What is the best DAC ever made?
Plus it is coming next year. 
do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals?
I strikes me that we will increasing see boxes that use big storage to store multiple cds or worse for non-immediate replay from the cd transport. The question is going to be which affords the best sound. VRS was the first of these that I saw and ... 
CES 07 Show Report
Each time I attend and read others' reports of what they heard, I am once again convinced that I need to go myself. While I concur with much of what Brainwater says, some of what he says is grossly at odds with my impressions and he omits most of ... 
RCM Fluid Applicator: Loricraft
I have had a Loricraft 3 for nearly five years now. I once had the Keith Monks and will tell you that the Loricraft is much more dependable. I spritz the L'art du Son vinyl cleaner on and scrub the record with the nylon brush with the long directi... 
Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .?
It may also have been the efficient horn speakers I had at the time.My thinking is that there is greater resistance to ground on the path involving the vdHs. I thought the was commonly accepted as a problem with them. 
Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .?
Zaikesman, I this is caused by ground loops through the grounding of interconnects. I tried metal shielding with no benefits. 
do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals?
Grateful, I have never had a copy that would not read, but I entirely agree that experimenting with cdrs and burners can drive you crazy. I would add also cd and cdr cleaners. I have quite experimenting. 
CES / THE Show
I did not catch the MBL suite this CES, but I did hear favorable comments from others. The only time I thought the MBLs sound any good over the last ten years was at the last RMAF.This is too bad as this is one of too few innovations in speakers. 
Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .?
Kevziek and Zaikesman, sorry I misinterpreted what Kewziek was saying. I guess I spend too much time reading on Prop Head on AA. I once had the carbon First Wire and now use the non-metal Cerious Technologies interconnects. I had to abandon the Fi... 
Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .?
Kevziek, I am afraid you are being too simplistic. There is the fact that copper oxide is very resistive and silver much less so. I don't like palladium's sound and for that matter gold's sound, but neither oxidizes.There are substantial differenc... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Now the best I have heard is the LSA Model 10s. I doubt these speakers will ever be produced. 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Itball, see my post about CES to see where I am coming from. I have been at this for 40 years and could not afford these then. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1168619154&openmine&zzTbg&4&5#Tbg 
Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .?
I think Palladium's not oxidizing is its attraction. I have heard two different Palladium ics and find they have a soft and overly midrangy. I guess I just prefer silver or copper. I think it draws easily also. 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
This speaker will never exist. All speakers are compromises and your low price means no new designs and stock drivers. Two or three drivers in a box will not achieve your goals. 
CES / THE Show
As usual, I seem to be the odd man out. I heard most of the speakers mentioned above and they are not among my top five. My top five are the Magico Version 3s, the YG Kipods, the Lamsche coronas, the LSA Model 10s, and TAD Model 2s. The LSA Model ...
