| Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC : my experience Csmsart,Your comparision is consistent with what I usually hear. A top quality preamp improves the sound relative to a direct souce-amplifier route. As you pointed out, it just sounds more complete and realistic.Regards, | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Hi Brownsfan,Have these power cords produced similar impressive results with your linestage and other components or just specifically your Cary amolifiers?Regards, | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt,Your rating of the three levels of the HFC CT-1 caught my attention. I auditioned the CT-1E digital and know it`s superb(as you indicated).

| The Engineer's Shoes.. Well said Nonoise, love your analogy. | |
| The Engineer's Shoes.. Onhwy61,I'd agree there's more than one method or style of written communication .I find the more expressive form more beneficial in my case but realize this isn't true for everyone. Csontos, I don't think you understood my example at all.What you... | |
| Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade? Berkely,I have the copper CAST capacitor installed in my speakers and also a pair as coupling caps in my DAC.Their effect is undeniably significant. I can't phantom you'd be disappointed by any stretch of imagination . They're the epitome of purit... | |
| New preamp experience Hi Pdreher,Aren't you using the VAC REN 70 watt amp? Is there a sonic difference between the two Renaissance models besides the power? I'm curious as I usually prefer the lower power versions of otherwise identical amplifiers. But mine is a somewh... |
