a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble
plug a capacitor array into the same duplex that the amp is in. that will do the same thing, while giving you the option of removing it if you change your mind. 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
i just checked, and by golly you're right, there is a discrepancy b/w the two. strange oversight.fwiw, you could always use an adapter, as i had when i used a herron pre w/ the 1060, but unit does prefer balanced preamps, which CJ is not. if you l... 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
my 1060 has no rca inputs. not sure what you're looking at.very good amp. does very very little wrong. but i would approach system building as what amp matches my speakers best, and then consider preamps. work backwards---speakers for the room, am... 
Dedicating circuits and fancy power outlets
i originally ran 12/3 dedicated romex to my rig. it was a major improvement. total length to breaker < 10ft.then, fancier outlets (first Oyaide R1s, then Maestros). another good (less dramatic) improvement.adding Oyaide WPZ plate, another incre... 
Boulder 1060 amp and upmarket p.cords and filters?
i'm getting a right angle adapter and having TG Audio build me a cord for my 1060, will keep you posted. but y, the 32a connector does make for a lack of substitutes.(granted, i've had my unit on for only 18hrs, plugged into passive conditioner by... 
Lamm ML2.1 with Wilson Watt/Puppy?
i owned the wavac 572 (50w SET) w/ WP6s, and while it was magical (!!) in the mids, the bass was bloated and round. using speaker cables that provided for impedance matching (ie: transparent & MIT) helped a lot, but went SS...got the bass and ...

Hansen Prince: Dartzeel, Soulution or Boulder
khrysjust bought a 1060 myself (coming in 3 weeks). while i'm all wiped out on the audio budget, preamp change will be in order. can you comment on what you liked (or didn't) w/ the 1060? (perhaps take back to your system thread, very curious your... 
speaker cables for Wilson Sophia
best i heard of following (transparent ref mm, isoclean, ks emotion, jorma prime, audioquest redwood), is the aq.best i heard w older wilsons (as a fmrm wp6 owner) was ks emotion. wonderful synergy. oddly upgrading cables to the aq caused me to se...

Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000
so has anyone put an upgraded fuse in the PS of the MW 5400?i will say putting the transport on a separate dedicated line was a big winner for me...(i have 4 dedicated lines). unit loves to be isolated. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
i'll mention i just did something made a large difference in resolution: i put the sony chassis power cord on a transformer-based conditioner, and the analog power supply on a passive (ala straight to the wall). this makes sense as the draw of the... 
Street musicians
