Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I've asked this question in an older post but haven't received an answer. I'll try one more time. Pettyofficer: Where do you get your acid and how do I get some? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
So sad to hear of this. My deepest sympathy goes out to Paul's friends and family. His comments have always been a pleasure to read. Each time this thread exposes new people to George and the Lightspeed, Paul played a part in filling their lives w...

computer not sending signal to usb/spdif converter

Vicdamone: So what are you saying? 
Best CD player under $5K?
Anyone spending close to 5K on a cd player is a fool. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Vicks7: Which Bent do you have? Autoformer or S&B tranies? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Jult52: As Clio09 said, I no longer have the Bent. It was in a completely different system at the time and I believe every single component has changed since then. Boy, would I love to throw it in right now to compare with the LSA though. In the m...

Ozzy: Yeah, I requested the free two day break-in. Dig4 with Eichmann silver RCAs, 1.5 meters. I'm looking forward to it. Also, today I ordered the Mapleshade USB/SPDIF converter. 
Audio Sensibility Statement Digital Cable
Ha! Meant one cable. Not one pair.
