| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Much as I love my Dynaudio Evokes (they've brought me much closer than the Excites did) I will always miss my Dynaudio Audience 82's. The Evoke 50's are pretty special for sure but the Audience 82's were just pure magical. Though in all fairness t... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I would have to say B&W. I went and auditioned the CDM1NT back in the day and thought they were tremendous! I bought them on the spot. However after extended periods of listening my ears would ring (yes I must confess I do like to listen at lo... | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? Thank you @soix great advice. Kinda sucks as the Modius is out of stock right now, but worth the wait I guess. Think I'll take your advice and go that route...Thank you again for all the advice my friend, sincerely appreciated! | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? Thank you @soix and @jasonbourne52!I will have to use the toslink to connect the dac to my cd player. I have it narrowed down to the Schiit Modius and the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100...Can't thank you all enough for your advice and recommendation... | |

| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp Thanks @rushfan71, of course I get your point us Rush fans truly speak the same language:) | |
| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp @rushfan71 (I am also a true Rush worshipper) my intent on this post was more to hear others' opinions and experiences as to whether it makes more sense for synergy purposes to stick with the same manufacturer throughout your system as far as cabl... | |
| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp But a used Super would certainly be nice if I could find one :) | |
| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp Thank you @mwh777 ! Appreciate you following up and clarifying, and for the added detail. And I so know the market has been dry lately for Transparent cords, I've been hunting religiously, LOL! But I've only been hunting here and Ebay. I'll expand... | |

But this is a place where I respect the opinions/experience/advice of all of you and always appreciate anyone just taking the time to respond. I... | |
| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp Thanks so much for the replies! @mwh777 very insightful and helpful! Always great to hear from a fellow Transparent owner. Great call on trying out the Transparent before parting with the Shunyata and looking at upgrading the High Performance for ... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Great thread...I look at it this way (and for me it WAS always music first), however once I got into and discovered the "higher end" beyond mass market is when I started listening to jazz. Before my first "real" system I would have never ever even... | |
| Stupid Power Conditioner question but... Thank you very much Jim! Great reply and sincerely appreciated. I honestly had been thinking about plugging the SimAudio amp directly into the outlet. I already have the Panamax plugged into one of the receptacles. Plus I also have a whole house s... | |
| Going back to whence I came... Thanks n80! Very well said, and you are so right - doesn't matter how because once you get there (or get BACK there in my case :) whatever path it was was obviously the right one! :) | |
