What to upgrade on $3,000 budget
Get the best amp you can with that 3k it will be the heart of your system from here out. That adcom is your weak link in my opinion. Not that familiar with your preamp but it might be suspect as well. Mediocre amp and pre will always yield mediocr... 
Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak?
I don't know who is crazier you or the coconut audio guy. I'm sure you are messing with us you can't be serious? Just seeing if anyone is actually crazy enough to try this? It's a good laugh that's for sure. 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
Davt I don't understand how the R DAC comes into play with the xeos? It seems strange to go analog in to the xeos since they have digital inputs. I just feed mine an optical input from my Apple TV. Or you could go right out of the computer via USB... 
Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps
I would seriously consider other amps. I had duos with BAT 150s and it was to much I had much better sound with lower powered tube amps or even the pass aleph 3 for that matter. Trios being such a sensitive speaker were made to be used with the ve... 
Help with ringing bass from Dynaudio C1
You'd think if your silverlines were ok then it's got to be the speakers and there is something wrong, they are broken. There is no way this speaker just does this if it is such an obvious flaw. Hopefully you bought them new and can get warranty s... 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
Still not working! I'm gonna throw mine out too. I'm going to run an Ethernet cable to my shop where the wadia is and just have an Apple TV that way I can access my entire collection all the time. Apple is famous for making new products and making... 
Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia?
That's a pretty small room I would think if its sealed and that size you might have major issues with big speakers and trying to control the bass. I had all kinds of issues in a room 19x15 with big speakers. Unless you've already had speakers that... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
I think 1500 is a great deal and what a heck or a speaker for that price but you do have to almost like the fact that they are so huge. They are impressive but the bass is lacking for the the size is all I'm saying. I may have never gotten them se... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
I would pay 1800-2000. I've heard of driver failures and its a real headache so there is a little risk involved. I've had a pair and personally unless you like the size I think you can do better. For as big as they are the bass is quite weak at le... 
Integrated or receiver or separates advice sought
If you know you like naim I'd get that. The 5i is right in your price range. 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
Well like I said last time I updated my iPhone I lost all my notes in the iPhone which had some important things. I have not been able to find any copies of them on the computer. I thought all this stuff was just supposed to be handled you didn't ... 
Berkeley dac2/Alpha USB vs ps audio perfect wave ?
John, What do you mean by hassles in implementation? I have mine hooked up via USB and can't imagine what could be a problem. I've also had not one problem with the optical input either. I'm guessing you may be referring to the bridge? I have not ... 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
No I have not updated my iphone for just that same reason it seems like when everything is working good and then you upgrade surely something won't work anymore. I'm not even running IOS 5 on my iphone. It works OK and last time I updated my iPhon... 
Older is better - D/A chip?
DAC of the weak is a DAC owned by an extremely weak person 
Berkeley dac2/Alpha USB vs ps audio perfect wave ?
I've not heard the Berkeley but the I have replaced the Bryston dac with the perfect wave 2 and its quite a nice improvement. The direct to the amp feature works great and in my system sounds a little better than my preamp unfortunately I need a p...
