Morphine..........trippy!!!!TIC 
Transport for Scott Nixon Tubedac+
Bb,Out of curiousity, you might want to try the Cary as a transport. I used my CD-308 breifly as a transport and it bested my other options at that time (Theta Miles, Sony DVD-S7700, Sony DVP-S900ES). However, I was using the Cary to output a 24/9... 
For Cayin TA-30:"The Horn" or Fostex/Voight Pipe?
Shirasagi,I also own Paul's mod'd TA-30 and I think it is a great amp. Although I don't currently own any, I have heard several single-driver speakers and honestly, I couldn't live with them. I've heard the Hornshoppe, C&C Abby, Oris Horn and ... 
best song by Morphine?
Tough to choose just one from the excellent 1993 "Cure for Pain" effort. I would choose either "Buena" or "Cure for Pain" as these were the most popular. However, the whole record is wothwhile. You can sample a few of the tracks on Amazon.com.If I... 
Review: Denon DRA395 Stereo Receiver
Nice review! I wish I could be happy with my system! :)Enjoy,TIC 
I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all
RW,Unfortunately, they were owned too far apart to give an absolute answer and I have different speakers. All I can say is if they were all the same price as a mod'd Cayin from Bizzy Bee, I would choose the Mod'd Cayin for my taste.Of course the o... 
I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all
RW,Do they say "Y'all" in Reno? :~) I thought ya might be from Caintucky or Tennessee...I've owned lots of budget integrated and power amps Including Antique Sound Labs AQ-1003DT, Anthem Integrated One, Anthem Integrated Two, Anthem Amp 1, Bryston... 
I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all
RW,Good call! Paul is the man! BTW, I just got my mod'd unit on Thursday and it is very good after only about 5 hours of burn-in. Can't wait to reach the 30 hour mark as Paul suggested. Man, this thing sounds BIG and WIDE. It fills my room like no... 
suggestions for top quality CDP running direct
Top quality in what price range? Are you interested in an expensive gamble or are you able to audition a lot of different players? These are important questions that will help determine a good recommendation.Not knowing the answer to those questio... 
I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all
Which amp are you buying from Paul, the Cayin TA-30 or a classic re-furb'd tube amp? I purchased both a stock and fully modified Cayin from Paul and they are tremendous values. Plus, you get Paul! Buying a Chinese built amp from someone that doesn... 
First and last Integrated tube amp. not much $$$.
Mmaudio,I received the upgaded Cayin yesterday. It sounds great right out of the box and even smoothed out a bit during the first 3 hour listening session. I'm pretty sure the upgrade is a good value over the stock unit.My listening room is 249 sq... 
CEC CD player
Mango,There is a HUGE difference between CEC's top of the line players mentioned above and CEC's current $500 player that is sold via AudioAdvisor. There are several players in the CEC line, so you might want to ask about a specific model.The top ... 
panasonic sa-xr45 vs marantz sr-5400
Franklin,I have not heard the Marantz's, but I own a Panasonic SA-XR45 and it is VERY GOOD for the price! I picked mine up here used for $275 and it is a great bargain at that price. It is so good that I would bet 95% of the general public would c...

First and last Integrated tube amp. not much $$$.
Mmaudio,I own a stock Cayin TA-30 and I have a fully upgraded unit arriving from Bizzy Bee on Wednesday. The stock unit is a great value and I'm hoping the upgraded unit is the answer to all of my audio dreams! If you want a review of the upgraded...
