| Time For a CD Player Upgrade If I were you I would get a CDT/DAC combo such as CEC TL5 CDT (directly from Japan)/Gustard A26 or SMSL SUX DAC(directly from China) for less than $2000, instead of spending that much to upgrade your CDP... the S.Q. is far better than any CDP and ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison The most important rule of thumb when buying a Chinese made DAC/CDP/CDT. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN $1000 if you do they'll keep pushing up the price. | |
| Six DAC Comparison What’s the problem with naming the USA DAC that presumably was in your system and cost 10 times the cost and underperformed the SMSL?/// Because I know the person who owns the company and don't want to hurt his business. ///Also, you made the ge... | |
| Six DAC Comparison """Curious do you have the SMSL and/or Gustard in your system? Also, which specific 10X more expensive DACs have you had in your system; and in what respects the 2 aforementioned outperformed each of the 10X more expensive ones?""" Yes I had the ... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing """This is about unboxing cables and if it makes him happy then I’m all for it.""" I'm an active EE and don't believe what the op claims "a power cord can make such a huge impact on sound" nothing but a waste of money. But I concur with you that... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp A good preamp has to be very transparent and ultra linear Y=aX (a: the gain factor) to benefit. Added your normal preamp is a step sideways and evern down from running the DAC direct (if the unit has a volume control) you many want to invest in a ... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? >>>Once the P5 is sold>>> first things first then shop for a nice 2-channel amp it's the way to go | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Looking to spend up to $2,000 for 3m speaker cables and up to $700 each for RCA and XLR cables. Again, I hope to buy used.

| Six DAC Comparison Must include the SMSL SUX and Gustard A26... these $1000 Chinese made DACs totally outperform 10X more expensive DACs made in USA or UK. | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports The CEC TL5 is the way to go... amazing sonic/built quality. You can buy one under $1000 shipped to your home (directly from Japan). Jays Audio CDPs and CDTs are stupidly overpriced Chinese audio products. Don't buy. (i love $1000 SMSL SUX and G... | |
| Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review The best power conditioner is NO power conditioner... nothing between the wall receptacles and the audio unit, except for a power cord The best power power cord is the stock power cord that comes with the unit | |
| Furutech Lan 8 NCF "you need 300-400hrs burn-in due to their alpha cryo process." that's how you miss the return deadline and your brain starts acting weirdly to believe... and that's what they ask you to do when they sell you snake oil |
