| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) Marantz CD60 should be pretty nice. Look for an open box at music direct or upscale audio, could be a good deal. I would stay away from old used players. Transports go bad and then you’ll be screwed. | |
| Cartridge Alignment See if Audio Connection in Verona offers this service. Otherwise if you have a good protractor and a stylus force gauge it isn’t that difficult to do. Out of curiosity, what table and cartridge? | |
| Hegel H160 and Focal Electra 1008Be sounding bass-less You put 50hrs on the amp in 6 years? Usually amps and most other components need about 200hrs to sound their best.

| Power Amp Recommendations for B&W 803 Nautilus I had great results with McCormack DNA-225 and Pass X250.5 when I had my N803s. Preamps were ARC LS-16, ARC LS-25 and ARC Ref 1. | |

And for several reasons - I questioned the unbelievable clutter to improvement ratio of FMC FMC units, despite adding LPS will still... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @j_andrews Network Acoustics sells direct. Email them what your set up consists of. They’re very helpful. | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @toro3 only way to find out is to try. @wjob yup had same exact experience with fiber and Bricasti M3. Had that glsre. Ended up using the Eno alone, sent fiber FMC back. | |
| Another cable question @bikeboy52 yup. Ever since I put an AQ Hurricane on my Puritan PSM156 power conditioner I’ve become a huge fan. Next I bought an AQ Tornado for the amp (plugged into wall) that I just recently moved to my Bricasti DAC when I bought a Hurricane for... | |
| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) $2000 is a tough budget for a good Class A amp. Your choices will be limited to older amps like the Krell KSA or the Plinius. The KSA are great amps but old which means you will be sitting on a time bomb. Rebuilding those amps will be expensive. ... | |
| Another cable question @bikeboy52 I use AZ Absolute Copper between DAC / preamp and preamp /amp. Fantastic cables! I have tried AZ Absolute Silver as well as AZ Silver Ref II in place of one of the Absolute Coppers and preferred Absolute Copper every time. I have also t... | |
