Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies.
Oppo, Oppo, and third Recommendation Oppo! It cannot be beat in pic or performance for base HDMI 720p or 1080i, excellent sound for DTS and Dolby.. Unless you must have SACD, and DVD-A than move to the Top of the line denon or one of the few below... 
Can anyone comment on the Audio Mirror Pp1 Preamp?
Phd, yeah basically it was an independent job and a fairly Tuff job with such big caps… As for the 12Au7’s, if Mullards they are the most TUBE sounding tube I have heard, I have the 12at7’s which are a bit more forward sounding, but found the extr...

They can sound more restricted, bass is not as full and heavy, you have to try it period... Nobody can prove this with as much tech info as I can Spew here trust me, by the way within these very pages you will find tons of info on running power am...

By the way, I can understand the using the monster, as for the 12 volt trigger etc.. to the amp.. But if you are willing to sacrifice the money like this to a power cord and audio is important than you will find the sacrifice in giving up a 12 vol...

#1 make sure you are not running your amp thru the monster center, I would guess you are not, but its a mistake if you are.. I have had them they do not sound as good as straight to the wall.. Also the 3600 has more filtering than the 2600 which r...

Zu Druid IV - the real deal?
Do these discussions ever serve this speaker, company, or the audiophile community with anything worthwhile accept the same group of people on one side vs. the other side especially on these products? I do believe that owners have an agenda to pro... 
Zu Druid IV - the real deal?
Most people will not put in the time to learn Burn in.. It takes a lot of patience, NOT LISTENING... You do not sit and listen for 15 hours straight and decide to see if something happens. But this much I can Guarantee, TUBES, Capacitors, And even... 
Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison?
Run both worlds.... You gotta keep a CDP no doubt, sometimes you just want to kick back and play DJ with a remote.. so Don't go 100% vinyl.. Also, it is true about the hassle and cost, you look at it up front and think its not that bad, but then a... 
BI AMPING
Jsman, in specific those speakers will probably have little to any positive reaction to bi-amping,, definatley save the money on buying a processor and additional amps and put it all into a better standalone 2 channel killer amp. You want more pow...

Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
Mundorf silver is one of the most perfect caps I have heard, they retain the sonic character of the equipment feeding them, smooth tubes, warm tubes, harsh tubes, terrible tubes, they show whatever is feeding them, excellent cap.. bass and overall...
