| How do you tell your Cartridge needs replacing? Microscope required! | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 SE MB and Ambrosia Preamp Excellent designs from the late esteemed James Bongiorno (SAE, SWTP, Dynaco, GAS, Sumo, Spread Spectrum Technology). | |
| Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy? Keep and use the NAD! Nothing wrong with it sonically. Don't fall for the neurotic belief that spending more and more gets you a better preamp! Diminishing returns sets in quickly! | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? Ten feet from the front wall is way too far! No wonder they appear to lack bass! Try one or two feet instead! | |

| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? Does the OP "burn-in" a new laptop computer? A DAC is the same! If it doesn't work 100% from turn-on return it! Stop falling for this burn-in crap! | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @jjss49 : all DACs need filters to eliminate our-of-band high frequency garbage. These are call aliasing filters and suppress frequencies above 22khz. No music there! What you said was wrong: "... without filtering for clearest most balanced sound... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? "Most gear including cables need about a month to burn in". LOL! More malarkey from the "golden ears" contingent! | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? Put on your parachute. DACs don't need a warm-up or "burn-in". Stop listening to the uninformed and delusional! Mechanical things need a bit of "run-in" time - but not electronics. | |
