Do all good interconnects sound the same?
Actually I'm with you guys on this. I was doing research on buying some new IC's and I came across his white technical papers and found them to be an interesting read. I've spent more than a few dollars on wire. He says he uses these IC's with hi... 
Signs of poor electricity in home...?
Mnnc have you always had this problem or is it something that just starting happening?As far as the cheater plug. No it will not hurt it to just plug in your amp into it to check the noise. I would recommend just one amp plugged in with one set of... 
Signs of poor electricity in home...?
This may sound odd but I had this problem before.I had AC riding on the ground. Try using one ofthose cheater plugs. Three prongs to two prongs.If you plug in the power cord into the cheater plug and the problem goes away you can then lookinto the... 
CM Caps
That is a difficult question. I have heard the above mentioned products but not together. The Nelson Audio store in Guangzhou sells only their products. I did compare your unit to the Jolida 302 about 4 or 5 years ago in Beijing. I felt the Image ... 
CM Caps
When you talk about slam I'm not sure if you mean more power? The caps will make things cleaner and they may give you more bottom end definition and allow you to see deeper into the music and reveal things you can't hear now. But it may not give y... 
CM Caps
Transl I work and live in China and I have seen and listen this amp. Nice looking unit and sound good too. The amp is about $700 new here and that's with their mark-up. So there is a good bet they didn't spend too much on the caps. Doesn't mean th... 
Has anybody heard the new RAYSONIC CD 138?
* About the USB input, we will add it in the future. All our CD players have different design concepts and use different materials. The CD128 can read HDCD, the CD138 uses the CS4398 DAC and only its RCA output runs through the tube buffer while t... 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
The 5751's work well in my unit too. I like to roll tubes as it's give a very different presentation. I'm currently using Sylvania 3 mica black plates with some Mullard's and it's a very midrange centered presentation. Sometimes I like the GE trip... 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
Tubes choices are a very personal thing. For someone to say what will be best for you is almost impossible. I personally like NOS tubes best. But it is time consuming and expensive to find out what you like best. I can't help much with the 6SN7 bu... 
Has anybody heard the new RAYSONIC CD 138?
I went to the Raysonic room at the Guangzhou Hifi fair in December and I can't be sure now if it was the 138 or the 238 I heard but it was nice. They had the 228 which is a two piece unit that I enjoyed even more. I almost bought it. I ended up bu... 
Best "Upgrades" to Jolida 202a
From what I understand the 202 is much the same as the 502? I've never actually looked at one inside or the schematic. But I have done a lot of mods to my 502 and it really sounds amazing now. You can send me an email and I can provide you with mo... 
Preamps and a Cayin A 50T
The A88t had pre-amp inputs but that's not a feature of theA-50t I believe. So this will not be easy. But I could be wrong since I don't actually have this unit. But I was considering buying one before and did some research. Good luck

Yes I just learned about allmusic.com after I started this thread and I just heard about pitchfork last weekend but I've been busy at work and haven't had much time to really check it out. Before I was just using amazon.com and wikepeda. I did fin...

A nice website that Dusty told me about which is excellent to cross reference your music is allmusic.com It tells you about the band and gives you a list of artists with similar style music.

Nice list Bongofury. That will keep me busy for a while. I have already started on Heyitsmedustys. Good stuff. There is so much good new music coming out on small labels or self produced. It's nice to give them exposure as well. I think a lot more...
