Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo?
Slowhand - Welcome to the Northstar club. I think you will be very happy over the long haul too. I have had the 192 Transport and DAC for over a year with I2S Rev Audio Cable and love them. A few months ago modded the DAC at MauiMods and it took i...

STLtrains - Your query is very welcomed on the thread, sorry I have no experience with the Nuforce amps. If they mate well with other tube pres, they should do well. I know that if you email Victor with your amp specs he will check out the technic... 
Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg...
Have you tried going to Pandora.com? There for free you put in an artist that you like and they play songs of similar artists with all album and ordering data. I do not know if they go back as far as Folgelberg

I would second Bill's request and reasoning. Joseph's genius for "absolute sound" plus ss reliability, ease, and power would be highly desirable.

Victor - No worries! My anxiety did not rise with your post, rather I was trying to suggest that you might be overly worried given percieved balance can be influenced by as Bill mentioned by earwax et al. My AH imaging is dead-on and beautifully d...

Victor, I am a bit confused. Does this issue only apply to motorized volume controls, meaning the remote controlled units? Also it would seem that dead center image is pretty sensitive. I can move my head a few inches left or right and slightly ch...

I think that Guerrila has a 45 day trial 
Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?
I am very happy with Guerilla wire, silver for the woofer and copper for the mid/tweet in a biwire configuration, reasonable price (I think about 400-$900 for 3 meter pair), high quality construction and service. 
Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP
Thanks for posting - enjoyed the clip. I was 18 at that time and he sure spoke to the hormones and existential angst.

Lak - Glad you enjoyed the read. Let us know when you reviece your unit and what you think. By the time you finish you audition and post comments it will likely be a three and half hour read. After hearing my AH 2.0 a friend of mine here in town i... 
Cleaning contacts, What first?
Before using the Silclear, read this previous thread http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?raccs&1077564712&read&keyw&zzsilclearand you may decide not to apply it. While initially spectacular, it did make my system muddy over a f...

I would be inclined to go with your best and with the phono unit separate with clear indications of lowest price unit and ease of upgrade. But it is a very tough question becuase if the lowest unit recieves high praises at that attractive price po... 
How Much Is Too Much?
When I was 14 I was playing a very complex Bach organ piece in church and did a fair job with it. Afterward the head priest came to me and said "Don't play that again, it has too many notes." I thought that was one of the most stupid and obscence ...
