DAC as pre amp
carlsbad2 = this man said it absolutely right. pre-amp = long time ago, when only phono signal was only a source (with am, fm radios), the signal was too weak, so pre-amplification was needed before any power amp. no more we need the pre. b/c an... 
power cable
Basic cables with good shield and copper thickness (also basic prices, e.g. $20 -30 per cable) are NOT WORSE than $1,000/cable! Let's think the cable as water pipe at home. Do you think 100% pure real gold pipe can give you exotic water, which ca... 
power cable
Unless current power cables are of poor quality (e.g. very thin, or noise-prone), you will not hear any difference. That's true based on physics. However, the new cable may give you better sound based on imperfect human-being nature, which tends t... 
USB Cable
Please, do not spend high $ for the USB cable. Well-made basic, cheap works same as expensive ones!  
Vinyl Lovers
To vinyl record lovers: I think most of the vinyl lovers tend to like original music sound WITH a little distorted sound by record playing and some noise also by record playing. CD playing is much better in terms of high fidelity of original musi... 
Cable elevators
I do not believe "cable-off-carpet" makes any sonic change unless power lines are under the carpet.   I tried many times, and found nothing improved. My speaker = Vienna Mahler (period).  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
To ghdprentice: My system is as follows. CD player   Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD (made in 2003 in England) Turn table   Sansui SR 929 (Denon DL-103R) Preamp      Onkyo Integra P304 (ca. 33 years old, Japan) Power amp  Yamaha MX-1 (old, old, 200 ... 
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
I removed my preamp, and inserted a volume control. The sound became really better, more clarity. Some people said the increased clarity is something ANALYTICAL. Totally non-sense! So-so grade preamp just simply makes audio signal a little bit dul... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
My audio system total $ = ca. $1,500 But, I can enjoy music better than my neighbor who owns B&W and etc. Why, I do have one more very high end part, my brain's selective filtration function. What is the function? It selects good part of so...

Worth fixing?
I purchased Rotel CD player in 2009 @$750. I think, at the time, the player was the only player Rotel made. So, though I don't remember the model No., you can get the info from internet search if you want. Anyway, 5 years- service, then the Rotel ... 
The Impossible Has Happened
DO you think a person who is both eyes blind can see the difference between yellow color and orange color? We, all human being, as aged (ca. 55 years or older), are suppose to lose hearing ability, especially high frequency such as 4kHz or higher... 
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
To mapman: You have mentioned exactly what I mean.  
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
If I had $1,000,000, I'd buy $100,000 audio system and buy $700,000 house in suburban area (hoping a lot of privacy, especially for music listening with quite loud volume), and with $200,000, modify the house to make a great audio room.  Looks li... 
Analog vs. digital
Poor men who don't realize the digital is a better format than the analog one. There have been many many 33.3 RPm LPs which were DIGITALLY mastered. Why? At the time, turntable music was still dominant than CD players. So, recording companies ...
