Budget High Current Power Cords
I have had surprisingly good results with Anticables power cords. This is from a power cord sceptic. They offer a no questions asked return policy. So, I thought ok, I'll drink the Kool Aide. Surprisingly, They made an obvious audible difference. ... 
Power cord choice?
Anticables power cords are audibly better in my systems. No doubt there are other manufacturers who make good power cords but I think they are exceptional. They have an easy trial policy that makes trying one a no risk proposition. I was quite sce... 
Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
I'm a big fan of the Schiit Gungnir multibit. After many hours of play I still like it a lot. The others mentioned here may also be good but the Gumby is so pleasant I am not driven to replace it at the moment.

High end Class D amps?
"curious to hear your characterization of the sound quality difference between the pass and stellarpls advise your speakers and source"My source is either Qobuz through a Schitt Gungir Dac or from my turntable. I've recently spent a lot of time ge... 
High end Class D amps?
I'll add a vote for the PS Steller S-300. I have been using one for several years. It needs a good power cord like the Anticables. It sounds fantastic in my application. FYI I also own a Pass XA-25 that's also great. They are both fantastic amps t... 
Hi-res streaming on Qobuz

Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less
I was using a Jotunheim multibit and liked it. I replaced it with a Gunguir Multibit to see if I could hear some difference. Damn, I cannot believe how good the Gumby is. It needs a few days of run in before it sounds right. But after settling in ... 
Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time?
This is good data. Thanks 
Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time?
I'm inclined to leave it on. It does sound better after being on for an hour. After that, I'm not sure it's not just me wanting it to sound better. But, heck there does not seem to be much downside. I've owned a  Threshold 400A since new. I did tu...

I enjoy the forum PS Audio has on its website. It is not exclusive to PS products and generally free of hyperbolic discussion.https://forum.psaudio.com/ 
Forte 1A or Threshold 400A
I have a Threshold 400A/Cascode driving Kef LS 50's. I bought it new and recently had it recapped and replaced the power switch and input connectors, and added an Anti Cables power cord. I've owned this amp since new. Over the years I've used it w...
