Balanced IC used as Digital cable
Thanks for the explanation. 
Balanced IC used as Digital cable
Thanks. But does that mean that digital cables may make for better IC's? 
Squeezebox Touch or Sonos ZonePlayer
I had my sonos modified by Cullin Circuits to be clocked by my Apogee Big Ben clock. Big improvement but regular Sonos is pretty good. Also the high def files are downgraded by the squeezebox in order to play. Therefore no longer high def anyway. 
This is the Blues
Is this the tittle? "This is the Blues" where do I buy it? 
Will increasing speaker height increase Soundstage
Thanks for responses. I found that my speakers were toed in too much. changing it helped. But I still wonder why the Maxx 3 speakers had more height then the WP or Sasha.. The former has the tweater a foot heigher. If I raised my WP would it also ... 
Wilson Sasha versus Watt Puppy 8
At the last CES show I heard the Sasha'S with BAT's reference mono amps. They sounded extremely good. More musical then my WP7's. They also sounded good with AR amp, preamp and Continuum $100,000 plus turntable. A very bad match with Lamm Hybrid A... 
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?

I have Wp7's which are very sensitive to edgy high frequencies. I feel the Tube DAC with Ampex Buggel Boys sound extremely smooth, full bodied and transparent. I can't remember how it sounds with the stock tubes but you would want to change them a... 
Live vs home system???
I agree that non amplified live music is the goal to strive for. Many of the live concerts I've attended appear to mix all the tracks into one mono feed so that no matter where you are seated you will hear it all. Unfortunately, localization of th... 
What is the best DAC ever made?
I have the AA Tube DAC with Long plate Buggle Boy Nos. My speakers are Wp7's which can be on the bright side if not used with proper electronics. While I have not heard the Berkley, the warmth and clarity that I hear from my DAC has not left me wa... 
New LP with pops + crackle, What is expected?
ViridianI will buy the anti static gun and will try cleaning it on my Acoustat cleaner. But after all that should I except it with pops and crackles? This is a "master recording". What does that mean? Why did my much less expensive lp produce such... 
Marantz reliability?
I purchased an high definition projector. I had a problem with my first projector and had difficulty with its reliability. They kept returning it to me without being fixed. After 8 months of complaining they finally replaced it with another unit. ...
