| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright I have found Dan to be very forthright, honest and dedicated to his craft. When my 9.0 outboard power supply for my modified SACD player had an issue, he not only repaired it, but modified the circuit so that in case it suffered another catastroph... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Any particular reason you're taking the DNA .05 out of your system? As SS amps go, the .05 was well regarded for being a smooth performer rendering fine detail.If you really want to max. out the .05 you could call Steve McCormack at SMc Audio to ... | |
| Any suggestions for sound dampening and/or control for Golden Ear Triton Ones? @johnk +1 Dampening (making something damp) is not recommended! Damping is just fine😜 | |
| can anyone help me........ What "sound" does the Rotel have and what sound are you striving for? Years ago I had a Rotel RCD-991. Boy was that thing mellow. Easy on the ears but no dynamics. "Sonic wallpaper" | |
| CDs Vs LPs @Elizabeth +1. Well said! | |
| Carpenters @roxy54 A BIG +1. The Carpenters Christmas album contains a great mixture of Karen's vocals with Richard's harmonizing and well arranged instrumentals. It is the one Christmas CD the whole family enjoys! | |

| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Are we going "off the rails" here?🧐 | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @bdp24 Well put! | |
| matching pre amp @roberjerman. +1. Even though I have a nostalgic sense for the 9090, the NAD or a variety of other receivers or integrated amps would be MUCH more musically satisfying! | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Paul McGowan is very transparent about the power cord issue. He, like the vast majority of audio entrepreneurs, brings gear to market at a specific price point. He includes a good, heavy gauge power cord with his regenerators but notes that upgr... | |
| Advice re CD Player upgrade requested @gabor2525. I am so glad you are pleased with it! No doubt a fantastic value. You should have many years of musical satisfaction from it. Don’t know if you are into vibration/resonance control or not, but a few Herbie’s Audio Labs Tenderfeet would... |
