LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
Tons of gain with the MicoZOTL even on low mode. Could never  get past 10:30 with any amps I had. Sounded real good but real tough to just get the right volume.  Lot of fun tweaking though with different tube and fuse combos,umbilical cords etc.  ...

Crazy question. Any upgraded 2 prong 18 gauge power cords available ?
Thanks. Never had a pice of audio equipment with a C7  cord. After looking around they are used quite a bit. Thanks on the adapter idea.

Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV
Hey Gabenda, I moved on to a Bricasti M3 w/network card. As you know I had a Cary 600 and 700. Very good and always listenable but just didn’t seem to get that last 10% of transparency. The 800 seems crazy expensive for marginal improvement. Are ...

What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
Retail around 50k Out of pocket around 30K I have a 50k boat but most of my friends have 150-250K boats. They look at my speaker cables and think I am nuts. I see them working their ass off on their boat and think their crazy.  Everybody spends... 
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
Fantastic room!! Maybe a few window treatments would warm up your digital side a bit?. Awesome setting!!  
Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4)
You can use Mconnect or other UPnP interfaces for the Bricasti. I really like my M3 but the Meitner MA3 looks pretty interesting. The Meitner offers a USB for local files so you could play your rips with no need for a nas or a streamer. Really lik...

new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today
Thanks Ross I listened to the MA3 at a dealer with the flagship B&W 804? The Mac 600 w amps.  Sounded good and the idea of attaching  a portable SSD was pretty cool.  I do like my current setup. Between the Melco’s filtering and the EtherRege...
