CD transports
Get the Project transport.  I have compared, owned, upgraded over 50 transports.  The project was the best sounding I have heard to date.  The Jays is a different sound that the Project but also a very good option.  Anyone who feels that a transpo... 
Cd transport
The best transport was the project- audio transport now around $3300.  I have owned, repaired, compared close to 50 transports.  Anyone who claims that there are no differences in sound quality unfortunately just has not had the experience.  The J...

Crimping tool?
Why limit yourself to a cheap tool.  You get what you pay for right? A few good suggestions above but not the wirer stripper tool, that is a piece of junk IMO and we have tried many.    
Too much power?
Just because you have the same manufacturer but two different models, does not mean that they will sound the same. The old Adcom smaller amps sounded better than the more powerful models.  You need to be happy with your choice and move on if that ... 
What is your opinion of single driver speakers
Single driver speakers can sound amazing.  For example filed coils to me are exceptional. Matching to the right amp also helps.  845, 45, tubes amps and some 1 watt amps make such speakers sound amazing.  Uping the price the horning speakers are a... 
Kal was right!
what are you using to five the Vandersteen 5As and what difference do you hear with the Perlisten speakers? Good luck with the new speaekrs.  
Thor ta-1000 pre cap replacement -- advice
only a few options of v-caps left.  Copper or ODAM  the Odam have worked very well in upgrades/modifications we have performed.  
When were the best tube amps made?
IMO the older amps benefited from better transformers.  Think Dynaco.  In repairing audio components for close to 30 years now, the transformers have stood the test of time but the circuit boards have generally failed.  Each manufacturer from back... 
I have an idea for an audio product what should I do?
First of all, unless your idea is something so good, no person will back you and finance your project.  You would have to build a prototype and show that it is better than other manufacturer products.  It is difficult to build a prototype and brin... 
Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ?
@lalitk - we have a older pair of Horning speakers in our Listening Room now.  With the 1 watt power amp we built, the mid-range was amazing.  We may have had placed them too far into the room for bass response, so they did not shine in that area ...

Hi-end audio is a big zero
@cdc - this is exactly why as a manufacturer of audio components, we set-up our own Listening Room.  We encourage people to come here our systems and also to bring their own equipment so that they can hear what things could sound like in their own... 
Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?
Used FM Acoustics that I am selling for $3000.  AL the others above cannot compete.   Happy Listening.
