| Any Neko Case fans? Furnace Room Lullaby is very good with haunting emotional lyrics. Its the only one of hers I have and would like to find another to try. Which of the three you have is your favorite? | |

| I need help choosing a DAC The Apogee Mini Dac w/firewire is good match for the Mac Mini. | |
| Oxidation, how to prevent? Actually the Caig Gold has a small amount of Deoxit and unless the contact surfaces are heavily corroded should be quite sufficient. | |
| Tube rolling 6922 tubes looking for transparency I second the EH 6922. They are much better than Sovtek, cost little and in my experience greatly outlive most NOS. | |

| What are you using to clean plasma screen? I'm using the supplied micro fiber cloth that came with my 5080 tho it rarely needs it,just wipe very lightly. Pioneer advises against using anything but this cloth and distilled water if necessary so not to harm the coating on the panel surface. ... | |
| Any reason not choose an Apogee Duet? Mcmanus - "Do this until you have found your sweet spot. I did this with about 6 from $300 to $2,600 and ended up with one that was $1,100." Would this be the Exemplar Mini DAC? I tried finding info on this DAC but wasn't successful. Is this a mod... | |
| Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter Dtsag, Ayre's customer service is considered to be among the top tier but the way to contact them for best results is by phone. %) | |
