Rogue Audio Cronus Question
My recently sold Sony tuner did not do this through my Modulus 3B and Odyssey amp but both of my Magnum Dynalab tuners FT101A and MD90 do cause creep through. I believe it's because the Tuners output voltage is very high. I have been turning off t... 
Problem with toggle switch on Magnum Dynalab tuner
I would order a switch from the manufacturer and install it myself. The toggle switch unscrews from the front face and there are probably only 2 wires to solder on the switch. 
Best Christmas music, CD or album on your list ?
Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas music and of course, Bing Crosby's as well. To be honest, I am not a big fan of Christmas music. I play it mostly for my wife around the Holidays and when we are both trimming the tree. 
What is the missing element?
I have the V-link192 going into my Wyred Dac. It sounds wonderful. I also use J Rivers 16 and use a dedicated laptop for music only. All the music files are on a 2TB usb3 hard drive. Which lossless codec do you use? I use flac. J Rivers outputs to... 
Used turntable market
In 2009, I bought a used VPI Scout turntable. Since the seller was only 200 miles away on Staten Island, I opted to drive down there on a Saturday to pick it up. I brought my wife along and we had a nice ride and I took her to lunch at a Texas Roa...

Upgrading Odyssey audio Khartago
I have a Stratos extreme+++ driving a pair of Kismet Reference speakers. The Kismets are very much like the Lorelei speakers, but with a much improved and more expensive crossover. The sound is to die for. I have zero desire to change. It blows aw... 
Sweet spot in the Shunyata power cords line up ?
I don't know what "Gbmcleod" is thinking, but I hear great differences with the lower priced Shunyata cords. I use 3 Copperhead cords (400.00 each) and 5 Diamondback platinum (300.00) cords in my system in conjunction with a Shunyata Hydra 2 and a... 
Transport to Audio Research Dac8
How will a transport help play music on your computer? That is what the dac8 is for. If ARC makes a transport, that is what I would be looking at. If they don't, I would go with an Esoteric. 
Audio Research CD7 sliding cover - How it works?
Do you mean to tell me that on such an expensive cd player, you have to manually slide the cover closed? My very old Sony SCD 777ES sacd player does it automatically. Then again, they use their own transport, not some cheap Phillips pro plastic tr... 
Why is it that?
When did AI come out with the 4A? I see no mention of it on their site. 
Why is it that?
