| Power Plant Premier making sound worse? What's the sound of nickel plated outlets? | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... What a bunch of wankers!Bruce did the first public performance with the Seeger Sessions Band at the New Orleans JazzFest the year after Katrina. It was extraordinary -- like a revival meeting for a community that really needed it. His songwriting ... | |
| Remove plastic shroud from WBT binding posts? Thanks. WBT got back to me and told me about that. | |
| Are there any integrated amps with a built in DAC? Bryston B100 SST. Given the high praise the latest Bryston amps are getting, and given my 4-day audition of the new Bryston DAC (fabulous!), I'd take a look. The DAC board is an option, as is a MM/MC board. | |
| Remove plastic shroud from WBT binding posts? Good points. Replacing the binding posts would require major speaker surgery, however, which I would not want to undertake. >"Then again, some folks can be overly sensitive about stuff like that."That's the key thing, I think. | |

| Remove plastic shroud from WBT binding posts? Thanks you two. I'm afraid you are correct, there is no non-destructive way to get the little buggers off. Do you suppose it will hurt resale value if I remove them permanently? | |
| the SHM CD Experience RBCD is not going to die this year or any time soon -- it will be a long and slow decline. And SACD is not going to become more popular. The best and only real hope for audiophiles is hi-rez downloads, which not only get you higher sampling rates ... | |

| the SHM CD Experience Any theories as to how an enhanced transparency polycarbonate can make for better sound? Could it be anything other than fewer errors or less jitter?Seems to me that, if these things really do sound better just because, somehow, the transport is a... | |
| First Steps into Computer Audio I'm sure that's a factor, but several of the respondents in that PFO piece argue that there are other reasons why USB is the better choice, including some technical reasons. Regardless, it appears that good ol' Ethernet may be the dark horse in th... | |
| First Steps into Computer Audio Yeah, he asked that same series of questions of several (many!) digital gurus. Great stuff, and they were the right questions as far as I'm concerned. |
