| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @immatthewj Merry Christmas! Speaking of identifying gains or losses…I can only share my experience. I believe self-awareness is a gift.

| Auarender N10 On Sale @hickamore You can always step up to N20 :-) I concur with the advise you received so far, I wouldn’t trade for N10. The newer versions (N150, N200 and N20) are better in terms of perceived detail, low frequency extension and slam. The older ge... | |

| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? “maybe you’re someone who buys the sales pitch that you’re sold instead of someone who knows what they’re doing” @brianlucey That’s quite presumptuous on your part…LOL! Since you asked and folks with an aptitude to learn may benefit from this i... | |
