| Space-Teech Super Rectifier: Do I need it? Lloyd,Thanks for your response. The "Super Rectifier" replaces the standard tube with two larger ones, plus some electronic wizardry and a connecting plug. I trust Al implicitly, but his products cater to the high end of the market and I guess my ... | |

| DAC: Scott Nixon vs. Eastern Electric Fot those interested, I'm awaiting delivery of a Scott Nixon UFO; I'll post my comparison to the EE, using my Space Tech/Yamaha changer combo as a reference. Go tubes! | |
| DAC: Scott Nixon vs. Eastern Electric Thanks for your response; isn't Taiwan part of the US? Would you rate the Scott Nixon as equal to, or better than, the Eastern Electric in treating classical music? | |
| Coax vs. Toslink Got a nice 2-meter optical cable from Atlona; they also make decently-priced coaxial cables - They're out of San Jose (Support local industry).I think that going through the optical link from the cable box dodges the built-in Comcast HD/Dolby deco... | |
| Alternatives to Emotiva UMC-1/audio vs HDMI Thanks to all for the thoughtful input; have decided to go with an Integra 9.8, primarily for the Audyssey set-up, but also because it appears to be more machine for the dollar. I'll let you know how it turns out. Cheers, Jon BarnesP.S.: You know ... |
