Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
They are in two completely different classes of quality and sophistication IMO. I have a friend who has the Nixon, and I have a Brick (soon to be Cosecant), and I liked the Brick better, much better. But there are alot of variables with systems et... 
Is USB overrated as decent digital source?
I actually auditioned the Bel Canto DAC 3 prior to auditioning the Brick and was not as impressed, and the price was really high for the sound. It sounded stale in my system. The DAC chip they use in there (TI) is largely a commodity chip and in m...

I measured out tonight, from edge to edge the measurements are 9.25 inches for the fronts, and 8 inches for the rears. Once I hear back from Paul I will place my order. I am actually kind of siked to stabilize these speakers finally. It is somethi... 
Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system
I have a brand new VTL 5.5 and it has brought my system to a whole new level of detail and resolution. VTL is a great product, service is very good from the company, albeit very slow.

Thanks Narrod, I agree with you too. Sonics is the last thing I am going for with this purchase. I spoke with Paul today and he was fantastic to deal with over the phone, so I will be ordering a set after I measure out my speakers.

Thanks guys...I agree they are a little pricey, but with the wife "onboard" I am free to splurge! Woooohoooo! I am curious to know if you notice any sonic benefits from them, and what they were for you. I am mainly doing this for stability and I l...

Thanks Tvad...I read so many positive things about the BC se it just seemed like the right avenue to travel. I think it is important to system match properly when adding something. Some of the pieces I was originally thinking about might be outcla...

Thanks Hodu, Fishwater, very informative, exactly what I needed to hear....A this point I think I am leaning towards the Black Cube with the larger power supply, I will start there and move ahead with the table, or vice versa. Seems like the phono...

I have been searching, and completely understand the concept. I am looking for a helpful individual to contribute and offer up some suggestions. I will continue to search, like I have been, in the meantime.

Thanks everyone....Not sure what MM or MC is, I have an idea...Moving Magnet, or Moving Coil??? Either way, I have no idea why it is important-sorry. Whatever it is, I want to know, as I don't want to learn I missed some very important detail afte... 
Wavelength Brick USB DAC tube rolling?
Thats a very good reason to use it then, your are well researched. I am sure there are benefits too, so kudos to that set up. Yeah the Cosecants don't pop up much on the used side, although there was one here on Agon, a version 1 I believe. I want... 
Wavelength Brick USB DAC tube rolling?
Who said something bad about the Brick? It is a wonderful piece...I have one, and I am waiting for my Cosecant-about a month. I love the Brick, haven't tube rolled, heard the same thing from Gordon about it not having a big effect. I would try any...
