| Your thoughts on a phono step-up transformer? I'll retire this thread by saying that I finally settled on a brand new Denon AU-S1 step-up transformer. I bought it from The Music Room. They are very easy to deal with and I recommend them highly. The sound of the step-up was just what my system... | |
| Ultradisc II 24kt Gold CD Resurfacing? FWIW, my Cat Stevens 24Kt MoFi Ultradisc was cracked from the center to the CD edge. Not wanting to give it up, I laid it out flat and put a thin line of superglue along the crack. A few days later, after it had dried thoroughly, I played it on my... | |

| Selecting used Stax phone and amp dbphd,Today (9-24-20), there is a Stax amp (T1) and Lambda headphones available (not mine) here on Audiogon for $1,550. If you haven’t bought a pair yet, then these are for you! Take a look! The only thing the T-1 lacks are balanced inputs. That's... | |
| Your thoughts on a phono step-up transformer? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and recommendations. I’ll give them some thought, and probably make a purchase in the very near future.

If you have an unlimited budget, I think you should buy every available cable, then select the one you like the best. Failing at that, I think you should follow millercarbon’s advice and read re... | |

| Upgrade Question If you're confident in the Musical Fidelity sound and build quality, take a look at the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 DAC available here on Audiogon. I have no connection to the seller (Skyfi), but I'm aware that that DAC is head and shoulders abo... | |

| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer tonnesen,My advice would be to go ahead and send the Sony to the landfill if you need SACD and look for a used Oppo 105. You won't be disappointed. I know it will play SACD. |
