Your homemade tweaks?
MrdecibelWas the rope caulk that you used called Moretite? I saw in a McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe FS some time ago on another site that had rope caulk on the corners of the amp on the inside as well as on the caps on the output boards. 
Best Digital RCA cable under $100 new or used?
Hi HoopsterFor under $100 if you can find them I really enjoy the McCormack/Mod Squad Wonderlink J Digital Coax cable. A cable that I would buy myself but can't since I have the Wonderlink is the Black Cat Veloce Digital Coax cable. It is made by ... 
Decent Power Conditioner in the $ 300-$400s?
What about Richard Gray's older RGPC 400 or 400s models? Most can be found here for $350 to $400. 
McCormack DNA .5? Do I need more power?
Anyone ever use a McCormack DNA .5 stock or Deluxe to power a pair of KEF 104/2 speakers? Anyone care to share their thoughts on how the combination sounded? Did the DNA .5 provide enough power to them?Specs of the KEF 104/2s.Model 104/2 Specifica... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
From the HGTV picture it sure looks like he could have done a better job in cable routing. I'm surprised he didn't do any cable elevation. Some really nice systems I've checked out in the Virtual Systems area use risers. I did notice though he did... 
New Zu Mission cable
SalmonscWhat didn't impress you about the Mission ICs or SCs? Did you audition them and find the Mission line lacking? What were your issues with them? So far my only gripe is the pricing. The Mission line is still available for 65% off.TholtI'm n... 
Treble harshness - interconnects as culprits?
Hi MizunoI kind of agree with Facten's statement."Do think, if nothing else, that you are short changing yourself in what music your are probably "not hearing or isn't being revealed" using the radioshack ICs and whatever comparable SCs you are us... 
Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1
AaronThis thread will start a rather vigourous discussion amongst many members and it will probably get really dirty. You may not get an answer to your question. One A'gon member who has had good experiences with the UMC-1 is Robbob. Search for hi... 
Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain?
I haven't done the vibrapods under my Oppo BDP-83 but I did do mass loading on top of the player. 2 5 lb plate weights along with a sheet of Acoustimat under the weights. It definitely helped with the vibration when the BDP-83 is playing any kind ... 
CDP with minimal controls on front panel
Greetings allThanks everyone for chiming in and sharing. I'm surprised at the number of other higher-end players out that have a similar design in terms of minimalist front panel controls. Good to know.The looks and design of the Pioneer PD-D9 J i... 
New Zu Mission cable
With Zu's current deals on the Mission cable line I'm beginning to wonder if I got a deal at all. I participated in the early promotion back in September and yes I have been enjoying the Mission SCs I purchased. I really felt though that I got a g... 
Owning too many speakers
Mikey44"I think I have 25 pairs, all full size (some even FULLER like 2 pairs of AR9's) except 1 set of Dahlquist M903 bookshelves."Where do you store all these full size speakers? How do you swap them out? Do you have them all on dolleys and can ... 
Song covers that are better than the originals
I'm probably a minority in this thought but I preferred Gun N' Roses renditions of Live and Let Die and Knockin on Heaven's Door to the originals. I especially like the Knockin on Heaven's Door off of the GnR Live Era 2 CD set where Axl's says Gim...

SMc Audio Ultra DAC. Thoughts and Opinions?
Thanks both of you for chiming in. You definitely have me thinking about different types of DACs. I'm also following that other recent thread about new DACs and older DACs that you both have chimed in on as well.I guess there aren't many members w...
