TRT Inifini Caps
I recently installed the VH OIMP caps in my Audio Logic dac as well as the teflon for bypass-an accross the board improvement and recommended for all who wish to improve the DAC. FWIW, Mr.Ozment speaks highly of the infini cap (although I did not ... 
Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen
I replaced MIT multicaps with the VH paper in oil caps in My DAC. I use the VH teflon bypass cap with the paper in oil. I tried a vintage Sprague paper in oil bypass but it had too much treble energy for my system. The VH caps are expensive (about... 
$1000 used amp. What can I buy?
I have been using a Van Alstine SS amp for years. They are hard to find fault with. Extremely reliable with good quality sound and priced within your budget-especially if used. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
If the cost of the Reality check ($795.00) is to high, what are we audiophiles to make of the Nespa? ($900.00) for a box with a light bulb in it that heats the disc to release trapped gases in the disc which results in sound improvement???? I'm al... 
The song you just cant stop playing???
Pat Metheny's "The way up" all 68 minutes. IMHO-the best piece of Jazz I've heard. 
The best powercable for power amps?
Hey: I'll chime in on the powercord issue. Marigo Ultra 4 cords in "K" or "T" tuning types. Tonally, fundamentally, musically, the best I've heard-and they really piss-me-off cause they should not whomp the Shunyata King Cobras V2's I use (but the...

What about power cords to mate Krell 650MC amps?
I am currently auditioning the new line of Marigo power cords on my power conditioner and SS amp. After 3 weeks I can tell you, these are exceptional in their lowering of the "noise floor", and their hi-current capabilities. (music sounds more rou... 
Mapleshade Silclear
In my system-I found that covering the fuse ends on the power supplies of the equipment made clearly better audible differences-I also found that using it on all connectors was a mistake as it changes the spectral balance of the system making the ... 
BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost?
Shakti-sonic hollgraph's- After 30 years as an enthusiast, these devices are the best upgrade I've ever made. Makes one realize just how critical the room acoustics are-and may stop one from the "endless" componment upgrade path. They are just sta... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Have never heard the Summits-but I do use a complete Dale Pitcher designed system. (amp, linestage, all cabling and his speakers) the Reference Super Gems. I've been a audio hobbyist for 30 years plus and Dale's designs have signified the "end of ... 
H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
Warren: I picked these stands up from a guy in Brooklyn back in '99. As you know, very solid yet adjustable acct. the audiopoints on the top. I assumed they were designed and built by a midwestener, sort of a "silo" thing but I was never sure. As ... 
H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
Lo and Behold. I've had (6) of these triangular shaped speaker stands sittin in (2) boxes for awhile. Their very heavy covered with a black felt-like fabric and have (3) audiopoints on the bottom and (1) on the top and now I know where their from-...

Which Audiologic dac was the first to go 24 bit?
