Optimum speaker support
if you really want to get rid of all the speaker vibration you should try the Townshend podium, they isolate down to three Hertz, this was the biggest upgrades I've ever done to my system, when I put them underneath my speakers the before and afte... 
W4S DAC
I have the W4S 10th anniversary DAC, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said it was every bit as analog sounding, on that review I bought it because it also had a 30-day trial period an... 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
here's a PS, I forgot to mention that rectangular OCC single crystal wire is even better than the round OCC single crystal wire and the only company that makes it is Neotech.  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
The best cables to use is any company that is using OCC single crystal silver or copper far superior to anything OFC at any price, any company that is still using OFC and charging exorbitant amounts for it is totally ripping people off, it has bee...

ghdprentice, have to correct one mistake I made Nordost does not use silver wire they use silver plated copper OFC junk so they're really ripping people off, they don't even use pure silver in their wire lol  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
Jacobsdad2000, I'm not a homer at all I'm just stating a fact, most of these companies use silver plated OFC which is the cheapest junk wire you can get out there, just because it's silver plated so what, just for your information OFC wire has 15...

ghdprentice, well unfortunately you're wrong again the top Nordost stuff is beatable and it's very overpriced as well they use regular silver wire, OCC single crystal silver sounds even better and the rectangular OCC single crystal is even better... 
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
WillyWonka, did you try the Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC? one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC sounded every bit as analog, on that review I decid... 
A-Pod for Magico A5
instead of the a-pods you should try the Townshend podiums they isolate vibration down to three Hertz they're not cheap but they're nowhere near as expensive as the a-pods, When I put these underneath my monitor audio platinum 200 g2's it was as i... 
System advice
for speakers you should definitely look at the monitor audio platinum 300 G2 they're discontinued now because the G3 is now out so you can get a great price for them and the reviews on them have been stellar.  
dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC
you should also try the Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary dac it's about $4,500 US, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC sounded just as analog and it also c... 
CD Transport
The VRDS system that Teac uses is the best CD transport on the market, I have the esoteric P10 transport and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  
Bricasti M1SE DAC vrs Meitner MA3
You should look at the Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC, it beat both of those DACs in testing, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said the 10th anniversary DAC was every bit as analog ...
