What's the best AES Digital Balanced cable you eve
Sabai, I would appreciate getting a comparison of the HiDiamond to the Tesla D3, which it seems you were using earlier. 
Nordost Cable Sale
I must have been asleep. Where is this sale going on? 
Are Wolfson DACs considered
I wonder what that means when comparing it to the "sound" of the PCM-1704U or 63K? 
Are Wolfson DACs considered
Hmm, that's odd. When I created the original post the title had "warm"? at the end of it. Didn't show up when it hit the board. Oh well. 
World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets
Cani80, I'll be very curious about your impressions as time moves along. I have to say actually that the sound is improving in my system. I've been running my gear non-stop since I installed the Maestro (the beauty of using it for source gear firs... 
World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets
Hifisoundguy (and other Maestro users), this afternoon I installed one of these outlets and gave it an initial listen. This one serves all my source gear, which is fed by a combination of Audience Adept and RSA conditioners. I'd like to find out w...

I wish the Maestros were available in white. This will be a WAF problem, but I decided to give them a try. 
Review: Ultra Fi DAC-41 DA converter
Ed, as a regular concert-goer I appreciate how your comments are based around the context of real music and musical enjoyment. As an audiophile, however :-), there are some things I would like to know. In my searching I have not found any informat... 
Lampizator Transport?
I have to agree with Knghifi. I've had SB2, and have SB3 and Duets running - all wired and wirelessly - 24/7 for years. Power outages do nothing to my setup. Everything recovers and automatically re-establishes comms just like it's supposed to. I ... 
Mark Levinson n°39 or dedicated DAC?
I have a Proceed CDP which is very similar to the ML39 ... only real difference is an 18 bit DAC vs the 20 bit in the ML. I just acquired a Sony 5400es and even after 20 hours burn-in in I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements that have occ... 
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport
Sota Sapphire, SME 309, Micro Benz Glider, Proceed PDT, PS PWDMagnih, boy would I love to hear your thoughts on the sound if you could try the PWD with a PWT. I'm still using a Proceed PDT3, and for the life of me have not yet found a better trans... 
Ayre QB-9 USB DAC
Cdm, if it doesn't divert the thread too much, how did the 840C hold up against this interesting set of comparisons? 
Help needed - Quicksilver Full Function Preamp
Thanks Gmuffley. I'm a little surprised only because I thought for sure these caps were non-mettalized. 
Need a transport recommendation
Erik, Charles, have either of you had an opportunity to compare the PWT to well-regarded transports of yesteryear or today? 
VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm?
I am a bit confused by looking at the Hurst and Elusivedisc web pages. From the latter it appears that VPI is upgrading towards the lower rpm hurst motors, and that the 250 rpm motor is currently the best regarding low noise, but perhaps it cant b...
