Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
The Tesla SR cables are an excellent choice for Wilson speakers. I love them with my WP8s. 
Levinson 33H buzzing on standby
Missioncoonery,Were your 33H amps made at the old or new factory. Just curious. It's too bad that the present Levinson doesn't stand behind the equipment like the former group did. 
Best power cord for Subwoofer?
I just connected a Synergistic T3 to my Wilson Sub. The combination is excellent. Similar findings as Joeyboynj had. I also now have a complete Synergitic Tesla cables system. 
Ridge Street, Locus Design Axis & Synergistic USB
I have both the Synerergistic and Ridge Street USB cables now. I have not provided the full recommended break-in for the Ridge Street yet. I will present an opinion once this is done. I have a feeling the choice of best USB cable is like other cab... 
Ripping CDs to lossless in Itunes.. HiFi approved?
It's hard to say just how fast the computer needs to be to hear no difference in Apple Lossless VS AIFF. My 2.8 GHz iMac sounds the same with a Wavelength USB Crimson DAC. My MacBook Pro 2.1 GHz sounds inferior on Apple Lossless.I now run all my m...

Ed,It's the choices that make this fun!EnjoySteve 
Ripping CDs to lossless in Itunes.. HiFi approved?
Ed,The slower the CPU, the worse Apple Lossless will sound. Faster CPU, no difference between AIFF and Apple Lossless.You don't have to rip your CDs again. iTunes can convert you Apple Lossless to AIFF. You can then delete your Apple Lossless file...

Ed,Gordon Rankin has found that the CPU speed affects the playback of Apple Lossless even though the CPU shows minimal use during play. My iMac 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo sounds the same with AIFF and Apple Lossless. My Mac Book Pro 2.01 GHz Core 2 Duo sou...

Ehider,Did you use the iRoc for your tests?Thanks 
USB Cord Recommendation
Istanbulu,What DAC are you using? I have the Synergistic USB cable, but am considering trying the Poiema. Thanks,Steve 
Apple vs PC for Music System
The operating system, USB drivers, and the way iTunes deals with Core Audio makes the difference. Vista is not bad; in fact it is quite good. I just prefer Apple OSX. Either you can hear it or it doesn't matter. You just have to try it. 
Apple vs PC for Music System
I am primarily a PC guy. I really enjoy building my own. I purchased my 1st Wavelength Audio DAC over two years ago. I stubbornly held out using a Mac as per Gordon's recommendation.Today I own 2 Macs and many PCs. The Mac just sounds better for m...
