| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport A friend of mine had a CEC transport (TL1) and the PWT. The CEC was very good and the belt drive is a nice story. It didn’t outperform the PWT to either of us, just a different presentation. So not surprised that the Pro-Ject transport is preferr... | |

| Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS I’d be extremely surprised if a 200.00 USD DAC has the same quality chassis construction, power supply, part quality and analogue output stage (Also well thought out I/V conversion) implementation as a 4 figure priced DAC/CD player. All of these ... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? @devilboy, Good additional point and further incentive if someone like @jumia truly wants to sort out the issue of cable performance/sound quality. The opportunity and resources are readily available. Charles | |
