| Any experiences with a Diyeden Great March II? Unfortunately, not every piece of audio gear with XLR connections is truly balanced (i.e., has fully floating ground with no reference to earth). I hope this is not the case with your gear. | |
| Tube preamp with balanced in/out and remote? Nick at Promethius is working on a remote version of his 2 box refence TVC. S/b in the $1k range, more or less. | |
| Esoteric G-ORb Master Clocks in general dCS contends that their external clock is superior to slaving the transport to the DAC clock as master for lowering jitter.While one would expect a company which has a $10k external clock to contend such, others have told me the improvement (with ... | |
| Most Reliable CDPs? Top loaders obviate having to deal with failure of the drawer mechanism. Optical pickups (laser assembly) are not terribly costly to replace and have an average lifespan measured in tens of thousands of hours. I've not owned a top loading player s... | |

| Review: KCI Falcon Interconnect I have two systems with BNC-BNC cdt>>DAC connection, so both cables have a home. You will be very happy with the Falcon, I'm sure! | |
| Most important component?? Reality is, every component can significantly improve or limit one's system.I agree with my Cache Valley neighbor, Duke about room/speaker interface and amp/speaker synergy being crucial. Preamp/amp, particularly proper impedance and sensitivity m... | |
| The Most Realistic Speaker Technology? Please do some reading on speaker/amp matching and view these components as one integral unit. Also, as others have said, factor in your musical tastes and preferred listening volume. Oh, and also the room (placement constraints, treatments...). T... | |

| Line Array Speakers info please I own a pair of Selah Audio line arrays which maker Rick Craig dubbed "Array of Desire". I drive them with Atma MA-1 monoblocks and the arrays' impedance was designed specifically for my OTLs (a very flat nominal 10 Ohms). The arrays are just unde... | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective The "Type 1 vs Type 2 sound" continuum proposed early on in this thread I believe has some merit.I've owned and enjoyed an Audio Note DAC 4.1x Signature (the pre-transformer coupled version) for four years now. Source is an Ensemble Dirondo upsamp... |
