| CD Player versu Dedicated Transport Answering your specific question: When used as a xport, you remove the dac from signal path. I don't know if the power supply sees it any differently, but it might. At any rate [sorry] there is certainly no harm using your player this way, however... | |
| parallel line conditioners No parallel unit I know of will act as a surge suppressor, how could it? Unless the spike was diverted to the parallel unit, but I don't see how the spike would know "where to go" unless it followed the path of least resistance. That would be one ... | |

| Ever used hybrid power amps? Anodyne is not widely known but their products compete with anything and everything out there. I have a signature tube dac, and 150W hybrid monoblocks. Easy to tube roll w/ one 6922 per amp, but you don't have to as Miniwatts give great sound w/o ... | |
| Best Stand for Totem Model Ones Lovan Ballet at http://www.audioadvisor.com. Go for the square tube model. | |
| Good inexpensive cables Canare's, including the 15' pairs now up for sale. DH Labs, LAT, Belden, CAT 5, CVH, Signal, etc. Lots to play with for the budget set. And not to disparage the AU24, apparent giant killers according to many owners. But diminishing returns kick in... | |
| Speaker Stands? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=240-744&DID=7These have a larger top plate than many stands. They were formerly priced under $100, but still a great value for a high-mass stand. They should be ideal for your JM Labs. | |
| Review of Blue Circle BC 86 AC Line Conditioner Rooze--Interesting results, indeed. I always thought parallel conditioners should plug into unused outlets, on or off the system's AC circuits. How can a parallel conditioner do its thing when plugged into a PS unit like yours, i.e., how does the ... | |
| Swan California Series - Anyone Know About These?? Swans of Hi-Vi Research/Dulcet is the Dynaudio of Canada [but no financial or business connection beyond the looks of their drivers]. They roll their own in their various factories [including East Asia]. I don't know if they utilize the Canadian s... | |
| What do you recommend for less than $3000 Jeff's Sound Values has a Quad setup [CD/Amp/Tuner] for $1400 which seems reasonable and should give many years of good service. JSV is a good outfit with fair pricing. And that leaves plenty of funds for good to excellent MMs, like Merlins, Tyler... | |
| Quad 2 mono's and Pre 22 for $430-Good Buy ?? Merlins are forgiving but deserving of a better front end, don't you think? SS is probably best on the demanding Dynaudio woofers but many have had success with tubes, esp. with the Tube harness now offered by Merlin. Repairs/upgrades may be an is... | |

| 12SL7GT tube gear Ed, I sold my custom linestage that utilized these tubes, and the buyer did not want the 30-odd extras that I'd garnered, thinking I would keep the piece forever. My bad. My tube guru can fabricate a new one but a bit dear for my holiday purse, an... | |
| dear lord, i need help... Lucifer here. I get excellent bass response [~40 Hz] with my SEAS Cygnets from Madisound. The ancillaries are a little over the top [P300/Delta/SF/Muse/Thule/Bel Canto] for a budget speaker, but they bring out the best in this modest but well-evol... | |
| Is hdcd worth having ?? HDCD comprises about 8 different parameters, with some/all used [or not] by the mastering labs of the world. And encoding is not always denoted on the jewel case, as mainiac states. Yes, it does make an audibly superior presentation but I wouldn't... |
