| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Sheffield labs D2D recording of Tower of Power simply called "Tower of Power Direct". It has only six songs, and this is T.O.P. doing their known favorites in a live environment. I still get goosebumps listening to this nearly 40 years later. Go f... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system Another very positive "yes" for the Gustard R26 DAC. Brand new it’s in your price and sounds great. | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I have a Sony STJ75 That rarely gets used; Commercialized broadcast FM radio no longer cares about the listener's tastes.

I still own it. While in Europe I bought A Stanton 881S and a Micro acoustics 530MP. This was magnificent to my ears. I later bought a Shure V1... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE I don't have the budget a lot of you folks have; my DAC is a Gustard X16 and it has appreciated the changing of coax cables from my transports. My first was a Sppo 103D which also allowed me to play SACD through it. My second was an Emotiva ERC3D ... | |
| what cd player ? I have an Emotiva ERC3 that is a great transport to an external DAC; I second the comments here about upgrading the power cable and getting good isolation. The Audiolab CDT-6000 is another great way to get your toes in the water. I have a Gustard ... |
