Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat
I’ve seen videos of the Perfect Path people making this stuff in an assembly line. yes it’s boutique, as in a small mom and pop, but its legit and works wonders on my system.  
members and their systems

Hdmi causes crosstalk between external preamp sources
@azwill i cannot recommend the wolf enough. I thought my set up couldn’t get much better and I was definitely wrong. The soundstage is incredible with the wolf.

Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
