Thanks to Paul McGowan


About a year ago I bought a PS Audio BHK pre-amp  & was very pleased with the improvement in sound quality over the Rotel I had been using. I put in a pair of 60s era Telefunken tubes & thought it sounded great so I went shopping. Recently  I found a pair of PS Audio M1200 mono blocks & thought what the heck. I got them home & installed NOS 1958 Telefunken.tubes.
I should mention the amp I had in the system was a highly modified Carver TFM 45 I bought in the 80s.
What a difference! Have you ever had that OMG moment when you get to hear your music for the first time. I should have ditched the Carver yrs ago.
My hat's off to Paul McGowan!

In the early 1990s I bought a Rotel  RCD 855 compact disc player (retail price $399.99) which actually sounded pretty good on its own.  It was equipped with a coaxial output which allowed the 855 to be used as a CD transport.  Paul had recently introduced his P.S. Audio Digital Link dac (retail price $799.99), so I bought one to use with the 855.

That little dac rocked and was a noticeable improvement over the dac in the 855.  

To this day I miss the 855/Digital Link combo.  It had a really nice synergy and was affordable. 😊

I've got a Rotel CD player on the shelf somewhere. Maybe I'll hook it up sometime

Fertguy perhaps he was just annoyed because you walked in front of the speakers.
