Whats more important, source cables or amp cables?
over all good cabling will make a difference. Where to start? The further upstream the more significant the impact (this goes for equipment too). In other words, your source equipment and cabling carries the smallest and most delicate signal - if ... 
Audio note Dac question
On another inspection of the kit web site, I see the 2.1 kit can be had in 12AU7 drivers instead of the 6922 - this may be of interest. I use 12AU7 Mullard “long plate square getter” in my MP3 preamp and love them, plus I believe 12AU7 are more co... 
Audio note Dac question
Also, I agree with Charles1dad, the PWT is definitely natural and transparent... On another note, I have not had personal experience with the 47 Labs Flatfish but have been recommended towards it by several folks for it's naturalness - I have also... 
Audio note Dac question
As far as upgrades go - I briefly reviewed the AN Kit site for a refreshment and would definitely start, at least, with the 2.1 B kit - the I/V transformers are a crucial link in natural digital conversion, in my opinion. I did not notice if the "...

Audio note Dac question
Hello,I have an EXTENSIVELY & HIGHLY modified AN kit DAC - it started life as a 3.1 equivalent - you'll have to check out my system page. It blows away every other digital source I have personally heard without doubt and was my end-point, crow... 
Reference Transports: An overall perspective
This tread has been dead a long time, I'd like to give it a bump due to much has changed since the last post. Personally, I replaced a Accustic Arts Mk ii transport with the PS Audio PerfectWave PWT Transport. Much more open and transparent with t... 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
All I say, is I think you are WAY over estimating the intelligence of this person. Just because someone has obtained a degree or has read a Windows operating systems book certainly does not equate nor qualify them as being intelligent. And certain... 
Quad ESL Cap mods
i have a photo attached to my Quad listing on my system page that shows my caps mounted - maybe this will give you an idea. Best mod 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
Opinions are only as good as your preconceptions. Personally, I am very happy with what I currently have and see nothing that is securely established enough to convince me into further investment. Furthermore, I see nothing being phased out, in-fa... 
You got to be ?& · Kidding me
Thank you Alex. And, yes, I certainly have not heard all there is to hear. I would certainly welcome an audition of one of your masterpieces, I understand you have quite a following and reputation.Regards,William 
You got to be ?& · Kidding me
The error in your judgement is the idea that "latest" = "greatest". Unfortunately, this is an all too common mistake in todays mentality, which has been so overwhelmingly infected with the 'consumerism' is good idea / the buy, buy, buy compulsive ... 
Lampizator DAC
Thanks so much Glide3. Once you have your top tier Lampizator, please give us a review. 
SACD vs. Vinyl
None of these media formats were ever actually meant to be "better" than another or "the best" or to compete with the others for such a title - they all are only meant to sell you stuff, to make profits for the media companies...Alast some do soun... 
PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2
I agree with Ballan, I'd be skeptical of this new fancy filter... I use the PWT transport coupled to a Audio Note DAC - no filtering, no upsampling, no oversampling, no nothing but MUSIC...Haven't heard the PWD but I can vouch that the PWT is an A...
