Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
+1 guys with the positive support!   I am a very happy customer of Veritas.  Their cables have taken my system to a much higher level.  I own 2 Praesto and 1 Clara (prototype) power cables, 2 Connexa ethernet cables, 3 Argentum RCA interconnects, ... 
Sonore Signature Rendu SE
@mitch2 Thanks for your suggestions.  My VPN has been turned off.  Jesus has been excellent and they have been very supportive.  It is just everything we have tried doesn’t solve the issue and has been pretty haphazard.  It just seems they don’t k... 
Sonore Signature Rendu SE
@majacquin Thanks for your experience details.  I really do not want to move on from the SRendu.  I just love the way it sounds when it is working properly.  But that is a significant “When”. I can rarely get through a single track before it drops... 
Sonore Signature Rendu SE
@majacquin Did you ever resolve the problem or did you just eat the SRendu and the upgrade?  Warranty fix?  Refund? I am reliving your day and nightmare currently.  Bought an SRendu SE sent it in and had it upgraded to the Deluxe last Aug/Sept and...

Six DAC Comparison
@tubeguy76 My best decision in improving my modest streaming system was reading this thread and purchasing a used Mojo Mystique EVO B4B.  Just a wonderful performing and sounding DAC.  A few months ago I traded it in for one of Ben’s Mystique X ‘2... 
What's your experience with Pirate Ship "adjustments"?
I recently used PS to send a nice set of tubes to Serbia.  First time sending internationally with them.  I selected UPS international.  It was much easier than expected.  They provided all the proper paperwork and instructions.  The package arriv... 
What's your experience with Pirate Ship "adjustments"?
I have used PS many times for UPS and USPS and have only had one USPS adjustment which was justified and correct.  I provided a shipping label to a seller and I was given an incorrect box size and weight.  I have been very happy with PS.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Owned a new pair of LE 6SN7 and compared them to many of the better old stock 6SN7 family of tubes from the 40’s - 70’s.  Old stock tubes have always sounded superior to the LE 6sn7’s and other new construction 6SN7’s until I recently bought a pai... 
EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them?
@alexatpos An Agon forum posting already exists see link. I was just spreading the news.  Ric is a great guy that has enlightened many of us and needs support from our community.   https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ric-schultz-of-evs-needs-help  
Goldenear….recent experience and lesson learned
Sorry to hear that GE no longer has your amp in stock.  I owned GE Triton 2’s that I picked up slightly used for a couple years.  They were really nice speakers and I enjoyed them.  During that time, I had both amps fail about a year apart.  At th... 
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull
Early Tull was much preferred… Aqualung, Benefit, Thick as a Brick, Stand Up, This Was. Later Tull became to pop-ish for me.  I was in the 6th grade when I heard my first Tull track “Teacher” by a middle/high school band.  I was drawn in and hoo... 
Apologies to Norah Jones, I needed more bass!
Thanks for the suggestion on the Peter Malick/Norah Jones albums.  I hadn’t heard them prior and they are very nice!  Norah does a great job with her blues vocals and Peter adds excellent feeling and tone with his guitar work.    
Things that “blow your mind”
How bad Audio businesses are at marketing and setting up a nice website that pulls you in and your $ out.  Decware should be a case study for small business success.  They have the best  complete website around and their success proves it. C’mon g... 
Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2 @fuzzbutt17 Thanks for the great thread, amazingly detailed reviews and updates.  I am really enjoying my Mystique X’25 NC but with all this hype I am getting weak knee’d for a other step up.  Maybe a Z demo or return down the road as the ...
