| Ferrite cores on cables I have used them very successfully on my PC which supplies my streaming on my system and they have got rid of an incredible amount of noise in my system and for me at least it's all for the better. | |
| JCAT PC Cards I use both the Network and the USB cards. What a difference they make to just using the motherboard slots. If you do decide to go for them make sure you get the ones with the upgraded clocks. | |
| Great classical pianists When I was a young record collector my pianistic god was Arrau who couldn't put a finger wrong for me. When it came to the eighties though he just became slow and cumbersome and a lot of the recordings during that period should never have been rel... | |
