| Garrard 301/401 audition request Lawrence, i just had the most beautiful plinth built by Woodsong Audio for my 301. He also did a full rebuild for me. I can tell you it is one sweet piece, in my eyes it's the crown jewels of my system.I've had to lay it up in storage for now sinc... | |
| Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2 With such few "upgrades" it seems like a strange move for them, especially considering the price increase. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? There's always the Ultra AL...much more affordable and 95% of the performance (if not 100%).disclaimer...I'm selling 8 of them since I'm disassembling my entire system. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I'm not even going to get into the convo of tube vs. ss as there is no definitive answer or empirical evidence one way or another.Anyway, If we're comparing "modded" units Paul Hynes has a modded Metrum octave using his shunt regulators and an upg... | |
| Any punk fans care to give some band suggestions? I love a good punk album but sound quality will be crap on most of them.Early AFI, sensefield, alkaline trio, offspring, Nofx, ramones, sublimeIf you find some good ones please share. | |
| Dacs For My Devore Nines and Leben That would be me on the Shindo/Nines combo with the Metrum...still a fan. I'm interested in the newly announce Metrum Hex as a replacement but may still keep the Octave since I love the sound so much. | |

| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? Sabai,Did you change out the female IEC's for male IEC's or do you have custom power cords? | |
| What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale? I have no idea but maybe useful laser life is starting to become an issue and people are hedging their bets? This is complete speculation though. | |
| Tivo Dumb. Also, I have to say it, Swampwalkers response is not helpful at all. | |
| Tivo Dumb. The cable card standards set by the FCC are finally being enforced which is the cause of your issue. I had to reactivate my cable card under the new standard with Verizon FiOS to avoid the same situation. Took a 10 minute customer service call for... | |
| metrum octave dac or cary or wyred4sound and more I'll add a little more...1. Agree with Lewinskih012. Some Octaves will pass 24/192...not sure why they all don't but Lewinskih01 is correct about them only being rated 24/176.4.3. I'm using a Metrum Octave with Shindo/Devore 9's and loving it.

| which are the best headshell wires ?? Oyaide makes some high quality leads...you can get them from the cable co dot com | |
| Metrum Octave First Impressions I would be wary of the one you speak of. I purchased mine direct about a year ago. I believe the price has slightly increased since then but you're looking at about $1000 USD |
