Audio Research CD3 vs Electrocompaniet EMC 1
that's a lot of cash to throw down just to try something. I know I've done it more than once so I can definetly relate. I now have the itch to try the new Mark Levenson transport and outboard dac combo. Talk about sticker shock, still waiting for ... 
Audio Research LS-16 unpgrade
I run an LS16 MK-II in my bedroom system. It's nice but I don't think I'd spend a grand for the upgrade. I don't think you'll get the re-sale value out of the piece later. I have a real hard time paying for factory upgrades because it means paying...

I saw a CD3 for sale today at a-gon 
Audio Research CD3 vs Electrocompaniet EMC 1
I have not seen an ARC CD3 in the used market since it's release last year. I've listened to one and it sounded nice but would need to take it home and compare it to what I have now before I could make that kind of commitment and even then I would... 
quattro fil xlr or cardas golden cross
I have two systems in my house. The first one comprised of tubed gear with Electrostatic speakers I cable with Nordost Quatra-fils and SPM speaker cables. My H/T system which is all solid state is cabled with Cardas Golden Ref and Gold Ref speaker... 
Scraping sound coming from Theta Transport
Here's a quick update. My DaViD is playing less and less of what I put in it (cd's). I fear the end is near and that a trip to the factory for servicing is inevitable. I while back this piece was giving me a lot of problems playing DVD's so I swap... 
Need Help on Dedicated Electrical Lines
I have no comment at this time :^) 
HDTV picture quality question...
Matt, That's interesting. You say you can pick up the HD signal for local channels with a $15.00 antena? Where do you get the antena? What part of CA are you from? I guess you still need the HD converter box with five video outs to the tv? 
Tubes for Audio Research LS-16 Pre Amp
I use an LS-16 MK II in my bedroom. It's nice, heck I think the tubes are good for 10,000 hours. It mates well with my VT-100 MK III. All in all I'm pretty happy with the sound. Before that I used an LS-15, I have to admit there was a noticable im... 
Electrician Coming Over What to Do?
I agree Sean but let's not get to carried away. We still need to tie them together at ground level or under the earth. We wouldn't want to go outside the N.E.C. requirments just to make are music sound a little better, Or would we? 
Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"????

Cardas Caps on unused digital jacks?
I cover everything with those nifty little dudes. I tape three of them together for my unused balanced ports :) 
Electrician Coming Over What to Do?
There seems to be some confusion on isolated ground circuits. I am not implying you should add a second ground rod to obtain an I.G. circuit. Just tie your isolated ground to the ground bar at the meter if possible or to the ground rod itself. Rar... 
Electrician Coming Over What to Do?
Hi again, Sean brings up a good point when he said there is a lot of noise being transmitted in the big city areas via the power lines and that some of it is coming through to your system. I happen to live in a small town in the Santa Cruz Mountai...
