| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Do you really feel that a $650 unit is high quality compared to??? While the Node is a good sounding unit it is in no way high quality IMO. | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? For 5AR4 tubes, I have had success with 5R4 RCA and Sylvania purchased on eBay for under $30 per tube. This are the coke bottle looking tubes not the straight glass. I find the coke bottle tubes are better sounding in my system. The RCA is a ty... | |
