They pack Tannoy Westminsters and Klipschorns in tiny rooms with flea powered SET amps.They s... | |
| MFSL Gold Little Feat I was disappointed with "Sailin' Shoes" on my main player. I played it on my super cheap Sony changer thru my cheap LitE DAC Ah! and it sounded much better.Go figure!! | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Hmmmm. I doubt that Home Depot type wire is the same quality as, say, DG Labs, which is silver coated copper with shielding and vibration damping...You didn't mention you were looking for these features in your OP.I guess we have different ideas o... | |

| Johnny Cash Cash has one of those voices people either love or hate,like Dylan,Willie Nelson and Levon Helm.I happen to admire all of them. | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? D,"the customer is eventually satisfied" is not a real flattering description of how a business should operate.BTW,nobody has accused them of being "shady".Maybe I just expect more from a business. | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Whether or not the "work is stellar" or "the wait is worth it",a company should acknowledge when a customer communicates with them.The treatment you are recieving is just bad business practice that seems to be happening more and more according to ... | |
| RCA to RCA vs. RCA to XLR You get no benefit using unbalanced to balanced,why pay for it.Just a thought. | |
| CD and SACD player under $500 I bought a Sony 595 SACD changer after hearing Buconero rave about it on several threads.I was hoping it sucked so I could bust his chops!! This thing actually sounds pretty good.I installed a Lite DAC Ah(another excellent,cheap piece of equipment... | |
