The latest flavour of the month speaker
Remember the Art DI/O dac?Don't hear much about that "giant killer" anymore, mod'd or not. I'll admit I got caught up in the hype, but stopped short of buying one. You'll find that there are a small minority of people who change components as ofte...

Best balanced signal cable

Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
Spl,I bet the Classic is killer with the Premier, it seems T. Scheu really knew what he was doing. The Tacco is superb once dialed in, but also a bear to fine tune. Quite a hobby we've picked....
