If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
knock1 Well, if you followed the thread from the beginning, you probably noticed that A LOT was going on regarding opinions on cables. The sense of my reply is: you can change cd transport and have different sounds for the same Dac, for sure, bu... 
If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
Hi all, I bought a ProJect RS2T for my Border Patrol Dac. Never had anything else to compare, as I'm more into analog and just wanted a good transport under 2.500 eur (I live in Poland) without visiting 20 dealers and here for 2.000 eur you can ge... 
Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500?
Hi, it's absolutely possible, I would start from finding a used NAD 3020 amplifier. Or an used REGA IO. One of these 2 would provide just the amount of watts you need for a small room and sounds amazing still today. Then add a pair of TANNOY T2 sp... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Quite proud of how the local administration of my city, Krakow, handled this situation with Roger Waters. He was supposed to play here a couple of weeks ago, but he has been declared as "persona non grata", so he just cannot play anymore. People w... 
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
Hi, Without any doubt Triode Wire Labs cables. The lesson I've learnt after buying them is that people in most cases don't need a new amplifiers or new speakers, just a good power cord or good cables. For the Dac the "Digital American" is highly... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
In case you need a big bookshelf speakers, time ago I enjoyed for quite a long period a couple of Wharfedale Evo 4.2. Great midrange, solid, punchy bass, not the most dynamic speaker but a steal for their price. Plus they look so beautiful and wel... 
Best Phono Stage
Modwright PH 9.0  
Those that upgraded from Tekton
I can just recommend you to buy the Cornwall IV and never look back. It's a terrific speaker, I've been owning a pair for 6 months and I still think at that price it's hard to find anything better, at least I couldn't. They are engaging and refine... 
Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet
@terry9  Thank you so much for your post, that's the kind of information that rewards hours and hours spent on audiophile's forums. I will definitely try an isolation transformer, never thought about that before:)  Do you recommend any in partic... 
Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy
Seriously, keep it... or move to the XA25  
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
My two cents here:   1 Room 2 Speakers 3 Source 4 Preamp/Power Amp (depending on speakers, a good integrated with few watts can be enough) 5 Power cords 6 Speakers cables    
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
Volti Razz without any doubt. But if you have space Cornwall IV without any doubt or hesitation.  
Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs
Hi, I've been testing the Forte IV with many amps... Rega Io, Audio Reveal junior, Musical Fidelity Ms6i, Primaluna Evo 300, Pegaso P50A, Unison Research Simple Italy and Leben CS300f. The PL was very impressing, the sound was very balanced and co... 
New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :)))
@ uncleang thanks a lot for all specs... sounds like I have to plan a trip to Germany to audition a couple of Walsh 3000 and 4000 
New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :)))
@uncleang thanks for great recommendations... I ll send a message to the dealer in Germany... They probably have the same policy regarding eventual returns... So unless I go to Berlin for trip, I could at least try the 3000 or 2000 at home and dec...
