The best CD Player for the money
@Melbguy1-The Minis's astonishingly substantial and graceful in appearance at the same time. I am sure they are also a sonic force with which to be reckoned. Previously, my AMR CD77.1 served as player and USB DAC and was very capable. I am not con... 
Fuses that matter.
I suppose you're right Tbg...although now I want to order a set of the SR Reds! The Plinius requires 4 rail fuses and a mains. The rail fuses made much more of a difference than the mains....and, most manufacturers even recommend turning them arou... 
The best CD Player for the money
Melbguy1-Great info and amazing system. The Magico Mini is also on my list...the Vitus is a little beyond my reach, but I am intrigued with the Romulus. Have you used it as a stand alone DAC? I am loading up my new server and a one box solution wi... 
Help with Plinius
Email the US distributor-in Portland, OR. Great guy, super helpful and will get back to you. Frank Gazzofrank@pliniusaudio.comFabulous integrated BTW...fwiw I found the pre in the 9x00 series more musical. 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
I used Plinius for years and it was an awesome match for my Dynaudios. I owned the 8150 through the 9200 and, in my eyes/to my ears, they are eye catching ear candy. Bullet proof and perform well above their price point. The 9200's are generally i... 
Best Integrated, period.
I really liked the Karan KAI 180 and the Ayon Triton...probably would have kept the Triton, but it too hot for my home. 
Fuses that matter.
FWIW, a few years ago I went through a few of fuses for my Plinius SA201; HiFi Supreme, AMR and Furutech. The Furutech seemed the most balanced to me with the HiFi supreme more dynamic, but brighter especially in the high mids. The AMR was is a gr... 
Locus Designs Extol interconnect?
Albuquerque? 
Mad Scientist "NEO" Power cord
Hey Ozzy, are you still using the mad scientist cords? 
Locus Designs Extol interconnect?
They have in line Bybee filters.... 
AMR with Dynaudio?
Thanks for the post, Pdreher. I really all the info I could find on it and thought it might be a little bass shy. Otherwose, knowing their build quality and attention to detail and sonics, I have no doubt its a great sounding piece of gear.I had a... 
CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN
It's a little too much to search out a pricey transport as my use has really been by far mostly computer based for a year or more. The size of the AN works well for me....as does the Aune. I think the Music Vault Diamond using JRiver will really b... 
CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN
Thanks for the information and suggestions! I picked up an Audio Note One transport....although I still have some thoughts that the Aune/Hifidiy CDPro2 may be better.@Cable Designer-I have many after market cables and will be using the Stealth Var... 
USB DAC CDP: EAR Acute MkIII or Marantz SA11S3
Thanks G-house. You're right, that would be a good time! Environments count for a lot and even what you bring to the table when you sit down. My system sounds really nice to me...a little warm, lots of dynamics, detail and swing, And a huge sounds... 
USB DAC CDP: EAR Acute MkIII or Marantz SA11S3
Thanks for that suggestion. I'll see if I can find a place to listen to a TEAC although I've kind of moved towards the EAR in my mind. Aftermarket cabling is one of my passions and it's good to get some direction there, too. It seems balanced is t...
