Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6
Guido,As always it's good hearing from you and I hope all is well.I still haven’t tried the PSU. I’ve heard mixed views about it and there are many different ways to upgrade my system for $8K. I can’t justify spending money without hearing it first. 
Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6
Syntax, When we post stuff that doesn’t add to the conversation, what are we posting for? Based on actually listening and directly comparing current JR components to current components from other manufacturers in my system I completely disagree wi... 
Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6
Almost five years later I answer my own question. I finally decided to try the Ref. 6 in my system. This isn't a knock on the Ref 6, but once again reminds me that synergy/compatibility is more important than individual components. In the context ... 
Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now.
big_greg,"When listening in two channel, the home theater processor is not used at all. When watching movies, engage the HTBP and your front two channels are powered by whatever you're using for two channel amplification, and your home theater pr... 
Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same?
Just my opinion , but I don't think it all sounds the same. What I consider to be traditional Jazz sounds nothing like what I consider to be modern Jazz. Neither sound like fusion. Your definition of modern, traditional, or fusion will probably ...

Eliminating Ground Loop Problem
Everything is plugged into a Torus RM20. I don't use a laptop. My 2-channel is quiet as a mouse. The noise only occurs when I'm using HT. 
Eliminating Ground Loop Problem
When I'm listening to music through 2-channel there's absolutely zero noise. When I watch a movie I turn my Marantz 7702 mkII, OPPO 203, and ATI  AT523NC 3-channel on to drive my center and rear speakers. The noise comes through my center channel... 
Eliminating Ground Loop Problem
oldhvymec,Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit my cables are all over the place. It's a complete mess behind my equipment rack. I will try to organize the wires the way you recommend. My question is why when listening to 2-channel is everything dead silent?

Antipodes S60 LPS
fsmithjack,I actually ordered the Uptone Audio JS-2 and canceled my order. So much of this hobby is psychological to me, so I order the S60 to prevent from wondering if the JS-2 was the correct choice. Honesty, I can't tell you what adding the S60... 
Antipodes S60 LPS
I ended up getting the S60 and K10(ripper). My current digital set-up is the Antipodes S40, S30, S60, and K10. Per my conversation with Mark(Antipodes) it will take a week or so to totally break-in?

mitch2,I just sold my Antipodes DS GT. Now I have the S40 and I decided to order the S60 last night. In addition, I will order the S30 to use as a dedicated player and use the S40 as the server. Both will be powered by the S60.
