Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
I should make a comment here on the wonderful Star Sound Apprentice stand. I use the less expensive Adona coupling discs and they may not extract the very best performance from these stands. I just am not sure.  I will try the Star Sound coupling ...

Tomic, I do understand your point being in innovation & product development. Yes it is part of the cost and spread out over a relatively few units unfortunately. Good point. Charles, on Red Book CD spinning the Yammy is a great value and to my...

Good idea on the 10ga star quad twist cables. They will really make you smile! You can sell the rest. I sold my set of WE16s very quickly.

This is the Star Sound stand I am talking about. I purchased the coupling discs from Adona as they were more reasonably priced. Eden sound also makes nice ones for reasonable cost. http://www.starsoundaudio.com/ComponentPlatformsDetail.php?SP-SA-1...

Tomic601, we agree. You are making my very point. Our hobby has so few that our prices are so crazy high. We disagree on the parts being aerospace as the boards are filled with common parts etc...the type of parts found on the boards in a Scion. T...

Really hard and most likely impossible to state where high end begins. I have owned Van Alstine and Quicksilver gear and they were pretry good really.

Some good values do exist and you mentioned them. However, a great many others fit my description. I cannot build a car, but I can can buy a Scion for the price of some high end dac's and amps. I cannot build a wave runner, snowmobile, motorcycle,...

Forgot to mention that even the  high end, boutique parts market is priced out of sight. I can build gear that sounds as good as gear selling for 10x the price, but it is not cheap for me to build with top quality boutique parts. Some don't believ...

JWM, that is true. We are in a tough spot as the gear and hobby we love so much is priced so very high. Not all the time, but too much of the time.

Hi all. I now have 100% WE 10 ga wire power cords throughout my system and just love them. I simply used a 10 gauge run for ground, hot, and neutral. No shielding of any kind and a simple twisting of the three wires. Highly recommended. I also use...

I bet the Eclipse version is outstanding as I found the simple upgrades I performed to the stock unit to be a nice step up. I just wish these upgrades were more affordable from the manufacturer. High end audio pricing has really gotten out of hand...

Meant to type "the" Luxman not "he". Seems you cannot edit once the post is 30 minutes old.  
Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
He Luxman does not have a volume control. I did did hear the Romulus with both a cheap Sony CD player as a transport and and older CEC belt drive transport. Very slight difference and I would say the CEC made the sound a tad smoother. Not day and ...

JWM, I guess we will just disagree on this one.
