| Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods? If money is an option, as it is with most of us, I recommend auditioning the stock PSA-DL-III before spending money on the mod. If you can, do an A/B comparison with the stock unit and whatever digital source you are currently using. Upon doing th... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? The compilation album, "Decade" is a must. Of course, Harvest is the all-time Young studio classic. I love the MTV Unplugged DVD (not available domestically - check out the CD instead). Don't forget, "Comes A Time," which is also a classic. | |
| PS Audio DLIII Cullen Mod IV versus Benchmark DAC1 Deja,I own the PSA-DLIII DAC with the Cullen -Stage IV upgrade, which I recommend over the stage III version.

| Next step after B&W 802D I had the opportunity to listen to the Krell LAT-1000 series speakers, which were absolutely stunning. While, Ive not owned the 802s, I have heard them many times paired with exceptional equipment. The big Krells are truly in a different league.... | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Dave,Does the Krell double the output as the impedance halves? Do you find the 400 watts into 4 ohms sufficient to run your Resolutions 2's? | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? For me, the art of self-medicating, which I've efficiently honed over the years, has a lot of bearing on how and when the Audio Gods shed their light. My experiences attest to the fact that these Gods have a preference for lifes finer indulgences... | |
| New B&W Stick with what you like. It's all subjective anyway. Encountering the opposite opinion of how well ones components perform has a tendency to @#%! with an audiophiles head. Best not to post anything too controversial!!! | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Ozzy...Did you purchase both the cleaner and the UltraBit solution, or just the UltraBit solution - do you clean your discs prior to adding the UltraBit??There is quite a bit of online information regarding optical impedance matching. I guess my r... | |
| Data Transfer With USB vs Firewire Thanks Markphd.I have determined that my PC has the USB 2.0. I guess I won't need to worry about a hard drive with firewire - would have been nice, but I think USB 2.0 will suffice. I would appreciate recommendations for a decent external hard dri... | |
