Exemplar Denon 3910 and Oppo 93/95
I got turned onto Exemplar (http://www.exemplaraudio.com/) years ago when looking for a preamp and DAC. Nothing I tried even came close to Exemplars detail, imagining, and a beauty that just makes me want to listen and listen and listen.   I beli... 
Ideas for my next DAC....?
I used to have the Schiit Yggdrasil, then got to audition the Exemplar Audio modified OPPO.  The modified OPPO has a tube utilizing 12AU7 tubes, which I love as I can do lots of tube rolling to dial in the sound, and an outboard linear power suppl... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
I absolutely hear a difference upgrading fuses, it makes a HUGE benefit to the sound for relatively little money.  I've loved the Hi Fi Tuning fuses, but haven't tried the Synergistic Fuses yet.  @ fleschler -  Was the 5A circuit breaker you tried... 
Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver
I also am curious to see a picture of what the CD mask (thin card stock to make a mask that covers the disk in a spoke pattern) looks like.  Anyone have a picture?Also would the rubber spray be clear?  Or green? or black? 
Cary/Audio Electronic Supply AE-3 Best UPGRADES?
I had the chance to listen to every preamp in the AES and the Cary line, along with many other brands, side by side and without a question the best was the AES DJH, better even than Cary's top of the line. I highly recommend upgrading to it. Also,...

Best three way cross over?
Thanks for the responses. I have Tyler Acoustic Speakers with (2) 8" Seas Excel Drivers in each of the Bass Cabinets, and a Seas 6.5" Mid and Millenium Tweater in the Monitors. The speakers are fabulous and I love them to death. But at the same ti... 
Favorite sounding interconnects?
47 Labs. This cable is amazing, it blew away everything I compared it to (once broken in) and shattered all my ideas about what cable was suppose to look like too. There has been a long ongoing discussion about it elsewhere on Audiogon Forum. You ... 
Tyler Linbrook Monitor
I have used both his reference monitor and a Reference system (very similar to the Lynbrooks with passive bass modules) all with a a 20 Watt SET amp, and they sound great. I have no problems! I don't think I would want to go much lower than that i... 
The best CD Player for the money
I was very interested in this post as I too was in the market for a new CD player. I have been using a Jolida 601 and oddly enough found it very competitive with everything I tried it against. I tried Pioneers new elite DVD, the whole Rotel Line, ... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Anyone interesed in splitting a set? I would love to try them out after reading this post. 
best all around monitor
I would also have to agree about the Tyler Acoustics, they are absolutely wonderful and beat out almost every floorstander I tried up to and over double its priced. No monitor even came close.
