What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in?
@skyscraper...…………………….I too have the first Mobile Fidelity pressing of DSOTM and the bass is excellent, but the treble is subdued a bit and that sparkle that is in the album is gone. I never cared for the MOFI version of this record and find the ... 
Music Direct - Audio Hardware Seller?
I spent thousands over the years with Music Direct.  First, on equipment and the last 5 years on records and never a problem.  If they don't have an item in stock, they won't charge your CC until it actually ships.  They are one of the best out th... 
Opinion on CD Transports
Back when I was using my Parasound Halo Integrated amp, I was also using a Cambridge Audio CXC.  My first one skipped so Spearit Audio sent me another one which worked flawlessly.   It is a good sounding transport.  I got mine from Spearit for $39...

Due to the incessant spam ads on this forum I'll stop contributing
My wife and I visited the Spam Museum in Minnesota while we were on our way to Rapid City, SD.  It was an eye opening experience.  I remember being served fried spam in the elementary school cafeteria back in the 50's.  Didn't like it then and wou... 
What is the protocol here?
@riley804,I assume you knew beforehand that it would be 4 weeks. Had I known that up front, I wouldn’t be annoyed. I paid in full for my GE Triton Ref speakers back in January 2017 and was told a 3 month wait. Well, I waited 6 1/2 months and was n...

Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready...
The guy on Audio Asylum is worried that the company who is processing his cc is different than the one stated on their web site.  He is trying to cancel the order.  Personally, I would purchase via PayPal as they accept that.  It may be that their... 
Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready...
Just for giggles, I am tempted to try out the big Fake Clearaudio TT for 78.00. Supposedly, it weighs almost 80 pounds, with free shipping to boot. I don’t see anywhere where any of these TT come with a tonearm. I wonder if I could send cash so th... 
Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier
I had a Rogue RP5 for 2 years and liked it very much.  It was dead quiet.  I wasn’t thrilled with the stock JJ tubes and once I rolled in 4 NOS Mullard tubes which I bought from uncle Kevvy, the sound was just fantastic.  It is a very well made pr... 
Mcintosh C2500 DAC section
The C2500 uses the BB PCM 1796 dac chip.  I received this information directly from McIntosh.  I use both the built in dac on my C2500 and the one in my Esoteric UX-3 SACD which uses the PCM1702 dac chip.  I much prefer the T to R Ladder DAC of th...
