| CD Transports I'll second the audiolab 6000cdt as well as the Marantz HD-cd1. I own both and they are of equal quality as a transport. I switch them out now and then and they both run into a v90 dac by musical fidelity which sounds terrific and is also on stere... | |
| New TT or upgrade cartridge/platter on Project DC The pro-ject classic evo with the quintet red moving coil would be a nice upgrade.

| Feeling Tweaky So now books are bad in a listening room? Can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone ever say this. My take, a combination of reflective and absorbing materials in an average room will in essence average out the sound period. All this room treatment crap is... | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables I'm loving my AQ THUNDER 1 meter cable plugged into my AQ Niagara 1200....plus my AQ X3 cables used for my sources, sacd/cd & dac.....I've no reason to buy anything else, sounds nice to my ears. | |

| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less Just buy a $299 musical fidelity v dac 90. You would save tons of money and still get a great sounding dac.
