Morrow MA4 Vs JPS SC3?
I have two pair of the MA2's and I love them. Currently on a CDP and a phono preamp. I tried the MA3's and MA4's, but had less success. Poor match with my system I guess, but very different sounding from the MA2's.I also have a pair of JPS SC3's. ... 
Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio
I don't know about the V-dac "not living up to its hype". I find it to be altogether excellent. Source is a Gen 1 Apple TV. I really really like it. 
The OFFICAL Apple TV thread
I use a 160 gb ATV connected to a V-dac with a 2m Wireworld Supernova 6. 25' HDMI cable connects to my PC screen in the same room. Just using the small apple remote. It sounds good and is super-convinient. A little more refined and resolving than ... 
Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade
In my experience the most important have been the interconnect from the source, speaker cable, and the power cord to the source. 
Speaker cable made in USA?

Apple TV vs Wadia 170i?
I love my 160 gb Apple TV! Hooked up through a V-dac. It has my full CD collection and vacation pictures on it. Having a great time shuffling tunes and watching slideshows. Sounds great too. 
Power strip recommendation.
I'm happy with my Furutech TP80e. Mine is a 15 amp version. 
Did anyone use a Bang & Olufsen turntable w/ Mac?
A B&O 8002 with MMC2 is what I used to run. A full B&O system actually. Sounded great! 
New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it?
I love my 160 gb ATV. One thing that I have done is to run a long HDMI cable to a new hp computer monitor. The monitor doubles for the ATV and my PC. With the monitor's controls I just switch the source back and forth depending on which I'm using,... 
B&K Vs. Nuforce, Monarchy, Pass labs X-150
I have the Monarchy 70 Pros, powered by a tube preamp. They sounds warm and glorious once warmed up and playing. The highs are extended and transparent, but with plenty of tone and color. They have a good level of detail, only lacking a little bit... 
Mapleshade boards under speakers
My floorstanders on maple platforms thinned out a bit too much for my tastes. I use bamboo cutting boards and am more satisfied with the midrange. 
Question about Morrow ICs?
As my MA2's have accumulated more hours, the bass has filled in somewhat. I think they are great. I just revel in what they do so well, without paining over what they won't. 
Cary AE-3 Mk II
I haven't heard the DJH, but I have the MKII and I like it very much. Stock tubes and all. I find it to be transparent enough to satisfy, and the bass to be good feeding a SS Monarchy amp with quick cables.I get great musical enjoyment from it and... 
Clearview Golden Helix and Double Helix cables
I've had the Golden Helix for several years now and they are great. Took awhile to settle in, and are unhappy and zippy for awhile when coiled and uncoiled. Left alone, however, they are punchyer, faster, tonally satisfying, and more transparent t...
