Does power conditioning really matter?
I had A few Shunyata hydras, Monster AVS 2000, Ps audio power plant and not one of them did anything positive to the sound. Maybe its ones location but I know I never have to waste money on them anymore 
The best phono stage out there?
The phono stage in the Dartzeel preamp bested everything I've had. At its price it better be great 
phono Cartridge warranties
I sent it back to the retailer who sent it to Axiss presumably. I also thought that the super inflated prices of cartidges would make for an easy swap for the manufacturer. I feel robbed since the cartidge was cared for properly since I bought it. 
darTZeel NHB-18NS
Check with member Jonathan Tinn of Chambers audio. I believe he sells Dartzeel and VAC so he has the knowledge to help. The Dartzeel preamp is the best I have owned and has a killer phono stage 
Which Digital processor/equalizer ?
"Acoustat6".... I use a rive test cd2 and an SPL meter to arrive at this conclusion. After talking to Rives today I realise an equalizer may not help matters. I will still have the suckout in this region no matter how much gain I increase. Rives e... 
Which Digital processor/equalizer ?
I need to correct my last response. My suckout is 8db from 45 -65hz 
Which Digital processor/equalizer ?
The midbass from about 60 -100 hz is the problem. I talked to z- systems and they discontinued the rdp and said they couldn't help my problem at this time. Audyssey told me that my preamp was not applicable for their product. A bit confusing to sa...

Which Digital processor/equalizer ?
Trying to correct my room. The behringer and audyssey are for room equalization. I checked with z systems and they are currently doing new ideas and transformations 
Which Digital processor/equalizer ?
I am looking for flat response without phase shift variations 
which power cable for Emmlabs cdsa se
I have used the Jena ones on this player. I have since changes all my cabling to VD master sreies. Both are excellent choices. It seems to me all VDs have the huge soundstage. Overload?? not sure what that means. 
Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ?
Georgemg. The new emmlabs cdplayer is better than my previous audio aero mk II player. Detail and dynamics are much improved. That said it is still not close to good vinyl playback 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
I received the rest of the full complement of VD master cables and cords. There is the sense of balance and symbiosis in my system that I never heard before. The focus is on the music instead of the components and the weak link. The sound is bette... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
I moved up the Von Schweikert ladder to the VR7 se. All have been exciting to listen to and non fatigueing. You are dealing with a company that stands by their products. Their resale is also very good if you need to upgrade. 
Furutech vs. Wattagate iec's
The reason I brought this up is that I had a power cord sent back to me because the iec was not Wattgate but furutech. The furutech iec is standard on the Harmonix studio master xdc. According to MAYAUDIO the ditributer for harmonix cables there i...
