Will a new Dac improve the sound?
The Ares II is a fantastic DAC but I quickly uograded to the Pontus !!. Superb. Both tacks seem to handle treble naturally and the bass is much tighter and better defined.  
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
Wise words @bigtwin   
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
You could try the excellent options from Antipodes Audio in New Zealand. Great sound and upgradeable. https://antipodes.audio/        
Why recordings made before 1965 sound better.
I am with you @cycles2, Time out is stunning and does sound like they are there with you. Recorded in 1958 from memory but not sure when it was released., and no dolby (plus no hiss). It is superb. Merry Christmas to one and all from New Zealand ... 
HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES
If the wire guage of jumpers is so important, wouldn't the same apply to fuses? Based on cable theory the thin fuse wire would act like a blockage in a water hose, slowing the flow.  
Gamut Lobster Chair
MC and I agree the Gamut Lobster Chair has superb springs, meanwhile Jason Bourne is in Fantasyland  
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
Kudos for taking MC to task for his condescending manne J P Warren, you are a dickhead and as for the clown who thinks he is Jason Bourne, what a dork. Bourne, like you, is not real though he is probably better informed than you.  
What song have you played the most?
@ jpwarren58  Great song " Rose of Cimarron"  
Budget High Current Power Cords

Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
blkwrxwgn - I guess if you own a particular brand of speaker you are in a better position to talk about them than another brand you are not familiar with. You do realise that MC is living rent free in your head, you got it bad.  Me personally, I... 
ORANGE Fuse rejected
I had a ceramic fuse blow, the system sounded nothing, no sound at all. Put in new $7.90 ceramic fuse and the system made music again. Awesome sound 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
audition__audio If you are not going to read our friend MC's posts, isn't it a bit pointless and a little disingenuous commenting on them?  
Looking for my Final Pair!!
I got my pair from God 63 years ago 
Magico Customer service
Kenjit, Magico have probably read some of your posts and want nothing to do with you and your superior audiophool skills. By the way, what model Aiwa system do you listen to? 
Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.
Welcome to a world of madness. Beware of Kenjit, he is an audiophool prophet who knows. No matter what, he knows. He has even invented the worlds best speakers (I think) but sadly doesn't know how to make them and doesn't have a system to play the...
