Redbook Keeps Surprising
Cleeds/others who know the law: One other serious question,...consider this scenario; I buy a disc from a regular retail source, pay the prescribed market price, listen to it, don't rip it or save it in any way and then grow tired of it, and give ... 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Cleeds: I do avoid the practice, please look at my system/room photos, you'll see I have what is a very large collection that is ongoing and constantly growing, not shrinking. I was asking a straight-up question and thank you for your answer. 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
I wish the record labels worried as much about sharing the profits with the artists (and for dead artists, their estates & families) FAIRLY themselves and in proportion to the artists’ actual contributions versus the record label’s, to the sam... 
Rubidium Clock
Good Morning! In the way of any update,....the Cybershaft has well over a 1500 hours on it at this point (and the RB and OCXO clock outputs are equally broken in) and I've done a lot of testing over a wide variety of material (CD, XRCD, SACD) and ...

You are very welcome...good luck with your listening and experimenting! 
Jumpers
Sorry for the delay in responding,...work and life took time away since my questions to the OP.  With monos you are already setup well in a number of ways for either configuration. You haven't stated what you think you are missing and why you are ... 
Jumpers
Reading the post you seem to be asking whether using jumpers of the same cable is preferable to using a "shotgun bi-wire", i.e. 2 identical runs of the same cable to your speakers.  People can help with this by way of of advice as many have been t... 
Rubidium Clock
Thank you for checking all that out and letting me know your thoughts!I have only been using the Rb 10Mhz output thus far and like it very much. It ups the ante on 'meat/substance" around each note and the overall musical presence.  It's a not so ... 
Rubidium Clock
tboooe: Thanks for dropping me an in-mail,...hope you've had a chance to review the Rb and OCXO calibration/test and Allan Deviation plots for the Cybershaft clock; let me know if you have any questions.  I'm very happy to find a 10Mhz master cloc... 
Best sounding universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD)
I've always stayed away from modified players/gear in general for 2 reasons; (1) the original manufacturer's warranty is voided when you open the unit and start changing/adding things and (2) most of the mod'ers I've talked to seem to have 'their ...

Looks like he may be back....look up some current Esoteric, Accuphase and Sansui listings as auctions with no reserve and/or ridiculous low prices for Esoteric P1 and C1 gear, etc...the person has actually already managed to amass negative 1 feedb... 
My Classe CP700 preamp needs service
I owned a Classe CP-700 very happily for a couple of years; their customer service is first rate. My advice would be to have Classe repair the unit (back to factory spec.) and then contemplate the riskier question of letting some upgrade company m... 
Best sounding universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD)
A fine list indeed....there is another version of the Esoteric UX-1, the 'Limited' upgrade version (I had the UX-1 then paid Eso for this upgrade) that sounded even better than the stock UX-1.  If you only needed CD and SACD, I would suggest the X...
