Thoughts from Joule preamp owners?
My Joule LAP-150 SE preamp is off to Jud to get the next level of upgrade to the Platinum version. Sounds like it will be another big improvement. I can't wait to get it back. 
Anyone using "jumper" cables?
I use JPS Aluminata Speaker jumpers. They seem to work well with my speaker cables. Make sure you try both connections with your speaker cables. My system sounded better with the speaker cables on the treble side and the jumpers going to the bass ... 
Best amp for Dynaudio C4
I think you need some large amps to drive Dynaudio speakers. I own Eggleston Savoy speakers which have mostly Dynaudio drivers and I had a hard time choosing amps. The more power the better. I never felt I could get enough power in my large room. ... 
Whats a good power cord for the Sony XA5400ES?
I liked and used an Elrod power cord with my Sony XA5400ES. Elrod really helped the bass which I thought the Sony needed help with. I just sold my Sony and now I am using the Elrod on my new DAC. 
Ideas re Spectron mated to Joule-Electra
I love the combo together. I started with LAP 150 MKII and then had it upgraded to SE version. The SE version tightens the bass and increases the top air. I had to change cables but I like the sound better now.

I will be there. I would be interested in getting together and listening to different systems. 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
If you are in my neck of the woods, come by and take a listen for your self. I have both cables and don't plan to get rid of one.lee 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
I only know about running a usb cable from the computer main board to the DAC8. My music server only has an internal 2 TB disk drive SATA II connected and no external usb disk drives. So I can't help you Ozzy. If you figure it out report back as I... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
I am currently using an Audio Research DAC8 connected to an usb music server and I can tell you there is a big difference in sound quality of usb cables. I have been using an Audioquest carbon usb cable. It is a very good usb cable and I would rec... 
Internet radio stations that sound really good
You guys should check www.kdrplive.org Monday night for the Larry Monroe broadcasting Blue Monday. It is a great program. 
Audio Research DAC8: any end user feedback???
I have an Audio Research DAC8 and I have built a music server. This has turned into an interesting project. I really am starting to like the ease of using the music server. All your music at your finger tips. I still have a ways to go.I tested the... 
VPI Aries versus VPI Classic
I do not think my Aries I is bright. I have heard my table playing at the Dealers' after setup in the same location as the Classic table. We uplugged the classic and plugged in my Aries. My Aries was better but I think I had a better cartridge. 
Museatex Bidat DAC & Transport
I have another problem, with the Melior CD-D transport in that the transport motor does not seem to spin the CD. I think the box was bounced in shipping. I worried there will not be any parts to fix this unit. I have sent an email to John Wright. ... 
Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?
I would then try to borrow some different speaker cables to try. Speaker cables will probably make a bigger difference in sound than interconnects any way. If you don't have anybody local try John at the cable company. There fees are fairly small.... 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
I am way over my head here with the techincal issues but I have owned Sonic Fronteirs Power 3 amps with KT88s for years before I switched to Spectron monoblocks. I due love the midrange of the KT88s but I feel the transparency is better in the Spe...
