Still mystified by mega expensive power cords
Well you should be equally mystified why the capacitor, tranny, connector or wire or resistor etc...in your gear would make any difference! Same exact question should plague and not plague you for consistency sake.Goodness, what can a few feet of ... 
Looking to add warmth
I wish we were all as smart as 61? Why the attitude? Oh well. Still need a preamp and to treat your space. Both are needed. I think 61's comment on space is right and he and his statement are not useless. I would act on his statement and the pre! ...

Yes, you need a preamp as it is the heart of a system. Get a good tubed preamp and your system will be miles ahead. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I can tell you with assurance that the Duelund CAST caps will indeed improve the sound. I have upgraded several front end dacs and CD players with these caps with huge, not small, gains each time. The improvement after burn in will not be slight. ...

Both are glorious in this dac. Can't go wrong with either.

Bigkidz, while the poster won't do,what you suggest, I agree 100 percent with your comments on the Shinkoh resistors. I have them in my preamp and love them! 
Are We Talking CDs And CDPs Out Of Existence?
I am the last person my friends would ever think of for help in anything computer related. I am ignorant at best around computers compared to my kids and many others. That said, computer based audio is glitch free for this dummy and quite a breeze...

Hi Bruce and Tim. The 4 is all one would really ever need. I say get a 4 and be sure to get the top of the line Jensen caps and the Bendix rectification tube. This and the right footers, power cord and AC conditioning will make more of a differenc... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
The power supply was a huge improvement on my 2009 Mini. I would say a 25-30% improvement. Steve at Empirical says a stock 2009 mini sounds better than a stock 2011 Mini. So this means my set up is perhaps 30 plus percent better than a 2011 Mini w...

As long as the modded Mini has a Mojo or Hynes power supply! If not, don't bother doing an AB.

Rockyboy, then you will never buy anything cutting edge digital from any maker. I guess any high end gear for that matter. Not a bad idea!

Thanks much! 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Hi Johnson, I cannot say what Paul has done on every build, but I do know output caps of any value .22uf and up that I have tried all worked great. Based on my experience the Dude sounds magnificent with any decent output cap, no kidding. The Duel...

I build stuff and the build quality of my unit is very good. It is point to point wired with a very robust power supply with multiple chokes and Mundorf film caps. He uses silver wire and I could go on and on.Understand these are not mass produced...
