| A-B testing of cables Thanks for referencing the audioholics articles. I know it well and was about to list it myself. In it, they call the DBS system snake oil, and follow up with some scientific info as to why the DBS will make no difference. I see a couple of proble... | |
| looking for a new cd player........ I'm not so sure about the Sony ES comment. I have a 9000ES I bought to try SACD's. Its a good mass market player, but it was no match for my 1072. I had them side by side. Also, you have to be careful with the Sony. (at least the one I have). Afte... | |

| tonearm cable vs regular IC + ground wire My TT's are setup this way. I use regular IC's with no ground wire. Never had any problems. | |
| Audiophile Fuses "08-18-15: YogiboyZd542, Have you ever done a blind listening test with your fuses? Just like the difference with gold and silver plated spades on speaker cable,. I think you will come to the conclusion that it is all just Smoke and Mirrors! But l... | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray "But this is what upsetting. In spite of their reputation for a great build, esoteric still releasing for sale units that are not 100% defect free.

| A-B testing of cables It doesn't matter what you say, he'll never change his position. Its not about cables, its about him being right. Give him all the proof you want, and he'll come up some excuse, no matter how small, to invalidate whatever it is you show him. Here'... | |
| looking for a new cd player........ The Rotel 1072 is outstanding if you can find one. I replaced mine with an Arcam 33. That's another good choice. | |
| Audiophile Fuses What if the audiophile fuses made the sound worse? Would it still be a placebo, or would the negativity legitimize the results? | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no I have it both ways and get good sound with, and without a preamp. | |
