Logitech Duet vs. Dedicated Transport
Lush,I run an SB3 to a Benchmark Dac1 with both optical and via silver IC's. I have slso used various transports, some cheap, so not so cheap, feeding the DAC1 and have to agree with all above, it's not worth using a transport and having to change...

Best Power cord for McCormack DNA 225 or 250
I'm running "old" Synergistic Master Coupler PC's on both my DNA-500 and DNA-225 and like them. The 500 has a 20 Amp and the 225 a 15 amp. I can't tell a differenece in them though. Previously was using PS Audio Statement Plus, but these are much ...

Info needed on McCormack ALD-1 preamp please

laptop to my VTL preamp
That's a loaded question. I run a Benchmark Dac into my VTL 5.5 pre and it sounds wonderful, but I'm using Apple Lossless files, which are exact copies. It could be the music files, if they are recorded in MP3 128 or 192 bit, which to me sound les... 
Aragon 4004 mk II / Mccormack DNA 1 amp
I have owned both the 4004 and a DNA-1 Deluxe, which is a little differnet animal than a DNA-1. I had both for about 2 years driving Maggie 3.6R's with a VTL 2.5 preamp. Aragon had more bottom end and was darker to my ears. The Mac is one that you... 
McCormack Audio/Conrad Johnson service is great
I just had a custom black faceplate made for a McCormack DNA-500 of mine. They couldn't have been nicer to deal with. Lew's secretary/admin, Cheryl Wachter(sic), was very nice to deal with in person. The CJ folks are great and we all know Steve Mc... 
Logitech Harmony 890 won't operate VTL 5.5 Preamp
Dgad, I tried learning the codes from the 5.5 remote, but none of them seem to pick up. Do they use RF on the 7.5 now and something other on my VTL 5.5, Series 4, do you know by any chance? This has me frustrated, since I thought learning them wou... 
Anybody prefer JL Audio or Velodyne subs for rock?

Anybody prefer JL Audio or Velodyne subs for rock?
I have both the SVS Ultra 13 in one room running with Maggie 3.6's, and the F113 in another home theater room(much larger space). I'm a rock n' roll guy and have to say that although the SVS is a great piece for the money, the F113 is a different ...
