| the magic of power cords 04-07-14: CbozdogJmcgrogan2, if I understand correctly, basically you feel that "no, prior to engaging in swaps, etc.. one cannot tell which component, cable, etc.. is mostly responsible for what shortcoming of the overall sound". I would agree wi... | |
| the magic of power cords 04-07-14: CbozdogHow do you tell which aspect of the system falls short at one given moment (without going through the straight A/B)? Does a shortcoming in PC (blur, boomy bass, etc..) sound different to you than a shortcoming in IC, SC, room etc.... | |

| Good preamp match for my CA-200? I had a CA-200 many years ago, and I found that it worked best when paired with the Classe CP-60 preamp. However, if you are looking to change you amp down the road too, then just looking for the best mate for a Classe CA-200 amp may not be the be... | |
| Will an after market PC improve the sound of CDP?? I agree with both Lowrider57 and Foster_9, PC's differences can be very noticeable, but are also very system dependent. Aftermarket PC's can vary the sound quite a bit, just as much as interconnects, though I would not always call it an improvemen... | |
| Any Tips on Buying? 03-31-14: MofimadnessEven if you "Made An Offer" the "Buy It Now" takes precedent over that offer. You still would have lost the sale.This is true, it just happened to me about a month ago. I made an offer for a local purchase, the seller contacte... | |
