    Lampizator big7 (2015) vs Holo Spring3 kte (no preamp)DAC

    Welcome. Sorry I can't offer any help. I have a Holo Audio May KTE and I like it, but I'm sure the higher end Lampis are better, but also 10x more expensive.

    Anthony Cordesman RIP

    Sad. He was an accomplished man and I liked his reviews.

    First High End Turntable

    Not that it matters, but I’m kinda curious—Do you know if the origin of the HiFi Buys big box chain was in Muncie, IN? The HiFi Buys I mentioned above carrying high end was in a house on Wheeling close to McGalliard in the mid-70s, then moved across Wheeling to the strip mall in the late...

    Ray Samuels Phono Stage?

    Thanks. I still have the Samuels stage, but in fact did give up and move to a Wavestream Kinetics tubed phono stage. The Samuels could sound fantastic, but was prone to some sort of warbling noise that I could eliminate sometimes but not all the time.

    Another choice for pure silver in Teflon/air dielectric is Darwin Cables. https://www.darwincables.com/darwin-cable-specials

    First High End Turntable

    That was quite a store when it was in the house c1975. Still good when it moved to the strip mall across the street, but then sold the name or something and became just another electronics store.

    Power Cords for Sound Lab Speakers

    I popped in a pair of Shunyata NR cords powering my 745s. They sounded better than stock. No looking back. Just wish they were a foot longer.

    USB for ProUSB

    @luca.pelliccioli I'm afraid I don't have much of value to add, other than I am using the recommended Intona Reference 1.5m recommended by Emile of Taiko Audio. I'm happy with it and haven't thought about USB cables since installing it.
