Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter?
Synergistic Research makes some excellent products. I love it when people bash on them, especially having never tried any of their stuff. Don’t like them or don’t believe their stuff works? Your loss. @ozzy , please report back with your findin... 
Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. ASR panders to wannabes who can't seem to afford nice equipment, so they desperately seek approval/validation by claiming their $500 (insert piece of equipment here) sounds just as good as a $5k (insert... 
CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations?
@curiousjim , You do realize this thread is almost 20 years old, right? :)    
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
There are a handful of users on here that I would love to ignore, and never see another post or reply from them, ever. Kenjit is one of them.    
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
Interesting.      
Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne
@mahler123 ,  +1. That's a smoking deal.  
Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne
@bigmac1963 , I looked earlier and the Denon site is sold out of them at the moment. You might be able to find an online dealer who will price-match it, though. (Crutchfield, perhaps? I know they carry both Yamaha and Denon products.) Good luck ... 
Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne
"Both the Denon and Yamaha have very low jitter and harmonic distortion/noise floor. So why would they be expected to sound different? " Because they use different DACs? Because they use different power supplies? Because they're designed differen... 
Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne
Those 2 players don’t even remotely sound similar. I’ve used/heard both and the Denon is a little darker. Bass is more pronounced. The Yamaha is more crisp with more upper end sparkle. While both are good players, it ultimately comes down to wh... 
Happy Thanksgiving/ A peaceful holiday and hopeful message.
Amen.   Happy Thanksgiving fellow audiophiles!  
Digital is far better than vinyl
Yeah, thanks anyway. Hard pass from this guy.  
Open Baffle Experience
@kenjit , I invite you to come on over and hear what I’m hearing from my OB setup. You don’t have, nor have you ever heard a pair of properly set up OB speakers, have you? Your ignorance is monumental, and it’s showing. Might want to slow your r... 
What Gear Has Disappointed You?
Let's see.....what gear has disappointed me.... Emotiva ERC-4 CD player. Just......no. Returned to sender. Any of the Schitt DACs I have auditioned or tried. Just not a fan of the sound, feel or look of their products.  Marantz CD/SACD players.... 
Open Baffle Experience
I switched to OB speakers (Emerald Physics) a while ago, and I don't think I could ever go back to a box speaker. They need lots of room to breathe and placement can be tricky, but they sound absolutely glorious when you get them dialed in. Anyon... 
Best sounding CD player
@beeswax , "Man, I am really SICK AND TIRED of people doing everything but answering the question." You are spot on. And honestly, if people think their $600 CD transport is the "best", and "punches above it’s weight", a "giant killer", "compete...
