| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Tripp Lite MOV based suppressors> If so they aren't optimal for protecting audio equipment and going for non-sacrificial suppressors such as ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX are preferable. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @whart +1 on ZeroSurge. Similarly Brickwall or SurgeX @zlone You're correct even if you have whole home surge protection (I do) the electricians still advise other surge protection at the equipment. I've had lightning strikes powerful enoug... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @glennewdick No question that the DAC is more important however if you have had a decent transport and then swapped in a better transport the impact is quite noticeable and shouldn’t be discounted | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @no_regrets I think your questions on the transport were essentially answered in your 2 transport threads. That said, a quality DAC requires a transport that is on par quality wise otherwise you will not get the full SQ that the DAC can deliver. A... | |
| Stack Audio - Anyone knows them? @knockknock12 - Link below will lead you to the Stack Audio threads already on Audiogon. That said I use the Auva 100 speaker isolators, and have a set of the EQ system isolators and have found the SQ benefits well worth the relativel modest pr... | |

| Check This Out! @grannyring Bill, how would you compare this to the Tron Signature? I auditioned the Tron previously at Colin's so i am familiar with its sound. Thanks | |
| Six DAC Comparison "Tried a stupidly expensive UK made DAC in my system found it very disappointed. that was owned by one of my associates" And the DAC was what , or is this another I can't disclose because I "know the owner" excuse for not doing so. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @classicrockfan What’s the problem with naming the USA DAC that presumably was in your system and cost 10 times the cost and underperformed the SMSL? Also, you made the general statement that they outperform 10x more expensive USA and UK DACS, so ... | |
