Grounding Hum
I had a hum on my TT as well. Had to crank the volume up a bit, but it was there. Turns out it was my TT lite. I unplugged it from the Richard Grey 1200s (the lite) right under the phone stage to the shunyata hydra on the floor and hum is down 90%...

What footer best under cd player
I do agree that all would sound different in different systems. I had Finite Elements Cera Pucs under my Esoteric X-03 SE, which were better than the stock feet (better bass-tighter, better focus). I changed them to the Walker Audio Valid Points (... 
First Steps into Computer Audio
USB does not stream, it transmits packets. That's the problem. USB was created in order to connect peripherials, ie printers, scanners, etc. Firewire, on the other hand, was created for audio. There is quite a bit of info on the net explaining the... 
First Steps into Computer Audio
Fire Wire.USB is for printers. 
20 amp cable for Shunyata hydra 8
I use the Python, and am very happy with it. Wide, deep, black soundstage; excellent retrieval of low level detail. The nuances are soo obvious. Gentle brush strokes, you name it. Perfect match. Shunyata does ggreat with a whole system approach. G...

your reference dvd
Charles, you MUST go the Bluray route. If you can do 1080P, thats great but you must do the new audio codecs. WOW! 
I want to use an OTA HD antenna...
I used to have a Channel Master with AMP back in the day before Cable & Satelite broadcasted the local channels in HD; best HD picture I have seen was with my OTA antenna. Blew away both cable and Direct TV. It's in storage now as the locals a... 
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
I just spent the last three weeks tweaking my turntable-re-leveling, re-calibrating speed; bought new, upgraded tone arm cables (broke them in), got a stylus gauge to lock in the VTF, spent a few days with walley tools adjusting & optomizing V... 
Jazz Heritage Society - How do they sound?
Thanks. I will. 
It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is?
I enjoyed it and picked up some great tips. I went out and bought a vegetable brush (to clean my brushes) and static guard for the rug. No more needing to touch my rack before I touch my rig. Also learned some better techniques for cleaning, etc, ... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
How long was the drive, and how cold was it. How did you pack it up for the drive (original box, placed in trunk, on passanger seat?) I have heard of caps needing to acclimate to room temperature (coming in from the cold) before you should power t... 
Jazz Heritage Society - How do they sound?
