Burmester Lamm ARC Edge dartzeel house sound
Most Audiophiles want something they have no idea about, but they know, it exists. Somewhere. In a way, we all are Raiders of the lost sonic Arc, but there is ---> The Audiophile Hotline 
Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall
I think, it is - like everything - a personal decision. There is a Fangroup for everything and we all know the situation being in a Demo, when it is over and you analyze what the Audiophiles say about, it is like 5 Audiophiles, 6 Opinions. Fact is... 
Benz Ebony TR or Lyra Kleos SL?
The best favor you can do to your ears is to go for an output which is right for your preamp. Benz has a good selection.When you want to buy one of the carts above you need a SUT. There is a lot of inferior SUT's out there, most have bad datas and...

Are you serious the K1 is the ugliest thing I ever seen.The audio Desk never was a reliable unit. And that is a difference in comparison with nice optics. I can understand Rockitman, I would do the same (but I never bought the AD based on what I w... 
Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good?
I used the Plastic Eichmann Plugs (both, the Plastic ones but also their metal ones), they are indeed very, very good. Their grip is superior. Signal transfer is also top level. a few years ago I read a technical paper about their Design, it made ... 
Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good?
DIN / RCA / XLR has nothing to do with sound quality. What counts much more is the material they are made of. AES Standard rates copper as Standard for Signal transfer ability (=100%), Silver for example is 106, gold is around 90 and everything el... 
Apple Time Capsule mating
