Passive Pre - No Regrets?
Pubul57 If you want to get a feel of the passive you can get a Luminous Audio passive, they supposedly calculate the impedance and sell you the passive, it is a shunt passive with a pot to ground, A friend has one and it does let you get the feel ... 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
I went from Active to passive, It was very difficult to get the passive working properly. It is hard work but it will be rewarded.As a rule the output impedance of the source should be 10 times lower than the input impedance. My DAC has an output ... 
Best super teeters to add to pair of horn speakers
I tried Fostex FT17h and Beyma Cp21-f the Beyma was much nicer and not that expensive, the best trick I learned was to use a pair of mono speaker volume controls from Radio Shack, they use transformers and are really good to adjust volume with out... 
EAD ultradisc2000/dsp7000 VS Northstar M192
I think the comparison will be more a matter of taste than quality, I use a EAD 7000 III y tried it against other DACs, (not the Northstar) and i like the flavor of the EAD better....I agree with Davjohnson, the transport makes more of a change.Do... 
The under 10K speaker
Desalvo55, Do yourself a favor, go to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and listen to the speakers before you buy. I was always a Single driver fan, when I got there I hated all systems with single drivers in the show and noticed that to my taste the ...

Ultimate best convention, can it happen
I used to think that people have different preferences, until last year when 5 audio friends inlcuding me went to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.We went to most rooms we always disagreed (as we ussually do)on systems some like this one better some ...

USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC?
Thank you very much for your answers Steve and Hagtech!Does the lower jitter correlate to better sound...I am dubious there...How does the Squeezebox works? Is it bidirectonal? I know it has about 5 minutes of buffer, does that help with jitter? W... 
Very short speaker cable length recommended?
I have tried almost all lenghts in my system, I am using Very short speaker cables between my tube amps and Cabasse speakers. I am also running passive attenuator instead of an active preamp. It just did not sound right with long cables, I blamed ... 
Analog cables for TT
Yes yes, normal InterConnects (IC) but given the ultra low signal (0.23 mV), there should be some kinda special thing..I would imagine that shielding is very important due to the faint signal going through, I dont think big copper conductors would...
