When to go solid state vs. vacuum?
when you have animals (multipal cats and dogs) and smoke alot...SS seems right for the job (me).other then that...personal preference imho, that can only be sorted out by listening for yourself. 
What speaker cables to buy for my Krell s300i amp?
i had an s300i for about a year when they were released. tried a few speaker cables and came away feeling the acoustic zen santori shotguns/double barrels sounded the best using my aerial 7b's. (didn't try the reg/single line santori's)not sure wh... 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
great thread guys!. something i've often wondered about myself but never asked about. a very interesting read! 
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC
Glad it worked out for you Vhiner. Jeff: didn't mean to imply i've read the article. just snippets here and there. Paul McGowen quoted a few lines as well and said it was a "rave review"....so i'm just assuming it will be. 
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC
never hurts to have ones own opinion somewhat validated by a professional review. seldom happens with me so i'm enjoying it. have been a psa pwt/pwd fan-boy since release mid 2009. the pair sounded great from day one. then came the bridge which wa... 
Best DAC under 2k US ?
wow!...not sure where Mcondon is coming from with his comments. i purchased the PWT/PWD at release back in august of 2009. have the semi-recent MKII upgrade as well."pretty mediocre"??. i've had the pleasure of comparing it to many nice DAC's in t... 
asymmetric apodizing filter
the ps audio pwd and pwd2 have both minimum phase filter and asymmetric apodizing filter along with other combos. i found them very helpful/noticeable with some recordings and not so much with others. am yet to determine any pattern or why. i'm th... 
Focus on 24/192 Misguided?.....
i disagree with the article and the premiss behind it. nonsense sounds about right. i have nothing to offer in dispute of it except three years of listening to hi res (burned dvd's and streaming). the improved sound quality of hi res has been obvi... 
I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC
Jeffatus...i do my best work when "medicated". don't worry man...with some practice, you will too. =) 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
have done a total redo of my system in the past 5 years. upgrading my front end too the PWT/PWD mkII was by far the biggest leap forward. i've never heard digital this good.a close 2nd would be the bridge for my PWD. opening my eye's to computer a... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Hfisher nailed it. optimization is the key....just like anything else audio. computer's bring another element into the equation that requires additional research/effort/work to get right. if you don't care to go there...then don't. why you would t... 
PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
am yet to hear a DAC that beats my PWD MKII any where near its price point. the few much higher priced competitors i've heard don't best it either. when considering all the gear i've ever purchased...the PWT/PWD is the only thing i've never had a ... 
Transport for PS Audio PW DAC
if you want a transport, get the PWT. beg or borrow because as others have mentioned, they are perfect for each other via I2S. also agree with the MK2 comments. it really is a must imho and takes the PWD up a notch.the PWT is way over budget but w... 
Amp recommendations for Aerial 5B's?
i found the 5b's very similar to the 7b's with regards to needing lots of power to sound their best. 3-4 ohm load won't be the easiest to push hard but you'll be rewarded if you do. you'll need an amp with lots of legs to make these puppies shine ... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Steve: i never did get your email. Petty...you can demand what ever you want. best of luck with that. my pc based system sounds outstanding and i enjoy it greatly. love the sound my transport produces as well. thanks for your concern but i'm fine ...
