| Which CD with Volume control up to $3500 I compared the Opus to the Waida Stock 861 and the Wadia was my favorite. The Opus is very dynamic and sounds really good but the Wadia was better. The Opus also need a better power cord to compare. That being said, I think the Cap MKII is slightl... | |
| Need Help with Dacs. There are a ton of great used DACs under $1,000. Audio Logic is one of them. Find an older 34 that has the chip upgrade.Happy Listening. | |
| Best Jazz Albums George Benson - Bad Benson is one of my favs.Happy Listening. | |
| DCCA PC stiffness? Why not just ask them to send you one to hear on your system. They sound really nice.Happy Listening | |
| Advice on a speaker purchase I hate to say this but spend as much time at different dealers getting exposed to what sound each design offers. You also have to keep in mind that the speakers need to mate with your amp, which IMO is the most important issue to consider. Bring y... | |
| Stupid Question-What's the best way to choose? First off, get dediated lines and install better outlets. Second, install DIY noise reduction. Last, try power cords. I do hear differences in the various power cords but those differences were greatly reduced one I implemented the first two steps... | |

| CDP or DAC I vote for a DAC. Great used ones show up all the time. Audio Logic, Chord 64, etc. You'll need a good digital cable.Happy Listening. | |

| Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ? You are all over the place and have not defined what you are lookig for. Musical can mean different things to different people. We don't know your system or musical tastes for starters. You may only need a 100 krell versus a McCormack 225. Plus as... | |
| Speakers in the range of $3 to $4.5k per pair? First you did not tell us your musical preference, the sound you are looking for, what your system sounds like now and what you are trying to improve. I could recommend monitor size speakers or floor standers, but I do not have a clue to what you ... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? Agree and disagree with some of you. When I was looking at preamps I found that many of the high end preamps had just OK volume pots. When I was looking for a replacement volume pot for my preamp, I researhed what the manufacturers were using vers... | |
| Amperex 6922 overkill? Agree with Tvad. Buy a few on E-Bay or start with the Amperex Bugle Boy Holland 6DJ8s for around $10 each used listed on Agon now to see if you like them first. You can always resell those and move onto the orange globes, pinch waist, gold pins, e... | |
