| Is DEQX a game changer? Unsound, as far as I am aware DEQX does not make power amps, class D or otherwise. And I've seen no indications that HDMI inputs are or will be incorporated in any of their products. Regarding 24/192, in JA's measurements writeup that was presente... | |

| Funny and clever Axpona Ad Geoff & Zeph -- I must admit that your comments go over my head. Who are you saying is the same woman as whom? If you are saying that the guy's wife is the same woman as the dancer, I suspect that you've misplaced your glasses :-)BTW, it can b... | |

| Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please It need not be shielded because I dont live in the city area.I would not gamble on an unshielded phono cable, especially when used in conjunction with a low output cartridge such as yours. Regardless of the nature of the area in which you live, th... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Bruce,The revisions weren't specifically indicated, and it appeared that Nyal was just relaying information he received from DEQX which in turn didn't go into a lot of detail. But it sounded like the revisions were most likely just bug fixes sp... | |
