Upon his suggestion I got a wireworld 5 and a Cardas cable that he suggested I try. The wireworld was very analytic and ... | |

I usually just turned on amp on at a time. Also, the Capitole has several digital inputs allowing for choices of DVD, ... | |
| Transports and Dac's mix and match Brands I mix with no worry. You will find that, for instance, some DACs will sound better when they are in a CD player and you are playing CDs as opposed to feeding it from an external source. The system was built as a Cd player first and alternative inp... | |
| The little guys? Watch for a Verastarr Auction. Money well spent. | |

| anyone else hate locking RCAs? Jallen makes a good point, especially for those of us who like vintage equipment. Some of the RCA (both male and female) do vary in size and locking contacts help very much. | |
| DVD upscaling; motion movement pic quality Upsampling is a nifty thing...but not the real McCoy.I use an Anthem D2 which does a decent upsampling...but it will never beat true BluRay. | |
| Adding a Squeezebox - Upgrading Path? Yes, as I said squeezebox + external DAC = Bliss(!) | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Kevin was the first dealer I called when I wanted to try tube rolling. At that time I had a McIntosh 2102 amp that Kevin was very familiar with and an Audio Aero Capitole amp which he had almost no experience.After a long and very informative disc... | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound It could be that you are experiencing the 'weakest chain' issue..that another component is not good enough to reveal the subtle upgrade in another.Welcome aboard, good luck and God Help you [(:>} |
