@bigkidz - thanks for your feedback. That's helpful.  
Purifi Class D: Junk?
I had a pair of Nord Hypex NC500 monoblocks a couple years ago and was kind of disappointed with the sound  quality. These amps came with input buffer boards that supported the Sparkos and Sonic Imagery discrete op amps, and I tried them both. I p... 
FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
@itsjustme  - I agree with you 100% that the current regulations aren't particularly relevant for the kind of amps that most audiogon contributors would care about. But these regulations were originally developed for less sophisticated customers a... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus?
No, I meant compared to the well burned in Terminator.  
Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus?
The Gaia is primarily a reclocker, but also has buffering and optical isolation between the inputs and outputs, and can select between many different types of digital inputs and outputs to multiple types as well. When used with the Terminator Plus... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus?
I have had my Terminator Plus for a little over a week. I upgraded from a Terminator that had for about 10 months. I added a Denafrips Gaia to my Terminator about a month ago. This was a significant improvement to the Terminator. My T+ is still br...

@cal3713  the Audionote Tantalum resistors that are on sale are the magnetic variety. I've seen a few posts from people when I was researching resistors who tried those and were not happy. I think the non magnetic versions are supposed to be much ...

@pragmasi - Thanks for your response. I agree the Vishay thin films sound great. I am going to try to use these in as many places in the signal path I can. I am using the Salas DCG3 circuit for the output stage (in a balanced configuration) and th...

Thanks. Is there an online retailer for the Charcroft CAR resistors?

@cal3713 I think so. I got a couple of email notifications but I'm not sure if it was a reply in your system page or to this post.  
DAC upgrade?
I also think you're better off waiting until you can justify spending a bit more. While the Modi Multibit MAY be a bit better than the internal DAC, I doubt it would be much of an improvement. There are a number of DACs that retail closer to $1000...
