| Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed Wander over to the cable section of audio asylum or maybe do a search here. I think the JPS digital cable improves the sound on my system, however, the trick to it seems to be just an rc network molded into the plug. The good news is that it can b... | |
| Anyone else feel left out? Probably 90% of the global adult population could only dream of having 10% of your budget available for something as frivolous as a stereo. No need to feel left out. Good luck, I think with work you will be able to put together a killer system. My... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night All ac wire connections (breaker panel, receptacle, etc.) are good and snug? IC connections look clean, etc. ?Not saying this is your problem, but it is something I've learned to check for. Keeping in mind that fiddling with 120vac wires can kill ... | |
| How important are transports? Steve N - I appreciate your perspective, but I'm guessing that you don't have your DAC, personal computer, and house fan all plugged in to the same power strip. My only point being that when evaluating audio components that are bad about creating ... | |
| How important are transports? I wonder if the difference in sounds with different transports is sometimes related to how the particular transport is polluting the incoming 120v line? I do get a better sound from my system with a JPS labs digital cable connected to the cd playe... | |
| How important are transports? Probably depends on the specific innards of the DAC you are using. Per a musical fidelity dac review in stereophile, that company's designer (Antony Michalson or something like that)says they reclock the bit stream in the DAC, and so which particu... | |

| Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues I'm a blues/rock and roll guy. I finally found happiness (and believe it or not contentment) with Dynaudio confidence 3's, a rogue magnum 99 pre and a rogue zeus. However, you might listen to my system and think that it stinks, it is a preference ... | |
| BAT vs Pass Labs Amp If U know U R going to change speakers why buy the amp now?Traditional wisdom is to get the source and speakers right and then worry about synergestic amplification and cabling.Buying too much amp has its drawbacks just like buying too little (or ... | |
| Non-magnetic Stainless Steel? Trivia - stainless steel was discovered at a plant in northern Indiana. Test alloys were stored outside, one day a janitor got curious and asked why a particular piece of steel that had been out in the weather for quite a while wasn't rusted. Doub... | |
| Fedex or UPS? I love the notes about good packing!!Since it is inevitable that some rough handling will occur on some shipments..... | |
| SACD VS Vinyl for Jazz and Classical One thing to consider, there are rumors that SACD is on its way out. | |
| Shoul I consider a power conditioner? FWIW, I have two favorite dealers. One doesn't sell pc's because he says that most of his customers aren't happy with them in the long term, they get used to the change in sound and find they prefer the system without them. The other only sells Ri... | |
| Help me find a Simple Hi End Turntable VPI.You can buy one with arm & cartridge all ready set up (which is what I did). When it gets to your house it takes about 90 seconds to drop the arm in place, add a bit of oil & plug the arm in. I've gotten comfy with tweaking and replaci... |
