DAC upgrade
Acold7dusta,P.S. I got the PSU upgrade of the Jerome from Wayne at Bolder and completely agree that it's a serious improvement. 
DAC upgrade
Check out the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge or the Berkley Audio Alpha. I think spending more than $5k on CAC right now is risky given the current pace of innovation and upgrade process. I'd Go for a company a track record and reputation fo... 
High pitched buzz caused by Squeezebox Touch?
Ok. Posted too soon. The buzz is back and, again, the only way to remove it is to remove the power supply from the equation. What I find odd and impossible to explain is why it takes an hour for the noise to begin and an hour after the removal of ... 
High pitched buzz caused by Squeezebox Touch?
My system is: Classe' Delta series 2200 amplifier, Conrad-Johnson CT5 preamplifier, PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC/Transport and Thiel 3.7 speakers. Cabling is Shunyata. I spoke with Wayne at Boulder and he suggested moving the Touch away from my other... 
Shunyatas New CX series
Antonkk,Per my consultations with Shunyata research, I run my amp directly into a seperate 20 amp line as opposed to running it through the Triton. If I did not have this 20 amp line, they would recommend running it through the Triton. I have a lo... 
Upgrading Fuses
Lacee,Your experience mirrors mine exactly. This hobby has never been more fun and these fuses are a welcome, budget-priced upgrade that helps me get the most music out of what I already own. The key word for me here is Music. I favor anything tha...

Upgrading Fuses
Jedinite,If you haven't experimented with a good power conditioner or after market power cords, you might consider that before fuse upgrades. The advantage of power conditioners is that they can improve every component plugged into them. They also... 
Shunyatas New CX series
Oddeophile,There's no doubt that the King Cobra is one-of-a-kind. I spent a couple of weeks comparing one with an Anaconda CX on my old Hydra to the wall. To me the KC provided a bit more bass and an even smoother top end than the Anaconda CX. Eve...

Frogman,You're right about musicians. All the guitarists I know (some famous, some not) are very particular about whether they use a certain tube amplifier or one of solid state design. None of them argue over whether there's a difference. 
Upgrading Fuses
Jeff,Your lack of seriousness makes you a far more worthy opponent than I have been on this forum. I took the bait and that's my bad. I, do, however, find it hard to resist defending good products made by good people. Questioning the veracity of a...

Check out Mr. Jones' other thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1318078909&openflup&2&4#2Apparently, I'm not the only member who is perplexed by someone who has contempt for a hobby choosing to post on a website de...

Metro04, You demanded measurements that explained Hifi Tuning's claims. It's been posted here. Why do you ignore the data and requests for your credentials? Because you continue to imply that they are snake oil salesmen, you owe the inventors at H...

I'll quit if you will, Jeff. ;-)
