| Dedicated line w/ upgraded parts or power cond? When we put a new addition on the house a few years ago, we had to upgrade our panel. At the time, I added 3 dedicated lines for my new listening room. Ran 10 gauge Romex and used FIM receptacles. The one thing we made sure of and this is very imp... | |

| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Yea, Spirit in the Sky is a great choice.Over the years, one that would always just pop into my head out of nowhere was "Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman. Released in 1970. | |
| Any experience with a crown K1 or K2 amp? I've been using the K2 for a number of years to drive my two 18" Infinite Baffle Subs. The K's are very rare in the pro world as they don't use fans for cooling. Either K is a great choice as a sub amp. They like to be fed a higher gain pro balanc... | |

| Happy with USB DAC? Some rambling included.. Most of the DAC manufactures just threw the USB on their dacs to make them compatible with computers. The implementation is mediocre at best.Ayre, Wavelength,and dCS utilize asynchronous USB which is incredible. I have an Ayre DAC and it totally o... | |
| Belles 21a 22a or audible illusions modus 3a I just posted my impressions a few days ago about the 21A and 22A. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1274316075&read&keyw&zzbellesWhile the 150A Hot Rod is a nice little amp, funds allowing, I would consider upgrading t... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? Davt,You would be a strong candidate for the VT-01. It is a giant killer at $4700.The thing I've noticed most with Belles' new generation of products (including his amps) is the absolute dead quiet background. This all contributes to more "space" ... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? Wig,I lived with the 21A w/Auricaps for 4-5 years (Mullard tubes). I can unconditionally say it is one of the great values out there. I had used it with the Belles 150A Ref. until last year when I upgraded to the MB200 Mono-blocks. WOW. Even thoug... | |
| Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker If you can't afford to have Jim Smith come to your house, at least buy his book-"Get Better Sound". His quarterly newsletter, which is sent to all purchasers of his book, is alone worth the price of admission. | |
| Why are server setups so costly relative to CDP's? They're not. I guess it depends on what price point you're aiming. My headless Mac mini and external drive coupled to an Ayre Dac is a whole lot less than my Naim CD5x with Flatcap 2 PS. And the Ayre sounds incredible. | |
| Do CD treatments improve rips? Treating a CD is only beneficial (and that's questionable) for when the CD is being read in real time by the CD player. Ripping is more a function of the software. Most software has error correction so it will reread the CD until it gets it right.... | |
