| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Look for member Dougdeacn's threads for a "recipe" for etching holographic mylar tape and sourcing for the raw materials. | |

| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries Cw- I have the Music Streamer+ which is very nice sounding and costs about the same as the VDAC. I have not used it w headphones; I am using it to feed the digital stream from my music server to the NHT M00/S20 speakers I have in my office. I have... | |
| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries HRT Streamer is powered via the USB port of your pc/laptop. Obviously would result in faster drain of the laptop battery, but I can't imagine it would be significant in comparison to the HDD or display. | |
| Reference 3A La Suprema- Manual/advice wanted Hey, thanks, my friend. So far you are the only person I have found who actually has used these speakers. Will post my impressions when I get them hooked up correctly. | |

| COMPACT PHONO PREAMP? ZYX Artisan, if you are looking for something at the higher quality end of the spectrum. Its v small (6"W x 2 1/2"H x 7 1/2"D) runs on a battery which is charged by a wall-wart and really has no controls beyond on/off and mm/mc. Given the very low... | |
| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms If you are only used to listening to systems driven by big, high current SS amps, you might that it is true. Many good, multi-driver speakers that mate well with SS amps have low impedences. However, there are many very, very good speakers with hi... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue The big tubes are the power or output tubes. You do not want to touch those w/o letting them cool off or using gloves. | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? Vvrinc- that one is SCARY!!!! | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? You haven't really heard what they're capable of until you put a Clever Little Clock in the room. And on that note, my nomination is:http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/auc.pl?accstwek&1259461334 | |
| New speakers needed on a budget Vandersteen 2ceSigs currently listed for $900, I think. Also Triangle Celius or Antal ESWs would come in at or under your money. Fial | |
| USB Length, jitter and Volume Control Questions That's essentially what it says in my new Music Streamer+- 5 meter max. Interestingly, it also says the shorter the better. Great little (and I do mean little) DAC! Highly recommended. |
