Audio Refine Complete vs. Puccini SE int
Thanks for responding you guys. I checked out the Passion components & kits a while ago and decided if I am going to go that that direction it is going to be the Edison 60 for it's versatility (SE, UL, 300B, etc) and overwhelmingly stellar rev... 
Antique Sound Lab Amps
Wow, Pretender, you move quickly! If you think that your speakers sound impressive now, wait until 200+ hours. A whole different level of performance and it doesn't stop there. Dekay suggested that I first try a Doc Bottlehead Foreplay tube pre-am... 
Antique Sound Lab Amps
I have also been looking at ASL amps for my JMR Twins mkII's the last few weeks. I wonder what's the sonic difference is between the MG-SI15 15 watt SE integrated (KT-88's) and the KI-15 15 watt SE integrated (6x6AS7's)? Too bad I can't find any d...

Diy "recepies" for speaker wire anyone?
Of the many DIY speaker cable recipes, two stand out immediately as the most used, respected, and tested; Chris Venhaus' excellent Cat 5 as mentioned above (must be teflon, plenum doesn't assure this), and Jon Risch's Belden #89259 recipes (also i... 
Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
I looked all the way back to to September in this forum and couldn't find a thread titled "good entry level transport". Please let who makes the CD carousel. Is it the Aiwa XC-37M? 
Anyone heard a Musical Fidelity X-DAC?
Sugarbrie, talk about odd suggestions, but I am definetly going to check it out. You never know, sometimes solutions are so cheap pride makes people overlook them. But, what a bargain it will be, I could use the saved cash on the X-DAC (since mone...
