power conditioner for cd transport and dac?
I think it is recommended by at least some experts to use separate power conditioners for digital and analogue to keep the digital noise out of the analogue power source. It is even recommended by some to use separate circuits for analogue and dig... 
New CDP or new DAC?
DAC with coax. 
Help me resurrect my AR-90s
Some 90's had larger dustcaps. It is apparent from your pic that the driver had a large dustcap over a smaller one. You will have to replace the dustcap(s)--after you have removed both of them so that you can shim the voicecoil--with the larger al...

For some mysterious reason the link didn't work. But I found it. Thanks.

need cable advice, MBL + Bryston + ARC system
I have signalcable and Frank is great. I have Morrow cable and even the introductory line is great and very affordable. I'm running anticables by Paul Speltz speaker cable currently and they are really great and dirt cheap. Paul is very accessible.

Thanks. Sorry. Forgot to designate the orchestrated version, although I'm not averse to the piano version.

Eric Kunzel's Roundup on Telarc has twelve real gunshots in succession. Enjoy.

Anything worthwhile in audio gets technical. If you don't have the background, you need to try to grow into it.

Marakanetz has the "long term solution". Do I not buy the $3000 Paradigm towers I've been salivating over because they might not sound good in the room? No--to use a double negative. The room is more or less acousticly friendly to sound which come...

I always thought separates (power amp & pre) were the way to go and went through agony trying to get a good match, although integrateds always appealed to me as well if one could live with a passive linestage because the issue of matching pre ... 
Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?
The most expensive cable I've used is Nordost Red Dawn so I can't speak with any authority. I recently bought Anti-Cables by Paul Speltz speaker cables and am really happy with them. They are very affordable as in dirt cheap. There is a 30-day tri...

The link Dingus left works for me also by simply clicking. The forum talks about bypassing the level controls on the 9 and 90. Dingus, have you ever done that? I'd like to but was told that that board was part of the crossover and that it couldn't... 
Help me resurrect my AR-90s
The "cones" look fine in your pics. Refoaming would be no problem. The dented dustcap is replaced--all the dustcaps are normally replaced with refoaming. You want to avoid reconing if possible. You would only need that repair if the voice coil was... 
Help me resurrect my AR-90s
I have a pair of 90's and replaced the surrounds with a kit that I got from vintageAR. Larry Lilgace is the owner and an expert on vintage ar speakers. He is good to work with. You can probably find surrounds cheaper but I was assured that by gett...
