WADIA 381 n PERFECT WAVE COMBO
i don't use the ppp but do have dedicated lines, good pc's and a cryo'd psa quintet. think my power supply is pretty good at this point. could tell a difference every step of the way as i upgraded the power supply too. look forward to hearing your...

Rpg: did the noise develop/progress or has it been there from the start?. i don't hear any distortion on mine?. 
WADIA 381 n PERFECT WAVE COMBO
a few of us pw owners have found them to be very tweek sensitive. ic's as well as pc's really do change the sound. that's where personal preference kicks in regarding your desired end result/sound. ps audio even says so much on their web site.... ... 
WADIA 381 n PERFECT WAVE COMBO
can't comment on the 381 as i've never demoed it. can tell you the pw combo is outstanding. my digital source hunt ended after giving it a listen. took a while to tweek them to perfection (ic's, pc's, isolation) but once it's set up right....it's ...

or just use the same sd and end up with 2 pwd's instead =)seriously....you can use a single sd. just remember to remove the updated files before doing copying/loading updates for the 2nd peice.

i did get the nrg-1 on your recommendation. thank you for the good advise. would still like to hear a pure copper co-ax connection before i settle on one. cables i've used have been silver core and silver clad. if a nice used 100% copper line pops... 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
Desalvo: i'm using PSA power cords and can also give them a big thumbs up. got 2 ac-10's and 3 ac-5 along with 1 ac-3. can't say i tried anything else as my man Ron at liquid hi-fi recommended them to me when i went to upgrade oem pc's. there was ...

Room treatment success story
i'm a believer now too. no doubt it was best 600-700 i've ever spent on hi-fi. i went all in. ceiling, floor and walls along with some corner and window treatments. couldn't be happier with the results.great advise from some smart veterans of hi-f... 
Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners
spot on Donntn. couldn't agree with you more regarding simpler, more rhythmic works for beginners. i used the word "confused" in my previous post very deliberately. this is how i felt after listening to something complicated. i couldn't make sense...

i agree Rpg. the 170i is very cable sensitive. had been running an audioquest vdm-5 co-ax for a while and enjoying it. hooked up a wireworld silver starlight co-ax last week and could tell an immediate difference. can't say it sounded "better" but... 
Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners
great thread....thanks to all for the suggestions. have been getting into classical more in the past year or so but have been meandering around without much success. attempts to find "stuff i like" have been very hit and miss and often confusing. ... 
Your First Concert was.....
Lou Reed in the early 70's. he did a 30 minute version of heroin that blew my mind. think i was only 14 at the time but really into music already. sister and boyfriend took me. it was a small venue/big bar downtown chicago. $10 for a great show/time.
