Meeting up at RMAF this year
My idea would be to find someone on here who is also a member of the Colorado Audio Society (http://www.coloradoaudiosociety.org), which is a main sponsor of RMAF. They will have the knowledge and ability to make all the arrangements for us.So...a... 
Meeting up at RMAF this year
David,You *must* come to RMAF. I could keep you occupied for a whole day just asking about the truths of the British medical system. We're being told you guys basically euthanize people over age 58 (unless they are deemed "productive enough" to li... 
Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ?
A third for the APC units. I have had the S10 since the month it was introduced on the market, and it both protects my equipment and manages not to do anything audibly negative to the sound of my system. Until last year the unit protected not only... 
Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV?
I have the Samsung HL67A750 and love it.It isn't as bright as flat-panel LEDs, but phenomenal nonetheless. 
McCormack DNA225 upgrades
Hi5,I have a DNA-125 with every mod Steve offers for the 125/225. My recommendation is to save your money until you have enough for the Platinum upgrade and then go for it. Adding ARC-1 and ARC-2 give you better bass control, and are definitely wo... 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
I question whether downloadable HD movies will come to pass, but I hope they are the wave of the future if for no other reason than that occurrence likely would mean Time Warner (and everyone else waiting in the wings) to place caps on bandwidth h... 
Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what?
Gregg Straley Reality Cables are in the same price range and have been superior to the 8TCs in three iterations of my stereo system and my HT. I've since moved on from them, but they spent a good 3-4 years in my system; maybe they'll be your ticke... 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions
I must confess I'm confused as well; I read the sentence as the DIN output bypassing the attenuator circuitry on the Opus 21, allowing the signal to pass more directly to a preamp. 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions
Ardri,I've done a good bit of research on this topic lately, as I run a CDP directly to my amp. Here are the two key points I've gotten from the preamp advocate camp:1. a preamp greatly increases the soundstage depth (though the advocates disagree... 
cabling suggestions with Ayon
There has been some discussion about the frequent use of Gabriel Gold cables with Ayon. I'm running Raptures between my CD-2 and amplifier, and it's awesome. 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
FWIW, I constructed a set of cable risers that are cheap versions of the RSAD risers Robert mentions above. I had some frustrating moments but they work great and look nice.I noted that my system sounded "cleaner" across the audio spectrum with a ... 
Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions?
Glad to hear you like the CD-1/Rapture combo. Those custom two-box speakers you have look great! With the Revelator drivers you must be in heaven.I've talked to three people who have heard the CD-1 and the CD-2. All three indicated the CD-2 is a s... 
Benefit of Tube Dampers/Coolers on 6H30?
Slowly. I've had to travel quite a bit for work, and the unit is headed back to the dealer to have an XLR output repaired that was damaged in shipping to me. I got the system to sound much better by adjusting the speaker positions. I'm still not s... 
PCs - Differences between Valhalla and Dream?
John,Thanks for your note! The other reason I'm not yet moving in the Enchanter direction is the acquisition of the Ayon Audio CD-2. It's a 6H30-based tube player and might not be as good a fit as the Enchanter was on the Cary 303/300, which I use... 
Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions?
Not in my case. I purchased a pair from Gary ("Glory") before I called about the CD-2.I've not heard of any link between any of the players from Ayon Audio, AyonUSA/USA Tube Audio, and Steve at GG.
