Why so many Power plants for sale?
P300 does not deliver enough power for any amp, even my integrated B60. By this I mean, it restricts power flow and you notice that dynamics become too tame and flat -- not dynamic in other words. If you don't care about dynamics because your gear... 
Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says?
1) there do not seem to be MF dealers while I live, near Chicago. I would definitely audition first if at all possible, also I don't think MF or dealers offer free home trial??2) Sam Tellig reminds me of some kind of slick used car salesman. I don... 
Love for music shatter by highend equipment
I rarely buy CDs for people as gifts because I think the sound is terrible on most people's mediocre CD players. I would rather buy them tapes. I only buy CDs for myself but it's taken me over a decade to build a CD-based system that I like. 
Power cable question.
Nobody has mentioned JPS Labs Power AC. I like it a lot and there are some favourable reviews at Soundstage also.I found that the Harmonic Tech AC-11 sounded completely different in my system than the JPS Labs. All the power cables do have a diffe... 
SIlver Cable Experiences?
I'm using Audioquest Diamonds from Dac to Preamp, and they've sounded better than anything else I've tried including most of the HT line. I have solid state ampBryston B60. But I did use copper from preamp to amp, a pair of XLO Type 1. I've read a...

I guess I'm a little late here, but just for the sake of anyone else looking at these posts: I also would like to hear the Creek, I currently own a Bryston B60. I like the B60 and have tweaked it with high-end ICs to replace the stock jumpers, and... 
Audio Alchemy DTI v2.0 with PS-2 or no?
I have an MSB Link Dac, and I've done extensive testing with and without my AA DTI Pro. At one time I actually preferred having no DTI and using just a Canare Digiflex cable. Later I realized that the DTI did improve, but actually it was not an un... 
Transport - will it really make an improvement
This question about transports is very critical to me also these days. I've spent much time wrestling, internally with it. I keep wondering should I get a real kick-ass megabucks transport or a megabuck DAC or CD player? But in the end some experi... 
Help with digital cable BNC ?
I've used Canare and it seems to work well, I like it better than AES/EBU cable I had and I even liked it better than Illuminations, with my Dac. With digital cables there is really no way to know until you actually try them. This is one area wher...
