Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ?
Thanks guys, and happy holiday's to you too. I am starting to think about the holograms now, can it get better? Out be out of my lane to comment.  Two of the biggest names in audio have just reviewed NanoFlo cables and without question, all ... 
Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ?
@soix @mclinnguy @zlone  Soix, I put the AZ Holograms in today. I am blown away. Imaging is much better but tonally they are really, really nice.  I know there is a break in period so more good stuff to come and I haven't played any really good ... 
Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?
For what it's worth, Bluesound instructions noted to keep the Node on all the time as the power up cycles can increase wear and tear on components. There is no way to turn it off unless you unplug it anyway.  
Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?
@jetter  Assuming you use your nodes with an external DAC, what is your objective opinion on how much adding the LPS improved the sound?  NODE 130 with external DAC here. I added the LHY LPS (under $300) and it made a significant difference. A... 
How good is good enough?
When I say so.    
Harbeth 40.3 XD Tweeters
@arafiq good idea, will do, thank you.  
Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer?
*Innuous has on on-board DAC. Given your budget I'd go with Innuous. I will likely buy a Pulse at some point.    
Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
It's very very very very difficult to buy speakers. It's not difficult, never mind 4 X very difficult. I just bought used Harbeth 40.3 XDs, private sale. Drove an hour. To be fair though, I have a truck, otherwise it would have been inconvenien...

+1 for BlueSound. You can always add a nice external DAC down the road and still be on budget. Innuos is highly regarded but I believe you need an external DAC.    
Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money?
What cart and phono stage are you using now?  
Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers?
@j_andrews thank you!  
Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers?
@j_andrews Thanks for sharing. I have a Lenire provider near me, something I am considering. But it's $5K, inflated for California I suppose. Can you share what caused your tinnitus (I.E., aging, exposure to noise, pharma?) and what does your aud... 
I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice
I also had good results with what kmcong suggested, Node, power supply upgrade, tube DAC, good cables etc, details in my profile. Moot if you decided on the Hegel route. Lot's of good advice here, but if you are wedded to vinyl get rid of the pro... 
Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers?
Welcome. I’m 59 yo and have had tinnitus for 30 years. I’m listening at 85dB peaks 10 feet from my speakers, avg is more like 70dB which is very satisfying and far too loud to talk over if we have company. This is a very safe zone. I just had an...
