| Christmas '12 Audio Upgrades? The only audio Christmas presents I'll ever get are the ones I buy for myself. My family will never spend that amount of money on audio for me. I have gotten some CD gift certificates to Amazon which is great, because I buy lots of cd's from them.... | |
| the hrx format Mrtennis- Can you say anything more about how the HRx material sounds? I can't tell if you like the 4 discs or not. | |
| Power cable for Pass Labs 250.5 Also consider Audience Powerchord "e" version. This really made my XA30.5 shine. Nothing else really made a difference. | |

| Oppo-105 vs Oppo-93 + W4S DAC2 for stereo. I'll throw in my 2 cents about this. I've had a Modwright tube Oppo 83 for over a year and absolutely loved it. I recently tried adding a Nuforce DAC-9 and I was literally blown away by the improvement it made. I was using a toslink, so I was basi... | |
