| How much difference could a simple Banana plug make? @yping - No real change from my comments in my other posts above. They are sounding very detailed and quick - probably the least amount of burn-in I've applied to any of the KLE Innovations connectors (i.e. Bananas and RCA's) - approx 130 hours - ... | |

| How much difference could a simple Banana plug make? @lak - looking forward to your feedback on the bananas. :-)QUESTION: Have you ever tried using the 16 gauge for the signal on both LF and HF leads and then use the thicker 10 gauge as the neutral conductors of HF and LF leads.I've found this has... | |

| Denon DL 106 vs Clearaudio Maestro Wood Based on Pistol Pete’s comments on what the Maestro brings to the table... Maestro: soundstage is full and distinct; frequency balances are smooth and extended top to bottom, rather PLUSH and RICH, with a sense of air and space that makes listeni... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch .... I plan on giving my P3-24 to my son. In that case from the two you are considering - I would go for the Technics.I think Rega have been sitting on past laurels for far too long and the competition now surpasses much of their pro... | |

| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch - Not sure if you are prepared to get your "hands dirty", but here is an option that can work in your favour for less money.Replace the Arm on your existing Rega with an Audiomods arm. They are superb and you can get it with a micrometer ... | |
| Added value of separate server? I’ve tried a few combinations of computer, Apple PC and DAC and the best to date, both in sound quality and simplicity is storing all my music on a NAS drive with dual mirrored drives using RAID config and use a Blusesound Node 2 to stream content... | |
