The Cerious SC's are fantastic for the price. 
Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars
nice bike eddy 
AXPONA 2017 Protocol
And I forgot to mention that if you put Shazam on your phone you will be prepared when you hear some music you like to capture it right away. I get some of my best music by going to shows since gear sounding its best means good tracks.
