| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener If you are truly "non-anal" then you shouldn't care what the cable "sounds" like. At least that's what my proctologist says! | |
| Hearsay, Rumor, Myth or Fact? I have many Japanese CDs including Blue Note. CDs in Japan cost in the area of US$18-$25 each, so although you're paying a premium in US terms you're actually paying the standard Japanese price. I have, however, seen mini-LP japanese CDs selling f... | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades Amplifier 4yanx,I've been looking to replace my amp for some time now. Over the years I've followed McCormack; reviews, opinions etc. Today I ordered a DNA225 with the intention of having it upgraded to the Platinum Edition. I look forward to scheduling tim... | |
| McCormack DNA225 w/Platinum Upgrade??? Yes, I read it. Excellent review. | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades Amplifier Thanks for the excellent review. I'm using a Classe CA300 now but am considering the DNA225 with Platinum upgrade. If you get a minute could you compare these 2 amps directly? This will give me a firmer idea of the McCormack. I will probably not g... | |

| High quality transports I'm using a Wadia 270 SE and am more than happy with it. It's built like a tank and has about every output you would need. Not sure about compatability with your DAC though. That would take an actual listening test. But I will vouch for it's relia... | |
| Is a transport/DAC combo better than a CD player The answer to your question is: not necessarily. | |
| Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera A good one for April Fool's Day! Although it certainly would be interesting. | |
| Wadia 861 vs. 861 SE I had a 270 converted to a 270se. If I'm not mistaken, the transports are the same in the 861 and 861se. Mechanically, the SE transport is more robust and massive than the standard transport and appears to be of much higher quality. The standard t... |
