| My stereo Congratulations. Forever systems usually last at least 90 days. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) oxymoron. | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos I sometimes wish I aspired to achieve sound at the level of youtube. | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC DAC is the heart of the modern system. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum III Shrieking. Did you unplug the tuner? If it only happens on one input, then what is hooked to it is suspect. I believe that a tuner input is nothing different than a normal input so all that is upstream of the selector switch is wire. Not likely to scream.... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Do you really need an integrated? Many people don't. I use my DAC as my pre and VC when I don't have my Transformer VC. I do have 2 inputs to my amp so I can also use it with HT. If you don't really need an integrated, a simple point to point... | |

| Audioquest DBS - What Voltage? Do you have a circuit diagram for these cables? | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers You need 4 wpc at most. I've looked at those speakers seriously to match with SET amps. Buy a 200 wpc amp and listen to the first watt. My experience is the makers of 200 wpc amps don't pay enough attention to watt number 1. Jerry | |
