Tonality of Jay's Transport?
@stuartk I struggle with the ergonomics and sturdiness of the Project transport, at least the RS2T.  I have their slot loading transport in another system and while small I like it better from a functional use standpoint.  You hit on another impor... 
Project CD Transport Service
@Wharfy thanks for your response.  I think I messed up the power supply so I will first replace the wall wart with the Linear Tube Audio linear power supply.  
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
Not sure what your definition of inexpensive is.  However, I will offer up some suggestions: 1) Zavfino Prima....., 2) Grover Huffman Pharoah cables, and 3) Cullen silver/copper cables.   The good thing about the contemporary audio scene is the u... 
Tonality of Jay's Transport?
@stuartk @Nonoise  I try and describe what my ears hear and my brain prefers with an accurate characterization as to why I prefer a certain audio presentation.  I also prefer to stay away from some of the toxic interchanges that occur in this for... 
Tonality of Jay's Transport?
I have both.  Jay's for sure is built like a tank compared to the Project.  In my reference though they sound different, the choice of which one u like will boil down to personal preference.  In my best system, I like the Jay's a bit better.  It g... 
peachtree gan 400 is very good
At some point I might pick up the Peachtree GAN amplifier.  The LSA Voyager GAN sounds to me like the love child of a high caliber contemporary tube amp and excellent class A solid state amp - minus the balls to the wall low end.  I either hated o... 
Warning for Revel lovers
Rough story.  Now u could of bought my heavenly sounding modded Revel F208s that my Spatial X5s have replaced....  
Has anyone tried the Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers?
Got them and love them....  
Recommendation for Digital Coax
My vote is for Cullen Cable...  
Duelund/Mundorf Ultra Loudspeaker Purifiers
I got mine from Audioman for use on my Spatial X5s.   They do everything promised.  This tweak for sure works in my system.    
Cullen Cable
His digital cables are real winners IMO.  I have his speaker cables, interconnects and power cords as well.  Excellent performers.  
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
I run the Townshend super tweeter with my Spatial X5s and I can fully vouch for the improved sonics with them.  They did the same for my Revel F208s.   Clearly, it is not just the high frequencies that are improved.  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
LSA Voyager GAN 350 wpc class D is a kick ass amplifier.  I have had multiple highly regarded class A amps and tube amps.  Not yet heard other GAN class D amps..  
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
I have a pair.  The crossovers in them are made of cheap low quality parts.  I had my crossovers rebuilt with high quality identical spec parts and they improved dramatically.  Detail was quite good post mod.  
Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?
My Spatial X5s throw a wide and deep soundscape that does not localize to the speakers.  Every recording ?  Not sure but on most recordings that is what I hear.
