I’ve got none of them. In fact my system is pretty fucking terrible compared to everyone else’s here, but then it was bought on a seriously tight budget.

Yeah, but, you’re not a moderator, are you ? :roll_eyes:

I believe real mods either don’t turn their systems on or most of the important bits are broken, lost or sold (possibly all three). Points are deducted for having to leave your kit in the loft because the gara.. listening room is too small.

The XO boxes do lend themselves to bi-wiring although most people just link at the box.
Also that Hitachi cable was relatively cheap, I have never heard of anyone bi-wiring with Kondo silver :grinning:

I know :grin:
I tried single wired with jumpers and…

Currently enjoying Spotify through a Volks Audio streamer, finally got around to installing the plugin into Volumio.

Sounds good :notes:.
