| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? NO! Same for a microwave, hair dryer, fan, turntable. | |
| Planar headphones HiFi Man is a good choice for a magnetic planar headset. Available for around $500. I wouldn't spend more! | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. 20 to 20khz and 100db sensitivity. Able to hold it in the palm of my hand! | |
| Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000? Perreaux made excellent SS gear! Why they are overlooked beats me! | |
| Daisy Chaining- Yamaha S-701 and Mitsubishi DA10dc Amp/Mitsubishi Da-P20 Preamp Without a tape-out on the Yamaha it won't work! That's strange! Even all the old Jap receivers had tape-out jacks! Are you sure you haven't overlooked the tape-out jacks? | |
| Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000? The Plinius weighs less than 37 lbs and is $1100. The Perreaux weighs 68 lbs and costs less! Which do you think has a better power supply? | |
| Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000? Perreaux 2150B for around $900 on eBay. 340/680/920wpc@8/4/2ohms. Made in New Zealand like Plinius. A better amp for the money doesn't exist! I have one for use with power-hungry speakers like my DQ10's! | |

| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables I am sure that Synergistic Research will be happy to sell you a cryo-ed Rhodium-plated pair of jumpers for $500! | |
| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables Why do many here think that two or three inches of metal have an effect upon the sound of a speaker? | |
| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables If you are a high roller get another set of Heimdall's. Otherwise the cheap B&W jumpers will do just fine! And save you thousands! | |

| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Audiophile fuses are flying saucer science! | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Not new but my most recent purchase: a Quatre Gain Cell DG250 amp in real nice condition from a Virginia eBay seller. $150+$28 shipping. The Audio Critic gave it a positive review using it to drive the DQ10’s back in ’77. I have the DQ10’s so it s... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? In an A/B comparison the unit with the higher output voltage will sound better. That’s how we humans respond! The difference can be as little as .1 of a volt or less! That is why matching the output levels is so important! This applies to DAC'S an... |
