Slow speaker cables?
I believe the confusion stems from taking "fast" as related to the speed the signal travels from one end of the cable to the other. That's not it.I believe "fast" here refers to the raise speed, pretty much like the slew rate, the ability of the c... 
My PS Audio Duet Power Center Stopped working
Definitely call PS Audio. Had similar issue and they sent me a replacement cartridge. Was never asked about the date of purchase or anything, the unit was purchased used from Audiogon. All they asked was the address to send the replacement cartrid... 
Oppo customer service
You're by far NOT the exception. Oppo, as a company, is absolutely wonderful and their products outstanding.I am also a big fan.

wyred4sound dac hookup to receiver
I might be wrong, but by looking at the AVR5700 manual online I saw only pre-out, no power-in connectors (as expected, I might add). Usually receivers allow you to use them as pre-processors, but not as power amps.Thus it looks that you won't be a... 
Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better??
I am one who replaced a MF A3CR for a W4S ST-500 and am very happy with the result.Not a bad word to say about the MF, a very nice piece of gear, but W4S is, in my experience, in a different (superior) class altogether.Most notably is that when I ... 
Wyred dac2 to replace krell hts preamp?
Chenglo1,I have mine fed async USB from a Dell laptop via kernel streaming. It goes directly via Audioquest Columbia XLR into W4S ST-500 power amp, powering Sonus Faber Concerto Domus speakers.Short signal path, volume controlled in the DAC, beaut... 
Automatic Turntables
Very reliable. Currently own two, one as a back up.For some reason this sounds contradictory to me. ;-) 
Wyred dac2 to replace krell hts preamp?
For starters, W4S will bring async USB to the table, and that's the best way to connect to a computer. Others might have a different opinion, but I, one, I'm sold to it.W4S DAC-2 is a superb DAC which I thoroughly enjoy and feel no "upgrade bug" a... 
DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog
I'm having a hard time agreeing with "32bit offers only 16dB of attenuation before eating into the 16bit resolution of Redbook".As far as I know, every bit accounts for 6dB, thus 16x6 would mean that a DAC chip working internally on 32 bit will of... 
Help selecting used 7.1 Pre/Pro
All I can say is that Outlaw 990 is a solid performer that can be had for less than $400 today and is worth every penny, provided you have the space for it, for it's a huge unit.I have one (which I use for my HT system only) and have zero complain... 
Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread
Got a similar offer on Audiogon. Once I asked for clarification, for the entire process looked convoluted and suspicious to me, never heard back from the "buyer". I eventually got a legit offer from another buyer, for less than my asking price, bu... 
Speaker grill material, any real difference?
Don't audiophiles take the grilles off during listening sessions? 
USB to External Hardrive does USB cable matter?
I second Kijanki 100%. 
CD direct to monobloks?
As far as I know:First of all, a CDP with variable output doesn't necessarily mean that the volume control is implemented in the digital domain.Second of all, volume control implemented in the digital domain in a unit working internally on 24 or 3...
