Toetapfactor, I agree completely about the laudable goal of being informative and constructive on the fora.On the other hand, while I deem the electronic bed-side manners of some users rather appalling, and I may recommend them a prompt remedial a...

Adding Esoteric G-03X Clock to X03-SE cd player
My personal listening experience on the TEAC line is largely limited to Esoteric single box X-01 Limited, X-01 D2, and P-03/D-03 combo players. Heard these players by themselves and with G-03 G-0S, and some 3rd party clocks. Clocks appeared to hav... 
Magtech Amplifier
Uhrn.... Norm, if that is the case, you are in good company... All solid state amps I have broken in this far (high efficiency class D) have taken between 1,000 and 1,500 hrs to break in.... and even my previous high bias class A/B amp, the venera... 
Magtech Amplifier
Norm, I suspect that excruciatingly long break in time and slow performance recovery may be fairly common among high-efficiency amps... 
APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review
Thank you so much John, I hope Alex can be persuaded soon to participate to RMAF, and with matching components that are synergistic with his CDp.... He may need to hurry... it looks like industry bookings may be up approximately 50% since last yea... 
APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review
Thank you Puremusic. Extremely intriguing findings. What you describe on NWO 4.0 matches what I hope to hear in state of the art CDps, including the so rare texturing of transients. Will Alex's device be shown/heard at the upcoming RMAF in October... 
Ayre vs Bel Canto?
I have no direct experience with AYRE amps, but have reviewed Bel Canto REF1000 Mk2, and more recently Ref500M on Positive Feedback. The Ref500M article is a comparative review discussing audible differences with Ref1000 Mk.2 (also called Ref1000M... 
ARC CD 3 Mk. II & Marantz S11S2 -- sonic contrast?
Thank you Bob... But this far there have been 150 viewings of this thread... and no opinions given yet (grins). Guido 
ARC CD 3 Mk. II & Marantz S11S2 -- sonic contrast?
Well, it looks like no one has compared ARC CD 3 Mk. II with Marantz SA11S2... So, let's broaden the comparison just a little:ARC CD 3 Mk. II contrasted with Marantz SSA11S1, SA11S2, or SA7S1.Best, Guido

Finding a Power Cord that sounds great
Yes, apparently in CX series Shunyata has enhanced its connectors. However, it is my understanding there is alot more to the Shunyata design than connectors alone. Just from memory. . .* Shunyata utilizes extremely pure Copper. Of course, I am not... 
Finding a Power Cord that sounds great
You bet JRN. . . just make sure that when looking at a used King Cobra listed at an attractive price, the listing specifies CX. The only thing in common between the original King Cobra and the CX version is a significant heftiness of the device. C... 
Finding a Power Cord that sounds great
Thank you JRN. Yes, you are correct, a lot has to do with personal preference, and the sound is the result of the interaction of all components in a system, including power cords of course. I tried to make clear in my posts that my assessment of t... 
Finding a Power Cord that sounds great
JRN, I agree completely that Flux take an inordinate amount of time to break-in. Anyone who shortshrifts these wires because of what the do (or do not do) during the first few hundred hours of operation, will waste their time and their money. Flux...
