| Axpona observations Mt10425,Your comment on the Zu speakers is interesting.There are folks on this site who's opinions I respect think very highly of their Zu speakers. Yet time after time at shows they sound very disappointing. The sound is uninvolving hifi.Charles, | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Well stated Cerrot. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Bill,That is very good news. For those who find the Duelund CAST too expensive the Jupiter caps would be a wonderful alternative to improving their sound. The results I achieved with the CAST should be available to more music lovers.Charles, | |

| Blue Mitchell Harold Land and Richie Kumuca, I loved those guys, sigh.Charles, | |
| Blue Mitchell You have good taste, Blue Mitchell was a very fine trumpeter. I'll search for this recording on CD, thanks for the tip. I bet you'd like Kenny Dorham, another very talented trumpeter as well.Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD You're looking for music reproduced naturally. 1) One of current Lampizator DACs (level 7 with direct coupled DHTtube is their top model). A friend has their level 5 and it's excellent. 2) Concert Fidelity DAC, ( the latest has a battery powered c... | |
