| DAC Noob - seeking suggestions The $300 is for the DAC only, right? Suggest Assemblage 2.0 HDCD with upgrade or Adcom 700. These are solid designs and very analog sounding for price range. Also the Scott Nixon is very good. | |
| Element Cables vs Signal Cable Understand the subjectivity of this game, but Signal Cable has racked up 1066 positive hits, no negative and I don't think it's manufactured. I own the product and find them a great value compared to a plethora of cables I've owned from Cardas to ... | |
| Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system... Must respectfully disagree with the "CDs are CDs" claim.

| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Expensive Life-Style audio, poor performance and lots of cash for the marketer. We all know who they are. | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all The earth is flat I tell you!! I've seen it with mine own eyes!! | |
| Loud bad noises Laser is most likely dying. | |
| What determines the volume of a Turntable? Should work fine. Output is combination of cartidge mV and phono amplification sent to preamp. | |
| Modify Oppo 980 or add External DAC? I own the Oppo and feel it's grand for what it is. However, it is a $200 machine, thus the transport assembly cannot be too expensive and all other parts surrounding it must be cheap. I would not drop hundreds into a mod on this unit as it may fai... | |
