| Bel Canto DACs I've been curious about these but hear very little mention or discussion about them. Is it because they can't play with the big boys and the latest greatest or is there some other reason? | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords It's hard to argue with Phusis, $11,000 could buy a nice pair of speakers, a great DAC, turntable, pre or amp. I would definitely consider any of those before plopping down that sum on a PC. | |

| does import cds sound better I have many, many SHM CDs and have never paid anywhere near $84 for one. Just ordered a Platinum SHM CD (Aja) just to check it out and that was even less than $45. | |

You are free to come to any conclusion you wish but it should be "a posteriori" rather than mere speculation. I will ... | |
| Are the Crimson cables as good as they say These Crimson threads get confusing because several different cables share the name. | |
| does import cds sound better I think the answer is "sometimes". | |
