Best wire to replace stock wiring in preamp?
The interesting question about 1 bit dacs is what happened to them. They were superior IMHO to the multi bit dacs of the time. I do think, however, that there are clear differences in dacs especially were you to compare present ones with those of ...

Sorry I got in the way of a street fight. I think King_tut should go back to his tomb.

Siltech G6 is far and away the best connection wire I have heard. It made a monsterous improvement in the Exemplar 3910. It is expensive and hard to find. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
kkbt61, have you also heard the JBL Paragon? Two "experts" have told me it is superior to the K2s. 
APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?
Goose, I doubt if any more expensive unit gives twice the quality of sound as they cost more than twice as much.

I briefly compared the Exemplar 3910 and a stock one. I was shocked at the greater quiet and dynamics of the moded unit.

Darin, I think no one is likely to have heard everything or that you could really trust they might say anyway. This is why some people buy lousy cars or crappy wine. I once decided to buy six ac line conditioners and to decide on my own which was ... 
APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?
Tvad, I certainly have limited experience with being able to compare the many moded units with few exceptions. It irks me, however, when others make blanket statements that all you need is to buy x unit even though I know few are taken in my such ...

Styxtrekr, I thought the Exemplar 3910 especially with it further mods was unapproachable. I was dramatically wrong. I continue to be amazed at how far digital has come these last several years. All I can say is that once I heard the 5910, I could...

Smilin, Alex has several times said that he will send me one. I too would love to have the opportunity to hear it. Now, of course, it would be compared with the Exemplar 5910 which is a dramatic jump in performance over the 3910.

Jayctoy, I think the "shootout" had many problems, but more importantly it is now grossly obsolete given all the changes that have taken place. I should also note that at the VSAC that took place somewhat earlier, few preferred the Modwright Sony ...

Bob Fogel's impressions of the APL and identical to mine for the Exemplar 3910. I would have to say that I have a new Exemplar 3910 which is $2000 more expensive. Thus far it is outstanding and clearly better to my old 3910, however, it has only 9...

Sd2005gt, I am most curious about the Reimyo also, but it may be difficult as I do not own the Reimyo. 
What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns?
Yea, right.

Klipsch was, of course, speaking at a time when he was talking about tube amps. He also is reputed to have said the what the world needed was a good 1 watt amp.
