Goldpoint XLR switch
I have a Goldpoint switch with RCA's and it works wonderfully. I cannot discern the difference using it or not. I had to buy one since I ran out of single ended inputs on my system. I also have used Cardas XLR>RCA adapters and they work very go... 
Thinking of buying Infinity IRS Betas
I bought a pair of high energy EMIT speakers from the Ebay link above. The seller is good and he has a ton of Infinity items. They were new as noted. These were for the Renaissance 90 speakers I own. Bought them as spares just in case.Good luck, John 
Best live albums from 1970's college days
I gotta toss in Rick Wakemans' "Journey to the Center of the Earth". I scored a MFSL copy years ago and the fidelity is outstanding. I can hear the orchestra members accidently hitting their bows, a couple of pages turning, even a cough or two. It... 
In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later
This is an awesome post. Describes what the whole music thing is all about. Hey Foster, just think how cool it's going to sound on your 70th, 80th (and hopefully beyond) birthday. -John 
Problem with NPR
I am glad you brought this up. I listen to Radio Paradise almost every day. The fidelity is astounding. I emailed them asking what do they do to make it sound so darn good. Bill was nice enough to respond. He uses hi res digital lossless music alm...

By Jove I think I've got it.Had a royal pain getting the USB2 driver to install for the Benchmark DAC. For others; You must activate the USB 2 on the DAC in order to install the driver on a Win 7 PC as per the instructions. Problem is the USB 4X w...

Good morning; I got it to play last night. Thank you Dtc.I will see what I can do again this evening to fine tune the player. I now need to figure out why my PC wont install the USB2 driver. Evidently this will move the performance to where it sho... 
Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed
My wifes 30K Acura TSX cost half as much as my E350 & has twice the stereo system. She's more pissed off about it than I am I think. Although I aint all that happy about it.Makes me wonder how the Krell system is in the new Acura RLX. That car... 
Any good FM tuners around for less than $200?
The guys above forgot more than I'll ever know:But I ended up with a Yamaha TX-950 & a Magnum Dynalab antenna. It was a very highly rated tuner a few years back when I purchased it. It works very well even though I hardly fire it up any more. ... 
Sloppy but Famous Contest
Nancy Wilson (Heart) once said,"I was a better guitar player when I was younger. Sheesh, I just don't get it". I saw David Lindley the other night at Mccabe's Guitar Shop. I heard him cover his ass by playing the same thing twice. Anyone who can d... 
Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
I've been wanting to try it out for years. I have rolls of solid core 12 gauge house wire doing nothing. No spades, just fold a loop around a pair of needle nose pliers and try it out.Would'nt it be a pisser if I liked it better...? Tears of sorro... 
Ripping w/dbpoweramp or JRiver
I also have a PC with Windows 7 & Jriver. I ripped all my Cd's using Itunes in lossless and play them back in WASAPI through Jriver. Took me a year of messing around but it sounds & works extremely well. Iam with you on the eraly grave spe... 
12 VDC trigger cable
When I went to hookup my KCT preamp to my FPB amp I had to order a special 12v adapter from Krell. It shouldnt be that way but it is. The KCT also has a couple std 12v trigger input/outputs I believe, if that is your pre amp. It has been so long s...
