Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference?
Stl114_nj: I echo your' sentiments, it has been great in helping me to discover new music. I love it. I bet your "Kid" setup is cool! 
Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference?
I paid for a year of premium service and yes it is better and definitely worth it. For me, I was not willing to pay for Sat radio with there ("no commercial"---"COMMERCIALS) if you get my meaning. I use it in the home at work and on my iPhone. Pan... 
How much improvement with better toslink cable?
Tos-link or Toshiba Link is every bit as good as spdif over wire IF and only IF you use a glass cable, It makes a HUGE difference. I used a plastic Tos into my Museatex Bidat and it sounded really bad (actually multiple plastic toslink cables) and... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I will keep everyone posted. I have a lot of audio related testing planned for 2010. 
PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport/DAC experiences
I agree they should have talked about the sound far more than they did. I will be purchasing one in order to test its' capabilities but I really want the bridge, I wish they would put a rush on it. People complaining about the screen makes no sens...

That was a good review, I think they liked it :)

Levy03 I will be doing comparisons in the coming few months of the PWD with the MSB Plat dac 3 and my modified Bidat I will be posting my findings on this site. 
Einstein The Final Cut vs. Graaf GM20 Mono
My uncle had the Einstein amp, he thought it was ok, he also had the Graaf Modena, which I bought from him. He never mentions the Einstein, but wishes he had not sold the Modena. Hope that helps. I am looking for a another Modena so I can bridge t... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I understand. I am very hard on preamps and I have only found a couple that I have found memories of. Best I ever heard period was my TRL pre, the Joule was ok, I hated my Sim Audio P5...etc. I want to try the Wyred 4Sound unit, a trusted buddy th...

FYI, my uncle has the PWT/PWD and he thinks it is the best he's owned period. It replaced the Wadia 931 processor. Before that he had the Esoteric P01VU and the D01VU with the G0-Rb (don't know if there was a VU version of the clock but if it exis... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
Hmm, I used to run my Bidat directly into the amp (I owned a Super Bidat in the late 1997-98) and my new Bidat which is currently with John Wright being converted to the Super and Plus updates (which by the way John informed is now both updates ro... 
Bel Canto Dac2 light always green... is it okay?
You're welcome. I leave most of gear on 24/7 except my Graaf Modena...tooo hot and too energy inefficient. My dacs and SS amps stay on all constantly. 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I agree Njedi I think the fact that you can use the MSB as a pre is awesome as I can directly feed my future TT though the MSB (should it win the contest) and have one less component in the chain. I really wish I could have one of those simple sys... 
Bel Canto Dac2 light always green... is it okay?
No, L.E.D's last for a very very very long time typically over 100K hours. It is locked because the DIP is doing it's job by providing a stable clock which will replace the clock from your' drive unit. You are all good, not to worry. And even if y... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I agree this is what makes the hobby fun. I have also decided to add a TT to my system in order to really be able to compare to my own analog front end. I have already compared my (pre modded) bidat to the SOTA Vac table (I think approc $5k) using...
