PS Perfect wave power cord
i've got ac-3, ac-5's and ac-10's in my system and couldn't be happier. great line of pc's imho. i recommend giving them a listen. 
Wadia ITransport
had a chance to do a little A-B comparo last night. the 170i is an very nice sounding piece of gear but could not best my perfect wave transport. given their price points ($400 vs $3000)....i would have been shocked if it had.the PWT provided bett... 
the hrx format
i'm with Dtsag completely.1) HRx.....outstanding sound. 2) Selection....ridiculus (none existent) 3) PSA I2S-12 is almost a must imho.cheersLev 
Wadia ITransport
i just added a 170i and am very impressed. followed this thread's advise regarding tweeks and couldn't be happier. picked up a used audioquest nrg-1 pc and a vdm-5 rca on the cheap. feeding the i170 to my ps audio perfect wave dac. the pw dac is d... 
what are the "must have" CD's
New Order Substance....sonically, it's got everything and then some. decent recording that will test your gear well when things get loud. good music to boot imho. 
Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?
i think you can eliminate #1 as an option MrTennis. seems you have plenty of run time on your pair judging from one of your previous posts.if you prefer the sound of your cd2 then it's gotta be #2 or #3...or a combo of both?.i'm amazed that you us... 
Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?
been an owner of the pair since august. while the PWD/PWT are nice piece's by themselves, when paired together using a high grade I2S cable, they are out of this world imho.i've never heard anything like it in the digital realm. whether it's hi re...

levinson 436monos vs. krell mcx 350monos
i know what you mean Steve. it really is a shame what HK did to a once top tier name/brand. i wonder if they even know/care about the horrible reputation they have out here?. i actually liked the sound of the 336 a tad better then the 432 but refu... 
levinson 436monos vs. krell mcx 350monos
now now Steve...lets not be hating the ml gear too much =). even though you're right on all accounts regarding HK/Madrigal, the ml amps can sound really good. mine fell right into step and gave me the sound i was looking for. lets just hope i don'... 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
FPlanner: i'm looking forward to your thoughts on the PSA combo. am assuming you'll be getting the pair?. if you are, will you be comparing them using the hdmi link between pwt/pwd?. when i recently experimented with the pair using the various hoo... 
Interface comparo: Perfect Wave Bridge v: Sonos?
i can understand your frustration Tab. i've been looking forward to it's release as well. PSA is having issues with the final details/programming so delaying the product is by far the best option. releasing something they're unsure of and don't ha... 
Up sample or non upsampling which is superior
a digital front end that can do both is the best choice imo. i've found some disc's sound good upsampled while others sound better without upsampling. have also found that certain upsampling rates sound best with certain disc's (196/24 vs 172/24 v...
