Aurios vs Stillpoints, any experience?
Here is a reply I got from someone who has used the AUrios, Stillpoints and the IsoBase that a local designer in New Jersey builds, hope it is useful.Only got finished setting up the Isobase at the end of the week. The Isobase is excellent and bet... 
What can you tell me about Metronome players?
I heard my friends Metronome the one with the tube(s) in it and remote volume control. It was nice for the used price he paid a few years back $1600 or so. I have heard the newer two box Metronome but I think at the new higher prices, there are no... 
Power Cord for Sony SCD-1
The LC-1 is a very natural sounding PC. If you want to warm things up a bit look for the Audeince, BMI Whale or the best so far has been the Elrod Sig 3.Happy Listening.

Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier
The Linar is a very nice amp but as a new company, you have to think about resale value down the road in my opinion. It was very open sounding, dynamic and natural sounding. I did not get a chance to compare it to the Sim Audio W-5 directly. For t... 
Electric guitar cable?
JPS Labs and Audience both make guitar cables but I never tried any yet. I gues if I was recoding or play out a lot, I would try one but I am not doing too much of that now.
