Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
Audiogon certainly made hi-fi affordable to me with its vast available resource of buying and selling second hand goods whereas I otherwise wouldn't have built/trialed so many components in many different systems in a short amount of time within a... 
New Nixon Dac question...
Oh, and the new dackit doesn't have that phase problem anymore according to the website. 
New Nixon Dac question...
I think the input impedance on your amp/preamp has to be quite high to match the output impedance of the dackit. It doesn't have anything to do with voltage output as far as I know. I have the dackit and hooked it up to an amp with 22k input imped...

Oops I got There She Goes mixed up with Here Comes Your Man... they sound so much alike... 
Who u gots da most uv???

At #1 with a total number of 14 cds in my collection is Momus. At #2 with 12 cs in my collection is Beautiful South. Funny, both bands offer "witty and twisted lyrics" same as Sean's description of Skyclad not that I've heard of them. Momus is hea...

CD outputs and HDCD
I am on the same wavelength as audiopile. The few HDCDs I have sound great on my system botn on my HDCD and non-HDCD transports. It's too bad not all CDs are made with HDCD encoding. I guess the recording industry has no profit in it for switching... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
Now that's a rhetorical statement if I've ever read one = P. 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Yo Larry, thanks for covering my behind. Lord knows I need it since KP can't stop looking at it = X.I remember when I first hopped onto Audiogon, I discovered lots of tidbits that improved my system immensely. And, one of these tweaks got me dance...

Green Mtn Europa vs. Von Schweikert VR1

How does the CLD-59 rate as a laser disc source?
BTW, I have a 704 that I haven't used for awhile if anyone is interested. The 704 is the non Elite model comparable to the 99. I think it just lacks dual dacs that the 99 model has. The 99 also has longer warranty and better fascia not that the wa... 
What is "west coast sound"
Isn't HiFi Choice a Brit mag? Maybe the reviewer meant Wales or even Ireland. Also, when I think of West Coast (jazz), I think of Chet Baker.
