| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I have two close friends that run various iterations of the Io phono stage, and both use them in combination with the Callisto line stage preamp. Obviously these are made to work together and I can attest to the amazingly high quality sound that t... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - unequal volume The DK is a hybrid design using a pair of small signal tubes in the preamp section.

| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed Williewonka, thanks for posting the response from KLEI. While I understand their thought process and belief that their design is an excellent choice for digital applications, their plug still has one specific characteristic impedance and cannot th... | |
| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed From the review it appears that KLE has a nice sounding plug, but I find their response to Steve's inquiry about their impedance very puzzling to say the least. Regardless of their linearity at high frequencies, how can a single plug design "easil... | |

| DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE Williewonka, I don't have a MAC but on a Windows PC you just click on Play under the Previews header to hear an individual track. Then you can hit pause or stop on the player above. When you purchase the music you get 24/96 WAV files. | |
