| Perpetual Tech Dac vs DCS or Wadia Dacs Personally, I think the PTs are over hyped.Off the top of my head I can name at least 10 DACs that I think sound a lot fuller and some even cost less.You 2 other choices are a much wiser investment. | |

| Shall I mod my Sony DVPS7700 or buy a DAC? Though many people have done the mods,with excellent results,beware you will void your warrantee and possibly the resale value on the piece.Personally, I have opted for a better DAC and cables.Though the 9000ES is a nice piece it is not in the sam... | |
| What's the problem with Sony 777ES SACD? You will see that most 777es are being sold for what was originaly paid, or more than what they were bought for.Whether SACD survives or not,you still have superb transport that rivals those costing mnay times more.The 777es was a steal a 1500.00,... | |
| audiophile quality cheater plugs? You should NOT use cheater plugs if your equipment has a three prong plug.Find your soucrce of hum within your cables or cable entering the house. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Service I have had all my emails answered from them as of yesterday. | |
| EAD Powermaster-2000 or Powermaster-1000 The so called "powersteering"is suspect and is more of advertising gimicktry than fact.Still a great amp though. | |
| EAD Powermaster 2000 - good as they say? Yhe EAD is a fine piece.It is ovepriced and I know of many 2 channel amps that outperform it in stereo.The construction is top notch and if it were around 4.5k new it would be much more in line.If you can get it around that price new it is well wo... | |
| Acurus ACT3 vs B K Ref 20 The ACT3 is a better sounding unit and better warranttee service and customer support.BK is notorius for promising things and doing nothing. | |
| Sony 9000ES: DanWright or StanWarren Mod Any mod done on a Sony voids the warrantee period!The PA1 and PA3 have authorized Dan Wright for the mods.Sony and other companies have not.Big difference.I have heard nothing about good things about all the gentlemen mentioned above. | |
| Tube Preamp shoot-out My vote goes to SFI line 3.Great build quality,great sound and and HT pass through.I listened to the BAT 50 SE and still prefered the SFI.Not familiar with the Rogue. | |
| Info. on EAD Classic AV I used to own one.Bottom line; still to this day best pre/rpo made for 2 channel without analog bypass.Though a little difficult to set up,it worked and sounded great in all formats.As the previous post mentioned make sure it does DTS aon all soft... | |

| recommended speakers for SET amp? The DB100 are more around 6k.They do sound very nice. | |
| Preamp(tube) recomendations I have had HT for 3 years and it just has gotten ridiculous with so many friggin formats comming out every year.A great stereo rig will do serious hurt to any HT setup that I have heard.I have heard more than I care to. |
