| Any opinions on the eAR digital "Ice amp" I'm curious about the eAR 202 & 501... the price is remarkable, but it's not clear from their web site how they are being positioned versus the eAR One or Two. Has anyone heard these new eAR amps or have any further info? | |
| Cable Madness Check out the VH Audio Pulsar ICs. Chris VenHaus has a 60 day eval period on these. I've been extremely pleased with these cables and they're a lot of bang for the buck. You can find much info here and on Audioasylum.com about them. http://www.vha... | |
| upgrade ARC SP-8 I gotta second that recommendation. Steve did wonders with my SP9. I think you'll find that Steve will give you very objective insight on what your preamp is capable of and how that may play into what you want from your system. It would definitely... | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKII to MKIII Upgrade If you're seriously considering moding your SP9, you might want to chat with Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound about it. I had him mod my SP9 MKII to their Reference level which I have been extremely happy with. While not cheap, there are a nu... | |

| Best redbook CD playback system for $30k Just want to reinforce the recommendation of Wadia with Great Northern Sound mods (http://www.greatnorthernsound.com). In fact, call Steve Huntley at GNSC and pose this same question. I've had two components moded by him and he really knows his st... | |

| Power cord suggestions to improve cd playback Check out the VH Audio Flavor 4. Great price, great cable and it has received a lot of positive feedback for how well it mates with CDPs. There are a number of posts here and on AA about this PC. I'm burning one in now. http://www.vhaudio.com | |
| Best Player or DAC: ceiling $3k One thing to consider... pick up a used Wadia - 861 if you can afford it or an 830 or 301. They're all great players. Then consider a reference mod from Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound. He does incredible work, is great to work with, and his... | |
| VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects For what it's worth, I've had two pair of the Pulsars (RCAs) for a little over two months and struggled a bit early on with the top end as well. I don't have a cable burner so I just left the ICs on the system using tuner or XLO burn-in disk (putt... |
