| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? Probably Esoteric, their evolution of the legendary Teac VRDS cd drive. Here are some pictures for you to see just how robust they are:http://http//www.6moons.com/audioreviews/esoteric18/transports.pdf | |

Congrats on your new amps also, I've only heard atma-sphere amps once, at the Capitol Audiofest this summer, and the sound was fantastic. I am sure you will be very happy and finding out ... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? Charles,Glad you chimed in and its pretty funny I wasn't looking for a new dac, love the YDA-1, and still do, I put what I thought was a silly low bid in on an auction here and was totally shocked when I won and had a new dac on the way! So I want... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? @lowrider57 ah well that makes much more sense and I would agree in fact generally speaking I think budget gear, not just Dacs, do sound better than they used to. Cheers. | |

| I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it? I totally agree with jmcgrogan2 it depends but I see some pretty cool tubed preamps for sale here in your price range.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-blue-circle-audio-bc21-1-tube-preamplifier-upgraded-9911-2017...https://www.audiogon.com/l... | |
| Blood Shot Records @sbank If you mean the Asylum Street Spankers no they are a now defunct Texas swing band out of Austin. | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp Not sure where "high repair costs" of older tubed gear are coming from. Point to point wired tubed gear is pretty easy for a competent tech to repair, to me its one of the bonuses of running tubes. My amp is 17 years old, I've owned it for 10, in ... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Pretty sure my 10 foot single wire pair weighed 11 pounds for context. | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? To echo what someone said above a great strategy is to buy used, tons of great SS amps in your price range and below. Buy smart and resell and try something else until you settle on your final amp.
