Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic
Bombaywalla, first of all please refrain from outright accusations unless you know where someone is coming from.Coming over to the specs, I would either believe all his specs or none of his specs. I cannot imagine why he will specifically bloat th... 
Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic
Bombaywalla, here are the specs from the manufacturer's site that I have just quoted in my post:http://www.symphonic-line.com/product_poweramplifier_rg1_rg4_rg7_details.htmlApart from this I have personally spoken to RG and he confirmed the same. ... 
Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini
dCS Puccini is more analytical. 
Will a good power cable replace the need for a PC?
In general, there are two camps, one that believes in using a power conditioner and other that doesnt. The second category will always go with the best power cord and no power conditioning while the first will tell you to first get a good power co... 
What CDP gets really close to vinyl?
You should try and listen to "The last record player" by Einstein Audio, amazingly analog sound. 
Power Cord with great tone
Hello Mapman and others, I suppose it is a common sense that tone is a function of the device being powered and not the power cord itself. It is just audiophile language that we keep using (abusing?) to describe things. Having said all that there ... 
FIM/Neotech vs. Furutech FI-25 G
Thanks for the pointer Joao. Yes, Furutech Gold can sound slow. 
power conditioner for cd transport and dac?
The most cost effective power related tweak I got was with a Monarchy Audio Regenerator. For about $700 it costs just as much as a decent power cord but the effect it has on the sound quality is just tremendous, Dynamics and realism take on a new ... 
FIM/Neotech vs. Furutech FI-25 G
I only have experience with Furutech FI-25G vs Oyaide P004/P046 vs Wattgate 320..no experience with Neotech. The furutech sounds relatively laid-back, a bit slow, mushy (tubey) compared to others. It is a kind of coloration, if your system needs t... 
JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso
Shakeydeal, I cannot overrule what you say, but I am yet to be convinced with the tone and body these stone-enclosure speakers produce. In my experience tone is something that doesnt require setting up to be judged. 
JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso
GMA, as someone else has pointed out sounds extremely articulate, dead center pin-point images with clear cut boundaries...this is exactly why they sound artificial and cooked to me. Never can a human voice or a guitar placed 8-9 feet away from yo... 
Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC?
Isnt Analog Device AD1865 also a multibit DAC ?Alex, when I say I like the Burr Brown sound, I did not mean I liked only the 1704/1702 multibit DACs, I also like the 173X and 179X based DACs and CDPs. Typically Burr Brown has a tonality and that i... 
Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC?
The CDPs that I have heard with BB chips are Bluenote Stibbert, Ayon CD2s, Audio Space (forgot the model number), Assemblage (Sonic Frontier), AMR CD77 (TD1541A) and a few more which I will have to recollect.The typical delta sigma based CDPs I ha... 
Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC?
Jax2, could you please mention which are the two DACs you use with 1704 chips ? 
Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC?
Exactly Muralman1, what DAC chips are you referring to when you say they can do everything ?Coming to your assessment that I like BB because they use oversampling and filtering...well I have only heard one NOS DAC based CDP/DAC in my life and it w...
