| '80s vinyl sound like CDs? Mrvordo, I use Nordost SPM (reference cable from the late 90's) for Speaker cables and Morrow Audio for IC's. I switched to Morrow because they sound as good or better than the Nordost for a fraction of the price. I don't like cables that SOUND li... | |

| Add DAC or mod player? Thats what I do ...I have a McIntosh CD201 for a transport into a Monarcy Audio DIP then to a MSB DAC with the Burr Brown chips, it is a very analogue sound that's warm and easy to listen to for long periods at higher volumes. | |
