| Is now a good time to buy a pre-owned DAC? The only new DACs I have purchased are the Mytek Liberty (so I could see what all the MQA fuss was about) and the DAC in my OPPO HA1, which I have since sold. Both were about $1K. I spent about $500 more for a second hand Auralic Vega and it is i... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Todd Rundgren - RuntIt's a pressing from the Netherlands. I picked up a couple of other records that came from the Netherlands at my local record store recently. Whoever had them took really good care of them and they sound great. | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Hockey pucks. OK, I don't know that they actually have any impact on sound quality, but due to space limitations, I have to stack some components in my bedroom and it helps give some breathing room between them, hopefully it will help prevent an ... | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp I own a Peachtree Nova 300 and it sounds great. I think it’s a much nicer looking piece than the typical "black box" gear. In addition to being very musical, it has a great DAC and headphone amp and the fact that it takes up less space was one of ... | |
