| Who has heard & compared the good tables? I'll second a used, older Well Tempered as a true high end bargain for the price (Bob | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Save yourself. Make a choice then never, ever go back and do it again. Comparing cables truly sucks and should only be done with one goal in mind ... to pick one then enjoy it forever.Bob | |
| McCormack DNA-2 vs DNA-225 I believe you mean an older DNA 1 and a 225. They basically have the same power output, but the 225 incorporates some of Steve's Revisions that he offers as a separate service. I believe the Rev B mods on the older amps (.5 and 1)reasonably equate... | |

| King Crimsom rediscovered Always like the pre-Belew King Crimson, but definitely didn't like the Thraaak era. However, I believe their recent one "The Power to Believe" is probably the best thing they've done in 20 years.Certainly harder than Court or Lark's Tongue, more l... | |

| Set-up Tips for Moerch DP-6? I recently set up my new DP6, replacing an Audioquest PT6. Here's a few things I found.(1) The PT6 mounting hole was WAY too large for the Moerch. I had to route out extra space, about 3/16" down into the plinth. Then get a rather large metal wash... | |
| What is the quietest preamp you've used? The quietest is ALWAYS going to be a passive device. You just can't beat that for transparency. However it has other shortcomings that are generally bettered by active stages.Enjoy,Bob | |
| What would you buy next? Well your older CD player is most assuredly surpassed by newer digital products. But even before I would suggest spending money there I would look at optomizing your room and system setup.There's plenty of threads here, at Audio Asyulum and at Aud... | |
