| Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC. Get the belden 8402 herehttp://btpa.com/IC8402-XX.html | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Take a listen to Concha Buika, the queen of flamenco fusion. Check out "La noche más larga" and "El Último Trago" with the great Chucho Valdes on piano. I also consider Cecile Mclorin Salvant on her debut album up there with the greats. | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? No question, the We16ga interconnect at $1.59/ft. | |
| Any suggestion on DAC below $1,500 Take a look at the BMC PureDAC. It’s a little above your price range but it delivers outsize performance, build quality, features and reliability. I have heard it on a number of occasions in a number of different systems and it always delivers. Pl... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp I have used Full Music 12ax7 in my TA-1000 for last three years and there is not a hint of brightness. They seem to pair well with a pair of cryoed Mullard 6201 that I also use in the unit. | |

| Tesla Battery as a power supply? I have a friend who powers his front end/preamp from a bank of lead acid batteries with an inverter essentially to combat frequent power outages. Many inverters do not provide the pure sine wave output that is ideal for audio components. My friend... | |
| Best Rock Album of 2015 Robben Ford's Into The Sun is pretty good. It's a rock album with some blues influences and include guest appearances by Sonny Landreth, Keb' Mo, Warren Haynes, Robert Randolph and ZZ Ward. The sound quality is quite good too. | |
| Tube for MHDT Labs Paradisea+ DAC Still have my Paradisea+ as backup for my Lampy. I have tried most of the contenders in mine including the WE396 and the absolutely best tube is the Bendix 6385. Be warned the Bendix is rare, quite expensive and might not be worth the effort. | |
