Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome
Raul: I have seen you warn against he 103R on several threads, and yet, I've seen many tens of posts from users saying they are a good performer and a great value. Can you detail for us your impressions of the 103R and why you warn against its use... 
McCormack DNA-225 Mods. Anyone?
Well, mine is scheduled to get the full treatment in January. Of course, I will give a full accounting of results.Yes, Steve McCormack is a prince to deal with. Most highly recommended as a person and as a designer of audiophile products.

Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued
