| Vac 140's worth adding balanced power conditioner? Harve,I'm using NBS and Walter Fields has told me with these cables,go straight to the wall. Another thing is with adding the system star ground(my system) it sounds so good now I realy don't want to change anything. I think the majority of good p... | |
| XM, DAC Question Maybe a option,I use a Hughes HD-HTL receiver it has both a coax-rca and a toslink digital out. The Hughes connects to my Monarchy dac that I use for the XM feed provided by direct tv. I purchased the receiver on ebay for 50 bucks,works great and ... | |
