| Solid core XLR interconnect recommendation (up to 300$ for a used 8ft pair) ? Build your own three strand braid like Kimber.I’ve used this cable making my own braid and it sounds wonderful.

Hope he/she bought a dozen of them.... | |
| Turntable Upgrade The NAD phono preamp is a good little unit for the money and I’m guessing it’s at least as good or better than the one in your integrated unit. If it was me I’d keep your table and look at getting a better phono preamp that works in your budget. I... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Looks like a decent table to start with. What’s your budget and what does the rest of your system consist of? If you’re looking at an entry Pro-Ject table for example you might be better keeping what you have. If you’re looking to spend much more ... | |
| Just Got My Oppo 205! byang12Thanks for sharing what you did to your 205.I get your point taking a player and spending more on the mods than the original cost of a player. Years ago I recall Lexicon took someone else’s player and basically just throw a thick metal face... | |
| Anyone bought direct from ps audio and returned it? You have dealers within three hours if you want to make a weekend trip to see and hear the product first. The guys in Iowa will take care of you. Surprised no dealer in Minneapolis... Paul needs to get on this. | |
| Just Got My Oppo 205! byang12I doubt browndt is a Modwright employee pushing their mods, but a happy customer. I have not heard the Oppo players with Dans mods but a person who has owned two of their preamps and still own the later I can say they are outstanding and gr... | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used Modwright SWL 9.0 Anniversary EditionModwright LS-100(Owned an earlier SWL 9.0 and moved up to the LS 36.5)Strongly recommend the older 9.0 against any ARC used under $2500; can’t speak for the current 9.0 but I’m sure it’s better. Modwright’s hav... | |

| Upgraded DB-25 Cables for Power Alex of Wywires might make a DB-25 embillical cord. Wywires makes the embillical power cord for Modwright which many praise. Very happy with my Wywires PC’s. If you email Wywires, Alex will call you back if you add you phone number. He’s very help... | |
| Bi wire, bi speaker/amp I’m not familiar with your speaker cables but had some Ixos IC’s years back. I’d say your equipment easily warrants some better cables. I’m not sure what your gaining by using both A and B speaker terminals to one set of speakers though; maybe I’m... | |
| I have been using the Cambridge 851 CD player for a few years and want more. I use an 851C as well and was pleasantly surprised how much it improved with the Synergistic Black fuses; there are two. I also run a Nordost Vishnu PC which really brought out how good this player is. No doubt a DAC could improve things, but I’d ... |
