| SolidSteel 5.4 equipment stand owners - question thanks everyone. I am going to take another shot at this tonight or tomorrow. I talked with the distributor and they also suggested to lube the thread. I have some WD40, I think it should do. They also suggested to use vic grip to thread the spike... | |

| Anybody have a problem buying modded units. Only mod I am planning on getting is on my McCormack amp and work is done by SMc. And I am only doing it because I plan to keep the amp for a long time. But in any case, when you try to sell a modded component, the resale value is mighty low. Not ... | |
| Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125 I use ARC LS-15 with my DNA-125. My friend uses Sonic Frontiers Line-1. Both sound great with this amp. Both are reliable preamps with excellent sonics. Best of luck. | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 vs Bel Canto Dac 2 ????????????? I compared the 2 dacs in my system for several days. I kept the Bel Canto DAC2 and shipped the Benchmark back. DAC2 is so much more fluid sounding. Full sounding midrange, very smooth highs and solid lows. Stage is way deeper that the Benchmark. I... | |
| Looking for an upgrade to my Ack Dack 2.0 Kevin, my bad...I totally forgot the Ack is battery powered. :)but, before you go the upgrade path, I think the dynamics, in case of your system, could be improved simply by upgrading a digital cable. Digital cables make a big difference. The cabl... | |
| What is My System Worth? Johnnymetal,to see what these components sell for currently just run a search of classifieds. If you come accross the same gear you're trying to sell, that should give you an idea what you can get for it. Good luck. | |
| Looking for an upgrade to my Ack Dack 2.0 what transport and digital cable you are using? What is the power cord on the amp, dac and transport?What headphones?If you list the associated equipment and your music choice it would be easier to pin the problem. | |
| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? what about the cables that are not in the recommended compnents list. I guess they are not any good, ha?besides, do you really think this will be a good match with his Siltech AES/EBU cable that connects the digital lens to MSB dac? | |

| Need help to trouble shoot the noisy amp. did you contact the manufacturer for advise? I wouldn't think that the color of wires is important. Most likely it's a bad transformer. If you put your ear next to where the power supply is on this amp and it buzzes and the other one doesn't, my g... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used My friend and I directly compared his Audio Mirror D2 with my Bel Canto DAC2 in his system. Bel Canto sounds much smoother. Has stronger bass and dynamic drive. It is also much more fluid sounding in the midrange. And is not as bright as Audio Mir... | |
| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? Virtual Dynamics NiteII and Master. | |
| Marantz SA8260 Stereophile rating was based on its primary playback medium, which is SACD. I heard this player in my friend's system for a long enough time to judge it. Its redbook performace, although not that bad, is very far from class A performance. I would ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Power Condtioners as far as I know, MOVs act like fuses when the surge protection kicks in. They get damaged and if they are damaged, they are done. They need to be replaced. Also, I read somewhere that they slightly degrade over time(don't remember where I read it... |
