| Why aren't there more Blu Ray/DVD transports? You don't have to pay twice. There are many low priced BD players that offer HDMI to go to a pre/pro (use the DACs there), while only offering analog stereo outputs (yes, they use DACs for that), and usually a coax or toslink output (for external ... | |
| DAC Advice needed. CIA VDA*2 is a very fine, not too expensive,DAC. Also, you might want to consider waiting a bit to see how the Wyred 4 Sound DAC, using the Sabre32, turns out. | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed If you have any inclination to DIY, Id suggest considering John Kreskovskys NaO Mini. The NaO Mini will give you the air and openness of the stats and maggies, but have dynamics closer to a box speaker. Most of the people that have built the NaO... | |
| Suggestions on a Blu-ray DVD player? What Ghstudio said. For less than $250 one can get an excellent Blu-Ray player. For Blu-Ray discs the video performance is very, very close for all players, regardless of cost. The more expensive players typically have more settings available to t... | |
| B/Ray players, do they all boot up slow? My JVC XV-BP1 loads and plays lickity split. DVD upscaling is excellent. On the AVSForum many refer to it as "the poor man's Oppo". | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord Photon46, yeah I realize that, but he asked for a "great" cable, which can't be had for $50 in my experience. Your recommendations are good. He might also want to consider the small Soundstring cord or a Zu Birth. Generally I tend to prefer solid ... | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord I use Kaplan cables and highly recommend them. | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord I read on another thread that you did not want a bright PC. If you could DIY, buy some decent copper (not silver plated) cordage such as DH Labs, Supra, Neotech, or CryoMax, and terminate it with some solid copper ends. You can pickup some inexpen... | |

| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? I use a Modwright 9.0 SE Signature Truth on my Son of Ampzilla 2000. It sounds very nice. Fairly "tubey" in terms of harmonics and soundstaging, yet still very dynamic and detailed. | |
| Isoclean 106 II Power Bar Since this unit appears to be a basic power strip without capacitive filtering, I'd suspect that the biggest difference you are hearing relates to the type of outlets. The Isoclean uses gold plated outlets. In my experience, gold as a plating on A... | |
| greater resolution as an end in itself ?? In general, I'd tend to agree. However, I recently made some changes to my system that gave me more resolution while also increasing the body of the tone, and a little bit of extra warmth to boot. The result is increased resolution and musicality ... | |
| Upgrade from Kimber D60? You might want to consider a Pure Note Alluvion. It's very transparent and airy, yet not thin or glary. Very good dynamics and bass, too. I rolled a number of digital cables and it's my favorite. They're having a nice sale on them right now. | |
| Kimber Select IC's I'd suggest trying a Discovery Signature. A very underrated cable, IMO. Give Joe DePhillips a call. | |
