Point of higher priced streamer?
No point at all for sound quality, get a node 2i 
Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore?
Yes, I like to speak with a seller before I buy. If a seller does not have time to speak with me (as happened recently here) then I do not have time to give him my money. 
Single power interconnects
Stay away from SinglePower. Many people, including myself, have had horrible dealings with Mikhail. Bottom line, he is a liar and a cheat, but he comes off like your best friend. You can't believe a word out of his mouth.I do have some of the cabl... 
New filter/regenerator
Nsgarch,I assume you have the ExactPower? Did you notice any loss in attack/punch using the unit. The PPP, Isoclean, Shunyata have all really negatively impacted my music. But I think I do have some power issues so would like to use something. The... 
Power Plant Premier making sound worse?
I had a PPP for a bit in my system and it did what most of the conditioners I have owned (Isoclean, Sound Application) or demoed (Hydra V8) did, it sucked the punch and liveliness from the music. It just softened everything.However, I did demo a P... 
audiophile music servers the latest products, info
I recently received my upgraded APL NWO 3.0 SE back from Alex and it has a modded Squeezebox Duet installed inside. It is not really a fair comparison at 2x the price of the MP (the one with the DAC), but I would venture to guess it could handily ... 
Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910
Swampwalker, please do report back. I am one of those stuck with an NWO that is not functioning properly.I do think Alex will return or let us know where to get our units repaired, but when is the question. He has been gone since May or June (can'... 
Super Dac under $20K?
Starcon,Can you say more about the new Reimyo. Do you know if it sounds like the CDP-777? What else have you compared it to?Thanks,andy 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Well, I finally received the Enigma and let me just say that I am shocked by the result. It is hard to believe that something which is not formally in the sound chain could have this type of impact. The impact I speak of is just as Ted describes i... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Joey,Yes, i am surprised too. Ted wrote me separately and told me that they might not have an effect in my system because i only use headphones (very high-end stuff). This makes no sense to me, but i am not technically savvy here. In my mind, i sh... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Yes, one of my T3 lights went out and I sent it to SR for repair.Couldn't tell you if the Active Shielding is working or not since i hear no difference with or without in my setup (MPCs into wall), but i do not have a Quattro. My Enigma should be ... 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
Ehider,Sounds like you are talking about a music server which utilizes USB because you mentioned streaming? If not, what about the playback software and EMI/RF issues with PC playback. These have a huge impact on sound. Will there be a special PC ... 
Why use CD Transport instead of computer source
I have been wanting to move to a pc-based front-end for awhile and have had the Transporter in the house before (returned due to defect). I have an EMM SE stack which just far surpasses the stock Transporter (wav files only). But, Alex of Alphifi ...

Music Servers VS Excellent Transports?
Steve,Thanks. Yes, it is a lot of money, but not nearly as much as the EMM transport if you look at it that way. And the ease of use is much better. I just wonder if there are other issues at play. I am not an engineer. I think people like Alex at...
