| Computer, CD transport or Network Player? Any of the three will work. My personal preference by far is a silent Windows based PC. Doesn't look like a PC if you choose the right enclosure. It can be built for about $1,500 including an audiophile sound card, graphics card and very good B... | |
| Can you hear the difference? The reason that you can hear the difference in the quality of the MP3 files is not due to the nature of the compression scheme but because there are 2 basic types of software based algorithms. The worst is the floating point algorithm while the M... | |
| Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System Thank you to all of the above. A home audition is a must as "aolmrd1241" expressed. I am thinking that it boils down to three of the brands that seem to do most things correctly, in no particular order: The B&W DB1, Velodyne & JL Audio. ... | |

| Jeff Rowland to what? You have put together an incredible system that surely must be satisfying and enjoyable. I am certain that you are fully aware that your Monitor Audio PL500 II's are a 4 ohm system. My only suggestion would be to contact the speaker distributor ... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K darkstar1I admit that I goofed when making my remarks. You were using the Sutherland Insight Phono Preamp and I the Ph3D. They have a great deal in common but probably not exactly the same in terms of sonics. My apology. | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K darkstar1I own the Musical Surroundings Nova Phonoema I (1200new/500 used). I also have heard and compared directly with the Sutherland PHD (3k new/used 1500).Honestly the MS stood up pretty well to the more expensive Sutherland. The MS is much mo... | |

My understanding is that used equipment is as is with no return.Most importantly you have ... | |

Try this if you haven't already:Use 1 AC wall outlet receptacle for your entire system with the possible exception of your device with the wall wart ac plug. Just use a competent AC Strip.Next float the ground of your power amp and phono stage (us... | |
