Linkster- I used z-plugs over banana with my last two sets, including Audience 24se (a wonderful cable at 1/5th the price, btw). Can you provide a link of a z-plug with the proper thread to fit into the UR speaker cable? How did you fit yours?Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread with keen interest. Although I am some time away from affording even one of these well designed cables, I have to ask one simple question. How do you run multiple power cables, speaker cables where ea...

Upsampling DACs
Look on my thread about the Allnic D5000 DHT. It best my EMM dac2x by a wide margin and much cheaper. It is more versatile than the Empirical Audio Overdrive SE but produces a different sound. Although Empirical does not upsample, it plays redbook...
