Tonality of Jay's Transport?
My Jay's transport plays FLAC files from JRiver that I burn without problem.  
Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components?
How about because it is hard to do. I am a clinical research scientist as well and have a deep appreciation of biased ascertainment of endpoints. Nevertheless, it is fairly easy for me to hear differences in amps, preamps, dacs and CD transports ... 
Sad to say I need a new amp…
@wb27 so when the wife/spouse says why are u spending big dollars on an amplifier u have a much better excuse than most of us. I tell my wife, I just wanted another amp. At least u can say that your amp died on you!  
Project CD Transport Service
@wharfy I did something to the power supply during set up. Very nice sounding player but I just dont know that it is very robust. I ordered a Linear power supply which I had planned to do anyways for better sonics. It will be about a month before ...

@Wharfy thanks for your response.  I think I messed up the power supply so I will first replace the wall wart with the Linear Tube Audio linear power supply.

@stuartk @Nonoise  I try and describe what my ears hear and my brain prefers with an accurate characterization as to why I prefer a certain audio presentation.  I also prefer to stay away from some of the toxic interchanges that occur in this for... 
Tonality of Jay's Transport?
I have both.  Jay's for sure is built like a tank compared to the Project.  In my reference though they sound different, the choice of which one u like will boil down to personal preference.  In my best system, I like the Jay's a bit better.  It g... 
peachtree gan 400 is very good
At some point I might pick up the Peachtree GAN amplifier.  The LSA Voyager GAN sounds to me like the love child of a high caliber contemporary tube amp and excellent class A solid state amp - minus the balls to the wall low end.  I either hated o... 
Warning for Revel lovers
Rough story.  Now u could of bought my heavenly sounding modded Revel F208s that my Spatial X5s have replaced....  
Has anyone tried the Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers?
Got them and love them....  
Recommendation for Digital Coax
My vote is for Cullen Cable...  
Duelund/Mundorf Ultra Loudspeaker Purifiers
