Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
I will get back to you after I do some additional listening. I say this because I use it with my Cary 2A3 monoblocks (5 watts/ch.) and a Conrad Johnson 11-A (70 watt). I only tried it last night on the CJ. I wll know what there is to hear after I ... 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
I shipped my Bel Canto Dac-1 back one week ago for the upgrade and a hummmmming problem. I receive it back today (a lot faster than I anticipated) I am sure I need to break it in again however it sounds very good. There seems to be increased dynam... 
Power Cords, Should they all be from the
I am comming from a different direction. A variety of power cords can make components sound different. Find the combination that sounds the best to you. All expensive pc's don't always make the best music. Mikeg, your set-up of pc's sounds good ba... 
Is Bigger Better?
Bigger does not have to be better, however in this case it is! Two friends in different parts of the country purchased Whale Elites and have demoed them with their Viper, Fatboy (etc). I can't wait to order mine, the reviews are phenomenal! Brian ... 
Your Listening chair
I tried out all of the La-Z-Boy style chairs until I found the recliner/rocker that fit me just right! Most comfortable chair I ever sat on, fell asleep on, read on, listened to music on, etc. 
Kimber ks 1030-vs-1020?

Best Monitors used under $800
The post above mentions Legacy Audio Studio, on this site in Rosewood for $650. If it is in 9/10 as add says its a good deal for a very good speaker. I own a pair myself (I would not sell) good company, good speaker. Can be used as main speakers o... 
Bel Canto or Birdland?
I have demoed both of them side by side in my sound room at home. They were both extremely good! The Bel Canto Dac-1 must use a pre-amp. The Birdland can be used with a pre-amp OR can be used by itself and will drive any system. I have communicate... 
meridian power cord upgrade
Brutus, I have tried a few inexpensive power cords ($100-$260) and the difference can be insignificant and/or hard to distinguish. When I tried others (which happened to be more expensive) I noticed significant differences. If you don't,(as Redkiw... 
meridian power cord upgrade
Redkiwi- I agree 100%. Sometimes I wonder if poeple say such things to see others fly off the handle. I greatly improved the sound of my system by doing many things over the period of several years. Power cords were added last, but what a differen... 
HomeGrown Audio Impressions
Greetings, I demoed Home Grown (v) Silver Audio Bullets 4.0 The Home Grown are very good (especially for the price) however I prefer the Silver Audio which do cost more but were more dimensional and allowed me to hear more detail and additional ba... 
meridian power cord upgrade
Brutus, We have read about this spiral viewpoint before. All I can tell you is on my reference system I have tested four different power cords and can hear a difference with each different power cord I have demoed. 
Silver Banana Plugs
For what its worth I have been doing some very careful listening tests biwired (v) single wire using silver jumpers purchased used from Silver Audio. With good jumpers its not worth my investment to purchase another complete run.
