Is Star Sound Technologies out of business?
Did you try a phone call before posting such an irresponsible thread title? There are plenty of ways to get the phone number and contact them in that manner. Why would you assume just because a web page doesn't open a company would be out of busin... 
Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time
How about the ABSOLUTE truth- Stan is a troll who offers nothing but negativity and condescension in every one of his posts. More absolute truth- he never even tried Cerious Cables.

I guess the key to the 50 Ohm cables, just as with video and digital cables, is that they are properly terminated a maintain a consistent 50 Ohm impedance from end to end. Here is one 50 Ohm cable I'll be trying from L-Com- 18 awg solid silver coa...

Great read Mike! Thanks for the update. You just made the waiting time that much more painful :-(What 50 Ohm cables were you using between the preamp and amps? 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
WAKE UP PEOPLE! He did not "review" the speaker. It is one of his "Watch Dog" articles which ARE NOT REVIEWS. If it was a "review" I would agree with all the comments above.Again- read the intent of his "Watch Dog" articles.http://www.audioperfect... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
FWIW- Mr. Hardesty's "Watch Dog" is NOT a review of the Maxx 2 as some are misinterpreting here. To understand the purpose and intent of his "Watch Dog" articles I suggest you read it in his own words.http://www.audioperfectionist.com/pages/watchd...

XLR-RCA-BNC sonic quality differences
The BNC inputs and outputs and their 50 Ohm impedance are unique to the DarTZeel I believe. I cannot think of too many other power amplifiers with a 50 Ohm input impedance. Those on the low side are usually around 5K-10K and many tube amplifiers h...

Rich- Great post and info. I didn't even know my CDSD had those "features". I couldn't see the array of green lights you described through the transport, but I removed the cover and discovered an array of four orange lights that toggle in the mann...

OB- The owner's manual is referring to the fact that the amp is ALWAYS drawing a small amount of electricity and maintaining a "charge". After depressing the "POWER NOSE", which takes it out of standby (this is NOT a power switch that disconnects ...

Mike- Have you been using the preamp in battery mode? I know last time you had it, you may not have have even realized its true sonic potential. Any better this time now that it is back in your system?

"3. I am a customer of Jtinn. That is because he is the most knowledgable, honest, reliable, caring person I have met in my 25+ years in audio. His customers needs come before the sale. For example, my friend was interested in the Dartzeel amp. Jt... 
EMM CDSD transport new version out
Hi Hooper- I've been asking the same questions as well and have received the same answers as you. However, if you download the latest manual (version 2.1) of the CDSD from EMM Labs website, the picture of the the rear of the CDSD does show a USB c...
