| General transport Question Getting a better digital cable is the answer. Transports make a difference but a better cable will offer greater improvements from my experience. Borrow a few from your local dealer and find out for yourself.Happy Listening. | |
| Which Audiologic dac was the first to go 24 bit? I thought that Jerry told me that the 24 chip was better when I was buying my used AL unit 34 that had the chip upgrade. I guess I was wrong. Hmmmm. I think I have some Amperex 6922 gold pins in the unit as well as some Amperex 7308s??? They sound... | |
| Which CD player should I go for? AA, EC, Audiomeca I had the Acc, Wadia and Opus 21 in my system driving direct and into a Counterpoint SA-5000 and Pass Labs X-1 preamp.

| Add a DAC vs. Upgrade CDP A good used DAC is what you should be shooting for in the $1000, I prefer the older Audio Logic tube DACs. Next the digital cable will be more important then your transport IMHO.Happy Listening. | |
| Ever used hybrid power amps? I had a Counterpoint SA-220 upgraded with the basic and some gold modifications. It is not as bloomy as the stock amp that I own but that could be due to using Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s in the stock amp. The modified amp is more natural sounding, fa... | |
| Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord? I have used the Elrod sig 3 on amps and have found it to be the power cord of choice for me and in other systems.

| Is 24/192 all hype? Sean is spot on here. Good sound from digital is mostly in how the design is implemented. I have found that transports are less important then a good dac and digital cable.Happy Listening. | |
