Scott Walker Audio. Has Acora from Canada - said to be the bomb! Expensive as in close to 40K but granite cabinets. Has Magic, and Ideon, for example   
Suggested Power Cable for Streamer
I was using some VERY good power cables - Nordost as well as a few higher end AQ cables. I "discovered" Cerious Tech LUMNISCATE cables last year and started with 2 pair of interconnects XLR cables. WOW! Had a discussion with Bob Grost the owner an... 
Power cable Advice...
You cannot do better at ANY price than a Cerious Tech Lumniscate cable. it runs about $1599 but there are deals from time to time - particulate if purchasing multiple cables. Lumniscate cables complete transformed my stem and were if particular be... 
Cerious Technologies
I don’t spend a lot of time on this forum but now that I happened by I’ll just add my two cents. I met Bob Grost a little over year ago since we discovered we were neighbors, living within 25 minutes of each other here in the Valley. My interest w... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
I have had a Small Green Computer and I think Andrew Gillis builds great machines. And I do not believe that our server can contribute to the ultimate sound quality of a system nearly as much as a streamer or player. That much is certain to me all... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
I believe this thread is which SERVER sounds best, as opposed to which STREAMER?    But in answer to your question regarding a cat 6 cable connecting the K41 and the K22, yes, confirmed, though not my first choice and likely not the final solutio... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
I can tell you that from having owned the Antipodes K41 for the better part of 2 months now I’m extraordinarily impressed by the sound and the level of support from Antipodes. Mark Cole is the best. I have it paired with the K22 player feeding a M... 
Help With New Preamp Decision
The Mola Mola Makua preamp (many say) sounds as good as many 30K preamps. I think current MSRP is 13K or so. Presumably this is out of range for your budget based n what I have red. If you can find a used one...go for it! They are built like tanks... 
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
Congrats and no surprise; I have gradually been upgrading to the Cerious Tech MatrixV2 but primarily to his Lumniscate line of power cords and interconnects as well as speaker cables and my system sounds EASILY 25 % better today than it sounded 6 ... 
Help settle a streaming argument!
So CLEARLY misguided says the man who so CLEARLY never listened to a quality streamer. More false,  naïve and misguided words  have ever  been spoken. I speak these words from a position of authority bc I have a great, state of the art in the Mola... 
CD Transport
Personally, if your deck has support for I2S, I would not consider any transport that lack support for this protocol. I can tell you from personal experience, the disparity between an AES connection and I2S is quite significant.. I presently have... 
Seller Unresponsive after payment.
You have been MORE than patient. Contact PayPal at once and file a claim and have the transaction reversed and your payment method credited. You COULD ( as  a gesture of great kindness) contact the seller ONE FINAL time and let him know that if yo... 
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I have a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC and A Mola Mola Makua preamp. I conferred with the master US importer to confirm my long held belief and he did not equivocate AT ALL. It is ALWAYS better to have a qualify preamplflier in the chain. Always. I have ... 
Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ?
Get yourself as good an optical streamer as budget can support from Sonore. Don’t get sucked into the trap of spending more than you need on a quality streamer. Their most expensive option is 5k US. Then get a great DAC like the Mola Mola Tambaqui... 
Should I steer clear of class D amps
I understand Bruno Putzeys, a digital mathematical wizard who worked for Phillips and went on to found Mola Mola  has redefined Class D and is offering AMAZING SQ. Have never heard but many love their mono blocks. Maybe out of your budget however....
