Bi-wiring with different metals?

McCormack DNA-1 Best Power Amplifier under 1000
Has anyone ever compared a McCormack DNA-1 (stock or Deluxe) to vintage Threshold amps? At times amps like the 400A or Stasis series amps can be found for under $1000 as well. Were there audible differences between the McCormack & Threshold ge...

Sumo service and parts
For Sumo service the guy to talk to is Mike Bettinger. He knows Ampzilla and Sumo amps better than James B himself I think. He's servicing my Sumo 9+ right now and he has kept me appraised of all the work he has done. He has even sent pics to me s... 
Sumo Andrometer III or McCormack DNA 1
I actually did the reverse of this. At one point I had a McCormack TLC-1 preamp with a Sumo Nine + amp with an Oppo BDP-83 as a source. I was watching Blu-Ray concerts & DVD concerts on a weekend. I have to say the whole experience was a good ...

Cables For OHM Speakers

smallest footprint cd player
DwhittWhat did you end up going with? I'm curious about the Virtue Audio CDP and how it sounds. I believe it is the Piano M1? It got a rave review from Stereomojo and was their budget CDP of the year too I think. Has anyone got one and care to sha... 
Equipment not worth fixing, what to do?
I agree with Entrope. List them here, E*ay, or Craigslist. There is always someone who will want to try and fix the non-working equipment you have. Just be sure to clearly specify that everything is non-working/as-is.
