| Homemade floor protectors -- advice needed I use cone coasters by sound anchor (the people who make speaker stands). These disks have a "dimple" in the middle for the point of the spike to set in, and a kevlar/polyester "sandwich" on the bottom, which is easy to slide around. Look them up ... | |
| Assemblage - anyone??? Since I posted this in March, I have broken in my DAC 2.6, with (essential) op-amps and Burr-Brown filter upgrades, and D2D-1. I am sure the 3.1 is a better unit, but the 2.6/D2D-1 combination has been outstanding in my system. I do notice however... | |

| Speaker Help-B W,alon,AudioPhysic,Aerial Thanks everyone, I apprecate your "consensus" feedback! My only concern regarding the virgos was what I had read about placement considerations and how they sound better when placed toward the middle of the listening room, which would be hard for ... | |

| Assemblage 2.7 Paul,I have the 2.6, which is very similar except the 2.7 now has a PMD200 chip, which accepts both 24/96 and HDCD. The 2.7 also has an available platinum version. My 2.6 has the op amp and burr brown filter upgrades, and has improved my system dr... |
