Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use
"I can power the speakers with either a PS Audio Sprout100, Anthem MRX510 or something I may buy in the future."You might want to sit tight for just a bit. In the near future PS Audio is going to be coming out with a "Sprout speaker." I have been ... 
Has anyone tried the Audience Forte F3 power cord?
The component's stock cords will rob and steal dynamics and clarity.So?  If you are going to try a audiophile cable in your system? In able to hear the difference? All the other components that are still using their OEM cables will veil and muffle... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
geoffkait13,634 posts12-16-2018 12:50pmSorry to inform but there is no electron transfer through wire. Electrons are for all intents and purposes stationary. What IS traveling through the wires is photons, which makes sense, right? You know, si...

Review: Nobsound Mini Fully Balanced / Single Ended Passive Pre-Amplifier
Ironically.... This Nobsound passive has become the standard by which I evaluate other preamps. I use the balanced connections. Listen with a Yggdrasil DAC, Audience 1+1V2 speakers, and a Nuprime ST-10. The balanced cables are WyWires blue. The No...

Recommendation for DAC needed.
Who here actually uses MQA much, if at all?  Some act as if a DAC does not play it it can be no good. Most will never use it.  Keep in mind.   Some DAC's provide upgrade capacity if it ever catches on. Features do not necessarily correlate with wh...

Hi Fi Tuning fuses

Price brings mostly the outward appearance differences.There are three distinctly different sounding speaker cables.Regular stranded copper.Solid wire.True Litz (type 2).Each one will sound different than the others. Each one can be constructed to... 
Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable?
While I am obviously impressed with this high end digital cable and strongly encourage others to audition it, I am puzzled how the cable transporting digital information to my DAC from my transport makes such a big difference.Though the impulse... 
Can this be good first tube amplifier?
What is my opinion about it?I have listened to three different brands quality tube amps. All three sounded entirely different than the other. No one can tell you. And, if they could tell you what they think? You will still have no idea if you will... 
Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection?
If you have separates the rule is always turn the amp off first, not the preamp.  Otherwise you can easily get the same problem, be it solid state, or tube.  It makes no difference. Shutting off the preamp while the amp is on sends a spike to the ... 
If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers
This can be very misleading.... Speakers are only the tail end. What precedes them can make a speaker into an entirely different creature. Even speaker placement can change its character. Be that as it may... In my system. One speaker stands out. ...
