| rca plugs - comparisons? Bocchino Audio - very expensive but screw connections allow a wide variety of wire to be tested and from my limited tests ( xhadow, next gen ) I thought they performed very wellCheers | |
| looking for a DAC that will add some bottom end Mitcho - I suggest you try some ball bearing type footers and danmping ( sand in bags - or some kind of weight over cloth ) on top of your current DAC first - worth a tryCheers | |
| Audiodesk disc cleaner - anyone used it? Krell Man That is intersting as quite a few people have stated that belief but in its recomended method of use it still leaves the outer circumference as it was and the manufacturer does not make that claim. I have got excellent benifits with one ... | |
| Super Dac under $20K? Dodson Palladium is worth a listen. I have not compared it directly to other high end DAC's in my system but the level of resolution I am getting compares well with what I have heard from weiss, zanden etc. in showrooms.Cheers, | |
| XLR Connector Comparison Johngp - just out of interest have you ever played with the Bocchino XLR or RCA ( new B11) - when you compare them to something like a furutech side by side you can see the reason for the cost. It is an intersting area where the argument for a ver... | |

| Shipping cd player out of country Hi Valinar,I have purchased hifi stuff from all over and it comes into Australia with no problems. As I recall a declared value of over $1000.00 AU ( including shipping) attracts a 10% consumption tax and also goes through customs which may have a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century MarkxiiiThe spindle does not go through to the back so the only way would to be run a gear drive on an extended shaft between knob and pot( I think I have seen a picture of that somewhere) and there is not enough room in the chassis for that. I lo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,jmr and other "mad upgraders" - I have followed your lead and replaced the volume pot with the Alps RK50 ( on cortese) - definite improvement - fuller sound, sharper edges, lower noise floor - much more "live" sound - not sure if it is bet... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I would like to second Fiddler - in my cortese the V caps gave bass extension, detail and cleaned up the "fuzz" - I don't see why detail and musicality are mutualy exclusive -often when resolution is improved it exposes other challenges in the sys... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone out there contemplated changing the volume pot on the cortese to the alps RK50 ( as used on Kondo) - it may be possible to adapt and keep the remote control inside the unit unlike the DACT |
