Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt didn't Alex say somewhere that he shipped the DSD-S with like 700 hrs already logged on the unit? (Don't really want to go thru all the threads but I do remember something to this effect).

His search will NEVER end! Seems Matt is more interested in equipment than muzic. 
Taralabs cables
I can't but think that people that buy such high priced cables are not audiophiles but simply want to say I own a $500,000 music system! It's sad that those of us mere mortals will never hear such a product. 
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
I'd definetly be keeping the TVC, sounds like the JC is not a good "fit" in your system. Personnally I've heard several Parasound gear and have never been impressed. I tried myself to like their JC-3 phono but for a solid state found it noisy!Keep... 
Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...?
I’ve judged and want to know manufactures antics. 
Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...?
I like to hear things like this. It reflects bad on the manufacturer not the dealer IMHO.Dealers tell all, keep us informed. 
Any listening experience of TTW TTs?
Do a search you will find LOTS of negative comments as well from speed issues to communication issues. 
Hyperion hps-968 vs Verity Audio Parsifal Encore
Parsifals are very nice, a bit to "polite" for me. I'm lusting after some Acoustic Zen Cresendos after hearing them if now I can only afford them! 
Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King?
If all knew the inside industry "stories" of Mr. Valin it would be very clear how he comes to these conclusions. 
What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?
Any PAD cable but as you go up the line the bass gets deeper and more controlled (as does just about everything else). 
AZ Adagio vs Crescendo?
Musicgeorge11 so for $14,000 you are just getting better bass, is that what you are trying to say? Adagios retail at $4200 whereas the Crescendos retail at $18,000. I listen to all types of music and want bass only if it's in the recording, nothin... 
Stand out phono stages
No_regrets there's a guy somewhere on these forums that had some very highly regarded phono units like the ypsilon and zanden and sold them for the NVO, do a search but it was a year or so ago. The importer will tell you of another guy who sells h... 
Stand out phono stages
-No step-up transformers-50/60 MM/MC roughly-Parasound JC3 (really didn't like, noisy yes even though it was SS and very lean sounding..what was I thinking!!!!)-No-EMTYou have 15 more questions to reach your 20! 
Stand out phono stages
I got the NVO PSA-One and couldn't be happier! Jeff Day has said it's the best he has ever heard in his own Blog and in his review of this unit in Positive Feedback. Try and have a listen yourself, there may be some very pricey used phono stages o... 
Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo
Wow another wonderful experience listening to the Crescendos. Steve the owner of Sounds Of Silence also explained what a gentleman Mr. Robert Lee is and how Mr. Lee make a bad situation right. This isn’t the place to go into details but if you cal...
