| rca plugs - comparisons? Quite right Rodmann, that's what we did and see that you have good and firm metal to metal contact before using your solder. | |
| rca plugs - comparisons? MrT,your idea per se may be sound. We've trodded similar paths around here. Only you forgot to mention that the technician must be a master solderer. If he is not, and there is a difference in soldering from plug to plug, you'll be listening to so... | |
| Buying expensive used CD player/transp = bad idea? According to the experience I have made with the Zanden combo, the dcs chain and Steve Nugent's USB DAC, I completely agree with Shadorne. I would follow his advice, if I were you and put PC audio into the equation even if it at first complicates ... | |

| Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters Abucktwoeighty,As a matter of fact, once you're senile, it does not matter which is which. Main thing your hearing is still good! | |
| Long USB Cable OK? According to my experience I agree completely with Al. After much experimentation I use 4m of a Monster USB cable without any sonic detriment. | |

| Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters I still think it is contrived, not even brilliantly, but rather highbrow mainstream, what the so called expert critics like, there is not gut feeling in it, nothing to get under your skin, just tickles your grey matter a bit to be soon forgotten a... | |
| Foobar 2000 or MediaMonkey v.3? Monkey is good, JRiver gives you a more immediate presentation of the music and a better soundstage on my rig | |
| Best possible digital output from a computer? Steve,No I haven't so far, because I am happy with the sound as is. But I've been planning to try one day. Perhaps you just gave me the necessary kick in the you know where to do so soon. I'll report when I have done so.OOps: Just saw, that I alre... | |
| Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters The sonics are lousy, the singing compared to Joni's original is uninspired and artificial and HH has gone completely commercial. That, for what it is worth, is my view on this. To me it was a huge disappointment in every respect, sonically as wel... | |
| Best possible digital output from a computer? Jwglista,My Toshiba has, like your laptop, except for firewire, only USB output possibilities. I have no complaints about the soundstage, which is both wide and deep and I see no deterioration at all with the Spoiler compared to vinyl or CD direct... |
