Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Frederik, Charles is lucky he has only One cap per speaker. What happens if you have 15 caps in each speaker. Do you have family discounts. 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear
It takes 30,000.00 to finally make the Audio Research sound good, wow I'll stick with my preamp. 
Klyne power amp
I saw a prototype amp he made at CES, I think it was 1997. He was using his preamp, timbre dac, and ESP Concert Grand Speakers. He never put this production. 
VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage?
Alon, I agree with you. I had many other preamps before. I had the CAT, First Sound, Conrad Johnson, Audio Research Ref 2 Mark 2, VTL 7.5, Reference Line. None of these could touch the VAC. My friend has the Coincident line stage that competes wit...

Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad?
Dodgealum, thats exactly why I got into Jazz 20 years ago. One can actually hear what each individual player is doing. Listen to a jazz guitarist like West Montgomery or Dog Raney compared to a rock guitarist. No comparison 
The best way to break in speakers.
If someone hears your new speaker even if its not fully broken in and comments negatively, you can say they aren't broken in it. This statement works well for electronics as well.

Not at all the Oppo so more natural. I own a Basis table and Vector arm and ZYX universe. The Oppo is much closer to the vinyl than is the MPS5 which is way too lean.
