| Sacd recommendations If you don't have Jorma Kaukonen's "Blue Country Heart," it is a must. SACD sonics are terrific and with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and some Bela Fleck, you can't go wrong. | |
| Speakers that like corners Guru QM-10 speakers are made to be placed against the wall:http://www.sjofnhifi.com/products.htmlI heard them at the show in NYC a few years ago and they were THE talk of the show. Amazing sound!There's some for sale on audiogon, new and used. | |
| Inexpensive USB DAC Dfhaleycko, I agree with you, but I'm having a hard time even convincing this guy he needs a DAC, so I think it's going to have to be the V-DAC. Also, he's going to be sitting at the computer when playing music, so the functionality of the SB is n... | |
| Inexpensive USB DAC Dfhaleycko, I read the review again, didn't see any reference to the MF V-DAC, just the SB and the Ayre QB-9.Besides, my friend has a Mac and the Stereophile review says the ASUS is only PC compatible. | |
| Inexpensive USB DAC I saw that review of the ASUS, but forgot about the reference to the V-DAC. I'll have to check it out. Thanks again. | |
| Inexpensive USB DAC Thanks to both of you. Unless someone else rings in with another opinion, V-DAC it is! | |
| Tube phono question Is it in one channel, or both? If one, possible tube noise. | |
| Hat's off to the room treatment camp. I cover my TV with a black comforter I bought at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for about $35. Makes a noticeable difference. Kills reflections off the screen. (I'm sure you could find an audiophile version for under $500!)As for room treatments, I'm con... | |
| Is it best to isolate?? Very nice, Buconero117. Thanks!I have found great success isolating with Symposium Rollerblocks. The effect is clearly noticeable. The sets come with three blocks and three steel balls, with the option to upgrade to tungsten balls. Some people dou... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 I have owned a 27, which is the same topology as the 23.5, just less wattage and the .5 models were a slight upgrade, and the 334. For my money, there is no doubt the older model is a more musical amp. I loved the 27, kept it for years even after ... | |
| Cleaning AC plugs, receptacles and other contacts Flitz Metal Polish has been recommended for cleaning power cord plugs. Alcohol is good, but use pharmaceutical grade, which is almost 100% pure. | |

| Need cartridge advice for an LP12 I used the Dyna 20X on my Linn/Ekos before upgrading to the XX-2. Obviously, I felt it was a good combination. The Dyna works extremely well with the Linn and offers great price/performance ratio.There are so many choices, it's hard to make the "b... | |
| Searching for passive subwoofer... I have a Snell 18", like Jab mentions. It is a beast, though, so large I'm thinking of posting it for sale. Problem is, it would have to be a pick-up because it's so large and I don't have packing. I don't think it needs as much power as Jab sugge... | |
