| Let's talk about Silver... I have some bespoke silver connectors that I bought from a retired engineer who builds them at home. Helped with dull sounding gear- Lexicon,Arcam CD players etc. Worth a try, before you replace the unit..... I also had Silver fuse jumpers in a ... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT No. Start with an Ocean Digital WR 10 and go from there-if need be. Paired to a great DAC , it's an astoundingly good piece of gear for an embarrassingly low cost. I know, we all think good= expensive........... had mine for years, from Amazo... | |

| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) I don't have a low cost system BUT one of my most outstanding pieces of gear is also my least expensive. After excessive building of high rise's in my neighborhood made FM reception impossible I stuck my toe in the water and bought an Ocean Digit... | |
