AXPONA anyone?
I will be there. My first show in many years, I am quite excited about attending. 
Torn between two IC's... Please help...
Quit second guessing yourself. You said you would wait so do it! I have MA4~1mtr and 2mtr along with SP4 2.5mtr. I switched from all Acoustic Zen Hologram II spkr and Matrix Ref. It will take a good 250+ hours on repeat play with FM static or ful... 
HDtracks 24/96 Marvin Gaye - Worth it?
I would prefer the MG collection in .wav format. If you don't like it I will buy it from you for $11.00 :>) 
Do USB micro-B cables matter for External HD's?
+1 ~ Roll On! 
Lay away purchase
Like I said, horrible idea. I have a bad feeling about this guy! :>) 
Is the ''entry level'' DAC becoming extinct ?
I do not think they are becoming extinct, but I do think that the playing field is getting level. The differences between DACs has more to do with subtle differences and "flavor" if you will. I see your point though. I am more of separates fan and... 
Unison Research Performance integrated amplifier
If your speakers and musical tastes will allow, I think the Performance will be a very nice upgrade for you. 
Unison Research Performance integrated amplifier
I owned the Unison Research Unico SE hybrid integrated. 140 wpc into 8 ohm and 225 at 4 ohm. Preamp used 2 EH or Mullard 6922 tubes. I thought that it was one of my favorite amps that I have owned. I sold it when I switched to a speaker that was 8... 
Transport to DAC Connection: RCA or XLR?
We cannot tell you what sounds best. Try both and decide for yourself. Using the "RCA in" on the DAC requires a soundcard on the computer that has "RCA outputs". 
Rowland Model 112 or Simaudio Moon W5
Buy them both and resell the one that comes in second. 
What to expect from a new DAC?

$$$ vs music enjoyment
I must say that I too am in agreement!I remember the first time I heard Adele sing "Chasing Pavements"' or Melody Gardot "Baby I'm a Fool" I was wearing ear buds. I was so emotionally excited and happy. I was like "Dam'n'" these girls can sing. I ... 
Amps - New vs. Used
Tell us a little more about what you listen to and what elements of music reproduction you value most. This will keep us from recommending a dark laid back speaker to someone who looks for speed and dynamics. Nothing beats personal experience. Try... 
Amps - New vs. Used
I would get your mains situation figured out first. If your next upgrade is higher in efficiency or load you may be able to live with the current amplification a while longer and save more money to get a better amp. At that point you will know the... 
Quantum QRT QX4
Dcizmok~ I almost bought one a week ago. I got outbid. I am currently upgrading my system and have started looking at distibution and conditioning. I had been using Shunyata Hydra 6. I started looking at the Thor and the Isotek units or PS audio. ...
