| Nordost PC - Shiva, Vishnu, or Baldur? I do not think Nordost PC's "suck", as you so poetically put it. I use the Valhalla in my main system and it is excellent. I use a Brahma in my BR system and it is very good. I also have the LessLoss and it is also very good, probably better for a... | |
| Transports and Dac's mix and match Brands I use a CEC TL-1x with Dodson 218 DAC, and previously used the same transport with the DAC you have. No problem mixing and matching, and the CEC is a honey of a transport.Neal | |
| has anyone else heard the wyetech ruby mono block Have never heard any of the Wyetech amps, but can tell you that after more than 5 years of ownership, the Opal pre is one of the most amazing, satisfying components I have owned in more than 35 years of this mania. It is the one component in my sy... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? I have been using Belles 150A Hot Rod for years in my BR system. It is a wonderful amp, excellent bass and soundstaging, with slight tilt to warm side, which you might need with the Ushers, which I have read can be a bit forward.Have never heard a... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? I heard them for the first time at the Stereophile show a few years ago in NY and thought they were just plain lean, full stop. Used with LAMM Electronics. I was very disappointed, given the reviews and Wilson's reputation.Neal | |

| Simple iTunes Question Thanks to all. I used Almarg's instructions and they worked, but I am now wondering if I am missing something. I am not sure I understand the difference between the iTunes music folder, which is what I copied to external HD, and the iTunes Library... | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound Thanks, Mechan. I don't really agree that the Krell is overwhelming my system, or that it is giving all the bass my speakers can handle. Prior to the Wyetech Opal, I had a Hovland HP 100 pre, which was very nice, but the Opal is a big step up and ... | |
| Krell 300c, 300cx or 250m??? I have had the 300cx for about 6 years and think it is terrific.Neal | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound Thanks for all the comments. I am not sure I am any more illuminated than when I began, given the diverse views, but I suspect the observation that the pre may not be sensitive to tube-rolling may be the most accurate -- at least with the KenRads.... | |
| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? I use the regular LessLoss plugged into an original Hydra and it sounds grand. Superior to many of the "big name" PC's I have used. Have not tried it straight to the wall outlet, though. Probably should.Neal | |
| Simple iTunes Question I am using a PC with Windows XP. I will try suggested procedure and report if I have any problems. Thanks for your help.Neal | |
| Anti-Cables Vrs Alpha Core AG-1 speaker cable Agree with Larryken; the IC's with Eichman's are shockingly good for the price, or by any objective measure.Neal | |
| Transport Recommendations for Audio Note DAC CEC TL-1X, if you can find one used. Very musical, beautiful construction, even better if you splurge for Reference Audio Mods.Neal |
