Hi Sean- I'm interested too!Thanks,Dan 
Tony Furtado, check this guy out
Slappy- I always enjoy your posts. Like most of us however, you need help :) 
Audiophile Special Event Songs Weddings, etc.
Wow- I hope no women see this thread and accuse us of sensitivity! Forgive me for taking a VERY different tack here, but this particular musical performance was not at a wedding...but did occur on a special- and very somber day. I don't share this... 
How international is your system?
Hey Sean- What's the phone number at your local pawn shop? 
Audiophile Vs. Techfile
Gunbei- You can't turn the audiophile gene off OR prevent passing it to your children.... Case in point: I recently decided to replace my 5 year old daughter's Sony Boombox with a much smaller unit that would look better on her dresser. After tryi... 
Headphone Amp Question not a HD600/RS-1 debate
I've owned a Grado RA-1, Headroom Max (Latest Version), Sugden Headmaster, Creek OBH-11, Gilmore V2, and Musical Fidelity X-Cans v2- All used to drive Sennheiser 600's with the Cardas Headphone Cable.On the solid state side, I liked the Sugden bes... 
digital amps
I have owned the Bel Canto Evo 200.2 and the Pass Labs X-250. The Bel Canto was actually an impressive performer- It presented a deep soundstage with very little high-end grain. It also generated NO heat.That said, my Pass X-250 is hotter than hel... 
X-CANS V-2- Help with tube upgrade questions
Thanks Viridian! Have you personally used the Hosfelt unit, and if so, can you tell me which one works with the X-Cans V2? I read in Stereophile that Sam Tellig was recommending something like this but some people reported that it destroyed the am... 
Anyone noticed tiny cracks on the Pink Floyd SACD?
The discs with "US" at the end of the item number are susceptible to the spindle cracks, from what I've heard. It happened to mine....I exchanged it for a non-US pressed item, and have had no problem. I don't know if the failure is a flaw in mater... 
The passing of another legend...
I remember my excitement when I first assembled my DH-200 Amp and the 110 Pre-Amp...I was a young kid with nearly zero disposable income, and I was so proud to be the owner of Hafler equipment. Guys like Hafler confirm that, although no-one gets o... 
Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K
Just my opinion madfab200, but I don't believe true "live" music sound can be achieved at 100 times that amount! I have a pretty good system, worth more than I care to admit, and it's not even close to live piano in a room. That said, however, the... 
Pre-Amp Recommendation
Sim Audio P-5. An audio "work of art" in my opinion. Wonderful sound, built like a tank, and beautiful to boot. 
Has anyone tried Signal Cable?
I found Frank at Signal Cable to be very responsive, and his stuff is an outstanding value for the money. And that's the thing to remember, in my opinion, about Signal Cable products.Outstanding value aside, I did not find the power cable or the i... 
One more Power Cord Needed...Advice?
I've found the Audience PowerChord to perform well on my digital front end. Of course like any cable discussion, power cable threads evoke many opinions..... Is this a great hobby or what?Enjoy your search.
