Tweekerman. You may be adding a lovely Norwegian beauty to your harem of elegant French lovelies? Your room must be gorgeous. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Cool deal Bro57, the Power 2s did wonders for my system's sound. Looks like a whole lot of us will be trying out Rick's cables and cords, then writing reviews. 
Chord 64 dac or Tube Tech 64 vs. kora hermes
Hi, I just got the new Kora Hermes with the Auricaps and JenaLabs cryo'd wires three weeks ago. It's a really sweet piece. I still have my Bel Canto DAC 1.1 to compare it to, but I prefer the Kora in soundstaging, warmth, and overall realism. The ...

Kev, good idea. That would be a fun comparison! Hmmm...I need to find my local Bel Canto dealer now. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that Rick with Virtual Dynamics is now offering full cryogenic treatment of his interconnects, power cords and speaker cables. He said even if you already own his cables and cords you can send them back to him... 
News about Bel Canto Dac2 Release
Hi Dekay.Yeah, who needs all the extra interconnects and PCs. But if I were to ever go back to an integrated, it would have to have tubes. Or something like an Audio Aero Capitole into a tube amp would be nice too.I still have to decide if it's wo... 
Speaker Termination for dummies
I have a set of PSB Alpha Minis somewhere in my room, and from what I remember, they won't accept bananas or spades, only bare wire or pin termination. Just a guess, but your Marantz probably is able to use any of the previously mentioned methods ... 
Upgrade cd player or Dac? need help
Hi Petrty11. Although I've never heard your Rotel 951, from what I understand Rotel sources in general are on the dark side, and I think some might even say dull. I don't know if the addition of an outboard DAC would give you what you're looking f...

John, since I got the Kora I was all set on selling my DAC 1.1, but this news has really caused me to slam on the brakes. If I can swing the cash I might do the upgrade, then compare it to the Kora. I love the Kora! The tubes really work their mag... 
News about Bel Canto Dac2 Release
I received an e-mail from Craig Bleeker of Bel Canto Design stating that they are trying for a release of the DAC2 in two weeks or less. They'll also have a better idea of what the turnaround time will be for converting a DAC 1 or 1.1 to 2 status ... 
Best Engineered Album, - Diana Krall ?????
That's a pretty funny list Thedautch.Kirk, Diana is fun to watch in concert isn't she? She's quite funny too. A reviewer who's name escapes me once described her voice as fine wine with a splash of whiskey. I like it! 
Do I connect video out thru receiver or to TV?
Glad we could help Sailinfla. What Edesilva may be referring to is the difference between composite and S-video in that S-video separates the color and picture detail into two different carriers whereas composite does not. I have noticed a big dif...

Sam, unfortunately Dekay sold his DAC 1.1. We should talk him into getting the new unit, then he'll be one of the few people that has heard all three versions of the Bel Canto.Rupe, $1300? Wow! If the unit is better than the 1.1 AND $125 cheaper, ... 
News about Bel Canto Dac2 Release
Sam, wow!!!!!!I may wait to sell my DAC 1.1, get the "2" upgrade, THEN compare it to the Kora Hermes!!!!!! That would be a cool comparo. Right now I find the Kora to have more air and dimension, just as much detail and a fuller, more warmer presen... 
Best Engineered Album, - Diana Krall ?????
Hi Msn50, are you talking about the latest one? Because if you are, I have to agree with you that it doesn't sound very good. I strongly prefer the sound of some her earlier releases to the latest one, and there are others from many artists that I...
