Long RCA interconnects
Just got in a pair of Kabeldirekt 20 feet pair to test out. Sounds amazing. Just for peace of mind I'll probably end up making my own 'audiophile' interconnects but cool...and it looks like I really need 15 feet or so.

tube bias question

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Have you thought about creating an insulated room suspended from a crane so it's decoupled from the earth? 
Metrum Dac owners
@roncagg , yeah let us know. I'm honestly confused by the vast array of things out there. I was gonna get a Schiit Eitr and call it a day but sometimes manufacturers optimize particular inputs, and I'm not sure if the coax input in Metrum dacs wou... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Anyone compared the DCA16GA vs the DUELUND-72387 1.0 as speaker cables? Also are there any DIY links to make speakers cables out of these wires?

Copy and paste from my head-fi post, I reviewed with actual music and noted my observations, unlike going through the same 5 audiophile recordings and using nebulous descriptors like blacker backgrounds and tighter bass, so bare with me:Yes, I jus...
