Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
This preamp simply, "isn't there". I just shake me head at all of the ridiculously overpriced preamps out there after hearing this thing. 
Are Disc Players Dead?
Question: How do ones and zeros on a cd sound better than ones and zeros on a hard drive? As I said on a thread I started a while ago, I think people who haven't embraced the server/dac method don't want to spend the time transferring their collec... 
Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps
Just received my Will Vincent Dyna Super 70 amp with 6L6's with triode output of 21 watts per channel. Wow!!! Right out of the box this thing is transparent and detailed with warmth in the midrange with nice tight bass. The retrieval of low level ... 
Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
I used to own the Essence. I liked them and agree with above posts. Great for classical and jazz (which is my preference anyway). I foolishly sold them, but after a few other pairs I got lucky and currently have a pair which in my opinion outperfo... 
Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?

Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
Pmboyd: I use Crimson throughout my system...interconnects and speaker cables. You can see them in my "virtual systems". 
Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
Pmboyd: I've enjoyed the solid core cables more than others because of this: the solid cores made me think less about analyzing and more about feeling emotions of music. You know that feeling you get when you stop analyzing the music and you just ... 
Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
Hifi: Glad to see I'm not the only one who had the pleasure of experiencing Crimson cables. Truly a revelation. 
Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
I've experienced the most emotional connection to music in my home with solid core wire. DNM, Crimson. Those cables beat out the Kimber Select, and Nordost Tyrs that I USED to use. 
1K dac
I have a Burson 160D for sale. Like Rex44 said, if you can find one used it would be nice...... 
From pro to hi-fi and a little confused...
If you need an active that doesn't take up a lot of space, then look into Quested 2108 active monitors. 
Mac sound quality
Petty: Where do you get your acid and how do I get some? It's painfully obvious that all of your posts on this subject scream the same thing: You are scared to learn about computer audio so the easy thing to do is bash it.
