| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No GOOD!!! | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No Roger has had trouble getting many of the P12 out the door, but I do know many have been delivered. I have tried to better understand the priciples he is using but cannot say I understand much better than I did on first reading the white paper on ... | |

| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No The Supratek is a good buy and is better than your unit, but there are many better units than it, including the better Audio Note preamps. None of these approach the H-Cat in my experience, and it is only a little more expensive than the Supratek.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century From the looks of it the Chardonnay looks to be a Syrah minus the phono stage, which was the best part of the Syrah. | |
| Which power conditioner for large amp and digital? I hesitate to enter this discussion as it is very complex and component dependent. I have tried more than 35 various ac filters and conditioners and like only several, but I know that my findings may be limited to my SET/horn system. I have found ... | |

| Point to point wiring. As Rushton says, circuit boards allow cheap components that look tidy. | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS I used the dCS Elgar by itself driving my amps as compared with the H-Cat line stage. The Elgar digital volume control sounds awful, especially unless as wide open as possible. As I have used other digital volume controls with similar results, I h... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? I guess much depends on what you mean as king. Sonically, it certainly is not. I cannot stand its sound. | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS Audio is not as expensive as racing catamarans or racing cars. I would, however, hate to see how much I have lost in audio. Oh, well you only go around once.Yada, I am using the Exemplar/Denon 2900, but my LPs are outstanding. | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS Having owned both, I can say that the dCS is a waste of time. I sold my dCS gear, but then again I sold the EMM gear also. | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? I imagine like all digital formats, its time is past. With massive storage possible, there will be no need for it. | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Slingshot, given your vinyl committment and few cds, I would invest little in a top sacd player. I think sacd is far superior to most cds, but vinyl is as yet unsurpassed. Yes, digital is much more convenient, but obviously you are will to make th... |
