XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I have recently bought many pro audio XLR cables Mogami 2549, Mogami 3173, Canare L-4E6S, Gotham GAC 4/1 Ultra Pro and Belden 1800f. I believe that there are no absolutes in Audio. What works in one system or between two components will have diffe... 
Can I do any better than BJC LC-1 or Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro for the money?
I just went through this exercise my self and use BJC LC-1 in my system as well. However, most of my system is balanced. I A/B/C Mogami 2549, Mogami 3173, Canare L-4E6S, Belden 1800f and Gotham GAC 4/1 Ultra Pro. Cables are system dependent so you... 
ifi LAN iSilencer
I implemented this into my system and I had the same experience as the OP. I have this connected to my router prior to my Small Green Computer i9 Optical to Sonore OpticalRendu. There has been some debate whether this would bring an improvement pr... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I installed a Synergistic Research Purple fuse in my Musetec Da 005 and can report that it made a very positive improvement. The soundstage expanded in all directions. There is greater seperation of images and there is more layering in the soundst... 
Short Review of Revelation Audio Passage Cryo-Silver™ Reference umbilical power cable
I purchased a Revelation Audio Labs Passage Cryo Silver Reference umbilical through Brad's ebay listings. I required a custom length for my Supratek Cabernet and Brad added a new listing on ebay for my specific purchase. All done very promptly and... 
Supratek Owners Thread
I am a happy new owner of a Cabernet 6SN7. I was a bit worried that I would have an issue with the noise floor or tube hiss on my 100db efficient Altec A7 since I had issues with a Border Patrol EXT, Modwright LS 36.5 and a Rogue RP 7. I can happi...

Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
Topping LA90 is what I am using now. I picked this with the same criteria as you are looking for. Low weight, Class A/B under 80 watts, runs only slightly warm. It has beat out the Benchmark AHB2 as the lowest Sinad measurements. I've sold off the... 
opticalRendu network streamer – a review
I had a very similar experience moving from a Chromecast to Node 2i, then added the PD Creative power supply and ultimately changed to the ORendu. A noticeable improvement in SQ was achieved with each upgrade. I listened to a friend's Gustard R26 ... 
Enleum Amp 23R w/LS3/5A
It sounded like a good SET amp. Images floated in space.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I have tried 2 USB cables without the 5V, that being the Acoustic BBQ Full Rack and Sablon 2020. I have also tried the following powered cables Audioquest Diamond, Supra Excalibur and a couple of generic cables. I found in both circumstances with ... 
Enleum Amp 23R w/LS3/5A
I have auditioned the Enleum 23R with the Falcon Acoustics Ls3/5a at a dealer showroom and it was a fantastic pairing. In the same system I heard the 23R with the Cube Audio Nenuphar Mini which I thought was an even better pairing mainly due to th... 
Topping Pre90 Switching op amps?
I sold the Pre90 and bought the A90 discrete for it’s added headphone capabilities which are fantastic with my Hifiman HE 1000v2 headphones. The A90 discrete sounds a bit warmer to my ears in comparison to the Pre90. In the last couple of months I... 
Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind?
The ASR review came out in May and I bought the 005 in June. I had been following a few threads on the 005 for about 6 months while I was trying to decide on which Dac to purchase. So, no the ASR review didn't dissuade me from purchasing it. I val... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
My experiences with the Musetec and silver (USB cables only) mirror that of @melm. I tried the Audioquest Diamond and Supra Excalibur and I prefer copper USB cables such as the Acoustic BBQ Helix and Sablon 2020.
