| Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy @audiotroy regarding your concern re dCS they are however one of the very few companies that have created a truly modular product and have created an upgrade pathOn average dCS platforms are good for about ten years or so, which is a lifetime in d... | |
| Looking for a portable player-decent but not crazy $$ Many options and reviews here https://headfonics.com/category/sources/daps/i use a A&K model but a bit above your price range. You may find their older models on sale. They sound great however getting USIC on them can be a pain depending on ho... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. @fsmithjack I think you need to stop thinking about cables as accessories or tweaks and start thinking about them as part of a system. In my system for example over 50% of the retail cost is in accessories, room treatments and the like. If you lik... | |
| HFT High Frequency Transducer @millercarbon absolutely -- DIY is a fools errand but our OP seems constrained in the pocket book 😏I just posted some advice on how to further improve the impact of your HFTs, ECTs and so on by optimizing the power to your Atmosphere’s and FEQs ..... | |

| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). That kind of makes sense. But it would be nice if the advertising copy (online, boxes, price book) was at least consistent and explained the differences ... still as you say who cares as long as it performs. Good news is the 2M source I have looks... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). So the official AQ line is “we changed to all silver but we don’t provide any way of you knowing what you’ve got, in fact we ship it in a box labeled copper and silver” .... pretty stupid if you ask me | |

| Where to Purchase New Tubes for Audio Research Preamp? Another shout for Kevin -- he is expert in matching to ARC gear and his prices seem better than the vendor you linked to | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Oh and to the question are AQ cables made in China? The answer is definitively YES. The box my brand new Dragon came in is labeled “made in China” but also “Perfect Surface Metals made in USA”. So maybe this keeps everyone satisfied 😜 | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Suppose a local dealer has a Dragon50% cable (original version) in stock, he can put it in a 100% silver dragon box and sell it at a different price (the boxes of Audioquest are not sealed ); because there are no clear differences between the two ... | |
