| Rogue versus Peachtree Have you made a purchase yet? Why not try a new or used Esoteric RZ-1. I like mine. | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. Update: I switched my connection between MacBook and RZ-1 from USB to glass fiber. The MacBook has a two-way headphone jack, which also serves as a mini-toslink port. | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. I own the esoteric rz-1 and can say it is very nice in appearance and function. It sounds great, too. I decided to reduce the stack of separates in my livingroom. My laptop fits right on top. I Feed iTunes and Pandora to rz-1 via USB, which makes ... | |

| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade I borrowed several simple devices, which measure noise on an AC conduit. One was Monster Power "Dr. Power" and the other was AudioPrism "Noise Sniffer". The devices seem gimicky but yield startling noises. During the test, I unplugged the ice mach... | |

| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time I currently own:Kenwood KT-8300 (bought on New Year's Eve 2009 for $220 via local Craigslist. Looks like new). Accuphase T-101 (bought new in 1975, when I was in 8th grade. Also bought E-202 at same time. Paid on lay-away until my mom offered to p... | |
| Quality DAC with volume control - suggestions We like our Uther DAC with volume control. We use it in lieu of a traditional preamp to drive our CJ MV60SE amp. However, the Uther does not allow one to hear very loud music. Our typical music sources are Itunes via Toshiba laptop/HagUSB converte... | |
| Amphion Xenon vs Usher 6381 I like my Amphion Xenons in so many ways I cannot describe. They sound great anywhere in my home, which has hardwood floors. They sound detailed and full at lower listening levels, which my wife admires most. They reproduce simple jazz and voices ... |
