Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack...
Yah, you tell'em Dave! 
Is this possible?
The installer is losing a single channel somewhere since this is a 6.1 receiver. That means there should be 6 dedicated speakers, 3 in the front and 3 in the rear. By splicing the rear channels, you only have 2 in the rear. This isn't a big deal, ... 
How does power cord affect a digital frontend?
I agree with SeanandTaylor that the laser mechanism in the CDP is a culprit in interferring with the power that feeds into the rest of the system. That is why it's best to isolate the transport from the rest of the system, and a good PC can help d... 
Anyone make an "audiophile" USB-RCA interconnect?
Maybe you can cut off one end of an USB cord and solder a RCA termination on. And, excuse me if I don't know what I am talking about. I am just waiting for someone to make a USB, Firewire or SATA wire with RCA ends. *dreaming* 
Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack...
In layman terms, the order of execution might not be correct.In some circumstances, totally isolating the system can cause it to sound sterile. However, I am not sure this is the case since the rack/component interaction hasn't been properly descr... 
Isolation Questions
The answer is yes, I think. Vibration drains in the direction of the pointed end of the cone, I think. So, the way the BDR is fixed to the CDP should be correct.And, having the pointed end touching the CDP might have more isolation benefits, but, ... 
Swap Outlet in PS Ultimate Outlet
Yah, this might be a little late...I used to have the Powerbar which has 3 PowerPorts if I remember correctly. I also have a single PorterPort in the wall with an Audio Magic Stealth Mini connected to it. I can't directly compare the two since the... 
Power cord for 47 Labs digital front end?
I got Wolff's Silverribbon and Silvercarbon cords on the Gaincard and Parasound/CEC transport. They are much better when compared to Eichmann AC, Bogdan Original AC, and Virtual Dynamics on my gear. I did have the Carbon cord for a while which is ... 
Open-Minded or Gullible?
Marco, You'd have a hard time getting a patent if the officer in charge is not an audiophile. After all, when a non-audiophile uses your "Rectal-Fire", he or she might just commonly refer it to a dildo. And, you can't sue the DIY people even if yo... 
Open-Minded or Gullible?
Marco,If analogue is to anal, then digital is to finger? 
Open-Minded or Gullible?
Some people might consider audiophilia to be the most anal hobby... actually they consider audiophiles to be the most anal... well... anal is no longer just a derogatory adjective in terms of all things audio. Thanks to Marco, we now know "anal-in... 
The best DAC for the money
Judging from posts from AudioAsylum, the question remains what makes the AckDack sound as good as it is described. Is it the digital filterless design or the battery?Either way, Chris Own has described all current production of his Ack! stuff are ... 
audioquest vs acoustic zen/kimber digital cable
This crazy guy never got the chance to use the MC2. Did thi crazy guy use the Nite? This crazy guy is too crazy to remember. However, crazy guy remembers he much prefers Cardas Golden Cross over Lightning. And, he remembers Siltech2 is not much fa... 
The best DAC for the money
Hey Bob, I was on the waiting list for a demo of the dAck! but think they forgot about me. So far, what is your experience with the DAC? My biggest reservation regarding a battery powered DAC is that I leave my system on 24/7. Do you think it as a... 
The best DAC for the money
I really like my $250 Nixon DAC.
