I have heard and read some great things about Joe Cohen/Lotus Group and especially their Prana Wire. Well, I just bought their entry level Deva interconnects, and it has elevated my system to another level. The increase in detail, musicality, bass response is awesome. It is by far the most...
I don't know if this has been covered, and/or I am crazy, but I hear better in the dark. My ModWright Oppo 105 has "pure music" where the front panel lights are turned off, and I then turn off my Runco plasma monitor. I think it is pscho-acoustic, but I can concentrate, therefore, hear better in...
After doing a lot of research, my next amp purchase took me by complete surprise at how good it sounds. It is the Canary Audio/Magnus MA-300, a 600 watter for my Venture speakers. And, it is built in the good ol' USA! Here is a honest, well written review. I could not have written it any better...
PLEASE, take this as a personal journey, and not as an attack. I sold some very expensive gear ($32K Burmester 911 MK3 and $18K GNSC Wadia S7i). I look at some of the SOTA prices and cringe. Not because I can't afford it (I can), but because I seriously wonder about the bang for the buck factor...
I have not heard, but have read great things about these monoblocks.

As much as I love the pursuit of the high-end, and buy and sell to try and accomplish my audio goals, I sometimes get reminded why I am in this game. What brought this on? I have been actively involved in several threads regarding some SOTA gear, resolution theories, and some serious audio...
What I mean is for some of us, we like to combine tubes and solid state in the same system. Personally, I prefer a ss amp with a tube preamp. I realize recently the lines have blurred between the two camps, with each taking on some of the characteristics of the other. I have heard sota tube...
I did a search first and nothing came up. So, I want to warn members here. Came across this:

Hey people. I met online a engineer from Korea , A Dr. Lee, who is an avid Oppo 93 owner. He holds a Phd. in engineering, 30 years experience in broadcasting, and has written 4 technical books. He likes what Ayre did to the Oppo 83 with mods to the power supply, namely upgrading switch mode to...
I am using Transparent Reference cables with good results with my GNSC S7i. Care to share what you are using and if you have tried different cable to different effect? Also interested in what digital port do you use for serious listening when you use your Wadia as a DAC. I use coaxial RCA to my...
Has anyone compared/contrasted the LS, LSX and LSX V2 with the new boards? I am hard pressed to imagine a big improvement on the awesome CF-080 LX2. Sorry for the LX2 typo in the title.
