DAC for iPod/iPhone
Thanks Peter and DH. I already have a JDS portable headphone amp which I think is an excellent piece, so I respect the company.Neal 
Best Placement - CT-1E
Elizabeth,From my standpoint, it is ALWAYS worth the hassle experimenting with cable placement and with new cables. And I will do so here -- though I have to grit my teeth before crawling behind the big rig.Neal 
AudioQuest SKY revisit
The Sky is a very well-rounded, balanced cable, fuller in sound than Nordost Valhallas but with a smaller soundstage and not as much detail. They are very musical and non-fatiguing. For the $$ they are a great value. I use a pair in my BR system a... 
A New Superstar Power Cord
At least one set of reviewers heard the same dramatic improvements that I did with the LL Ref PC's. From the 6Moons review in the current (no pun intended) edition:"In conclusion we have to say that the LessLoss DFPC Reference is completely true t... 
DAC for iPod/iPhone
Interesting device, but with a separate power supply it is not very portable, alas.Neal 
Best Placement - CT-1E
Thanks, guys. Tom6897, sound advice (pun intended). I will wait 2 weeks.Krell Man, there are so many other things eating at me, the cables will have to wait in line. Got kids? Then you know what I mean. Cheers.Neal 
Best Rock Album of 2014
Woods, With Light and LovePop-rock equivalent of Rubber Soul in quality and originality of songs and performance. Can't get it out of my head!Also, The War on Drugs newest, Lost in the Dream. Neo-psychedelic rock at its finest. Moving rapidly up t... 
Lessloss Reference review?
The 6Moons review wording may have something to do with the fact the reviewers are Dutch and are techies more than audiophiles (they run IT Depts). There are glowing reviews of this PC in more conventional audio publications like Stereo Times, etc... 
Lessloss Reference review?
As I described in previous posts (See, A New Superstar), I find these cords to be nearly transformative. I have tried many cords but somehow I find the LessLoss hits my sweet spot. Starngely, though Louis Motek, the designer, says they need hundre... 
Best Power Conditioner?
How could you not list Audience Adept Response PC's at or near the top, especially the models with the Teflon components. I have had and /or heard Shunyata, Synergistic and a few others, and IMHO there is simply no comparison.Neal 
A DAC That Converts PCM To DSD 128
And the audible benefit of this conversion is, or purports to be . . . .?Neal 
Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most?
My 10 year old Von Schweikert VR5 HSE speakers. I simply cannot find any flaws in them no matter how many components or cables I change.They give daily satisfaction.Neal 
Waiting for PONO
Sound quality aside, if the cost is as high as hi-res downloads are now, I will pass on existing music. Depending on the delta on cost and sound quality from CD's, I would consider it for new music. 
Solution for Scroll Bar is missing from iTunes 11
Try minimizing or reducing screen size.Neal 
PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines
Rfprice,No, I have not moved on from PWD MkII to the new DSD model. I rarely buy components when they first come out. I like to read the reviews and user comments, and let the manufacturer work out the kinks first.Interested to hear if it is a rea...
