| Check This Out! Even paying four-figures for a DAC these days is not necessary. There are excellent DAC's available for three-figures: SMSL, Topping ... more! | |
| Check This Out! Almost $13K is an absurd price! Add up the parts cost and I doubt they cost even 25% of the price. DAC's are the equivalent of sound cards. Those can be built for less than $100. Charging five-figures for a DAC is legal robbery! | |
| RIP SRV It could have been Eric Clapton on that helicopter! | |
| I'm asking for a recommendation for a quality microscope. The OP wants a USB microscope. | |
| Can the Acurus A200 amp drive the Magnepan LRS+ ? Yes! But get a sub and cross it over at 60hz to relieve some of the strain on the LRS. Better bass will be the result. | |

| Looking for right Mark Levinson Preamp to pair with No 532 Amp Get an ML1 preamp. This was actually the second preamp from Mark Levinson.The first was the JC2, designed by John Curl. The preamps after the ML1 are just to sell the Levinson marketing hype and garner more profit. | |

| Is this a bargain? The ART1000 with its coils mounted above the stylus tip is what JVC did with the MC-1 mc cartridge back in 1980. Nothing new here! | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system @mike4597 +1: Tube amps have a weak link with their output transformers. Distortion and phase issues/frequency response are difficult to reduce/eliminate. | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? I bet if you did a blind listening test of cable A versus cable B between preamp and amp you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. The brain is easily fooled when sight is involved. | |
| Magnavox 196 197 amplifier balance pot removal/bypass help please There are two wires connected to the potentiometer. Unsolder them and then join them together with a bit of solder after putting a piece of heat shrink tubing over the wires. Or use a piece of black electrical tape over the solder joint. Then you ... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @pinwa : +1 | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters The overhang difference between 16.8 mm and 16.3 mm is inconsequential. Even 17.5 mm is not critical. I doubt you can hear the difference from any of these. |
