| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 If you can’t get it sorted out, I have a KAB rumble filter that would do the trick. I am not using it any longer and I could give a good price on it. Food for thought. | |
| R2R SACD Player? I had 2 Wyred4Sound DAC’s, the Dac1 and 2 and hated the treble glare from the ESS chip, I don’t see why people love it. I was stupid to buy the Dac2 after not liking the dac1 but was told there was no treble glare. I call BS on that. | |

The arm was always cocked to one sid... | |

| R2R SACD Player? Second hand Esoteric X-1 and X-3 SACD players use the Burr Brown PCM1704 R to R ladder Dac and sell between 6 and 8K. I own the Esoteric UX-3 which is the same as the X-3 except it also does DVD audio. It uses the same DAC and I will never sell... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model One and Five I would think it’s a safe bet for a used Jeff Rowland amp. I wouldn’t worry about it breaking down. It’s no different than buying a used car, but with much less parts to go wrong. | |
| Tough amp decision @hoosierinohio Sell it then and reap the profit. | |
| Nordost Purple Flare for GoldenEar triton One.R Nordost on GE speakers sound thin and a bit shrill.
