Sadly missed manufacturers
Virtual Mode, Snell, California Audio Labs...Though it is interesting how one company will fall off the tree and new companies come along and blossom in the same field. :) Just a thought.

Best speaker firing across short dimension of room

Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
I have been through the speaker wire journey and settled on DNM Stereo Precision speaker cables. DNM has used solid core copper in their designs since the beginning about 25+ years. If your amp uses feedback look into the HFTN add on and I'm prett...

good transport for AMR DP-777 Dac
I'm not sure how this would compare to the CD-77 since I've never heard it, but I use a 47 Labs Flatfish (coaxial only) Transport and like how it sounds. It is modded with a super clock and BG caps in the internal power supply. I use a custom batt... 
Two Subs?
Rockyboy,I read through the thread and I can't comment on the clipping issue the one guy is having. The only clipping issue I had was from my former dac that had a 5v output and clipped the analog input. There is a sensitivity filter that can be p...
