Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
All the Marantz needs is an external NAS connected to a router which also connects to the Marantz. All ethernet connections. Use an Ipad with PlugPlayer app for Ipad, rip your music to the network connected Nas using a computer connected to the et...

Jafant,I am new to the DFW area and recently discovered John through Steve McCormack. I would have liked to purchase Steve's VRE-1c preamp, but could not afford it. I have not yet bought anything from John, but have been in his store for a listen....

Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I would buy it if I did not already have a PP2000 model. If the PP2000+ makes as much improvement to your system as the 2000 did in mine, I would look into the analog system grounding. I would not want to be without my PurePower. 
Music Server/DAC in Same Box
Dennis,I have the Boulder 1021. All it needs is a NAS drive (about $100), a wireless router, and an IPAD, Iphone, etc running the PlugPlayer app. The NAS, router, and 1021 are connected by ethernet cables which is a much better method than usb. I ... 
Music Server/DAC in Same Box
The Boulder 1021. All you need is a NAS, router, and IPAD. It is a very advanced ethernet system with up to 32 bit sampling. Sounds absolutely fantastic. Very expensive though. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
You might try one of the cheater plugs with the ground wire and attach the ground wire to the PP chassis screws. The PP is such a great piece, it would be a shame to not be able to get around this. Hope this helps. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I have used a PP 2000 for 3-4 years. It is a vital part of my audio system. My system is just not as good without it. It is much better than the Hydra. I use a Verastarr Grand Illusion HC which was superior to a Shunyata Python CX. Anyone compared... 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
Melbguy1,Let me preface my comments about the Boulder 1021 by stating that my previous player was an Ayon CD-2. I also tried it direct into the amp, but it was not even close to the sound with the 1010 in the system. It has been a while, but as I ... 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
That is an interesting question which I posed to one of the largest dealers in the US. They not only carry Boulder, but a huge array of of extreme high end tube and SS equipment. Their feeling is that the 1010 is one of the very best in the world ... 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
Melbguy1,You have absolutely nailed it in your review and followup comments on the Boulder 1060. I will add that I use the 1010 preamp with it. It is a superb, quiet, detailed,highly musical, but nonfatiguing sound. I owned the Ayre MXR and KXR co... 
Question for Pure Power 1050 users
I have a PurePower 2000. The power cord before and after it makes a very significant difference. For instance, I replaced a Shunyata Python with a Verastarr Grand Illusion V2 connecting my cd player to the PP 2000. The GI cord allowed a deeper sou... 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Tbg,I live in a very dry environment with very high levels of static electricity. Perhaps getting the SC's off the carpet makes the difference. I do not know if those who thought the DFE's hurt the sound had them under more than the SC's. Any of t... 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Because of this thread, I decided to try my system without the Shunyata Dark Field Elevators which are only under my speaker cables. If my findings are the same as Dave b and some others, I could sell them and recover some money. I had a dealer he...
