Is It Safe To Connect Speakers To Two Amps??
if both amps had automatic speaker disconnect relays in them, and you were extremely careful, presumably a setup like this could work. but it's an accident waiting to happen. As mentioned.. when accidentally both amps are powered on at once.If you... 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
I'd heard of someone using cryogenic treated silver romex.While costly, It worked quite well for the stereo performance, but all food cooked in the home took on a very slight taste described as burnt wax. Apparently this diminishes once the silver... 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
...I just changed the house electrical service panel from Bryant to SquareD, wow what an improvement.much tighter bass, wider deeper sound stage, and that last bit of glare is now gone. I'm now in the process of upgrading the house wiring. Anyone ... 
How Much DC is OK on a Power Line?
I struggled with this issue for quite some time a couple years back. IMO Gbart has summed the situation up nicely.'being an electronics hacker, I constructed a DC offset blocker for AC line, and all was fine. I have noticed for instance that in th... 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
Ah how things change.I bought what had to be one of the first NYAL Moscode 300 amps many years ago. At the time I was almost laughed at for owning such a contraption. I drove Apogee Duetta Signatures with it, which again was asking for trouble fro...

Is the color in the amp , the preamp, the souce?
Baxter-178I agree with your basic premise. I've always attempted that the Power Amp should primarily be matched to the requirements of the speaker, and, it should be as close to a "neutral" sound as possible. of course "Neutral" is in the ear of t...

YES! I've got a handful of standard CDs (some purchased many years ago) that are as good and some cases sound better than recordings I have on 96/24.I have to laugh sometimes, the first Audio CD I ever purchased, 'had to be early 80's (Nightlfy, D...

I did a quick listen to 192 then switched down to 96. Really can't say I detected any difference, but I did not really listen enough to make that determination conclusively.I was assuming as you state, all being equal in the upsampling technique, ... 
Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp?
I don't claim to be any kind of expert at reviewing audio gear. About all I can state for sure is that I know what I like and don't like in audio.I've owned nothing but ribbon/planar speakers now for 20 years, which have always been driven by soli...

Bill,Clearly you have done quite a bit of experimenting with USB and the higher bit/sampling rate options on DACS.I received my DAC 2 yesterday, and have been doing a bit of experimenting. (options options..)My library consists entirely of ripped ... 
Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp?
Mine just arrived yesterday. (ET3-SE)I've always been a big fan of CJ or equiv. tubed front end to big solid-state amp. Still only a few hours on it so I'll reserve final judgment for when it has a bit more miles on it.

Pkubica, I took a chance an ordered one (DAC2) a few weeks back, and as previously mentioned it shipped Friday.I as you had high hopes, unfortunately, now I'm a bit worried, especially considering the W4S restocking fee policy.

I just noticed the note on the W4S web site about this.My DAC 2 was shipped from W4S on Friday, hopefully it has the fix.
