ps audio perfect wave transport
I agree with Guinness. Forums are great places to express an opinion. PS has had several notices explaining why the MP is delayed. Better to bring out the right product late than a lesser product on time. Notice that Oppo is very closed mouth abou... 
video component cable length
No problem. I use Blue Jeans Cable for 45 feet. No worries. 
Jethro Tull questions...
In terms of Jethro Tull, in my opinion, nothing is better than Stand Up and Benefit, in any form. Thick as a Brick is a very good concept album with exceptional musicianship and writing. Aqualung is a great album for catchy tunes as well as muscia... 
Need dynamic DAC
I heartily recommend the PS Audio Digital Link III. I cannot compare it to the others as I have not heard them. For the money, $995 or less, it is a bargain. It is slightly warm in presentation, is still dynamic and articulate, has 3 inputs-Toslin... 
Get new FM receiver or better antenna?
I am in a fringe area, about 50 miles from most radio antennae in St. Louis. I have the 805 and use the Magnum Dynalab ST-2. I get great reception from all directions, no multi-path interference, little if any static. I mounted it outside but I am... 
DIY interconnects ... found MUCH success
I have found silver wire encased in cotton wrap, varying gauges, through Parts Connexion, unbleached non-wax cotton, by Jupiter. They also carry Deulund silver foil, 18 gauge equivalent, in a oil-impregnated silk dielectric jacket. Would either of... 
Tubed Pre question?
I have settled on a tubed pre-amp (Modwright) and Class D amp (Bel Canto). The tubed pre-amp gives a "body and soul" to the music and the Class D gives great dynamics, full frequency extremes and is extremely quiet. The greatest factor, however, i... 
DIY Anti-IC project
Isn't the purpose of using the Speltz method the use of solid single copper conductor and not a multi-stranded one? 
DIY Anti-IC project
Please post some pictures. You can do this under your virtual "system" page. I think its a great idea. After all, there is no magic to the speltz cables, just a great idea and cheap even when they cut and terminate for you. I have the Speltz speak... 
Using XLR to Rca adapter
Properly run, RCA will equal XLR. The purpose of XLR is for long runs with multiple adjacent lines- AC, Speaker level, antenna, other ICs, as in studios. I have runs of RCA that are 25 feet in length using a variety of shielded single ended RCA. A... 
source for long component and IC
Blue Jeans Cable LC-1. I have run up to 45 feet with no loss of signal and no interference using this shielded single ended RCA type interconnect. 
Rel Storm III Subwoofer with Custom Neutrik Cable
REL has their manuals online. Go to the Sumiko website. My small Q108 uses the yellow to left +, the black to left - and the red to right + and works fine. Check the website just to be sure.http://www.sumikoaudio.net/rel/idx_manuals.htm 
Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around
I think it is a great question and is relevant considering the state of the economy. It seems to me that long standing companies that use professional grade transports give you your best shot at longevity. I am considering the same question, and I... 
Nuforce Icon owners?
For those of you interested in the same scenario, Nuforce did respond to my question, but he wasn't sure if it would ruin the amp or not. I was told to go ahead and try it, and they would replace it. I wasn't up to that so I return the amp for a r... 
PS Audio Digital Link III
2chnlben,I have found the quality to be very good from this station, 128-192 kbps, but not as good as CDs.http://www.classicalarchives.com/radio/hifi.asxI am just beginning to explore this music source. There are others much more knowledgeable. Se...
