Best airy and smooth Power cord for trans & dac
I am a fan of the Elrod Sig 3 but no the Sig 2. I use the 3 mainly on power amps. I was not impressed with the Sig 2 on my CDP or preamp and currently use a Foundation Research L-1 power cord there.The Elrods are pretty natural, with very good bal... 
Please Help with DAC...
It all depends on the DAC. Better or differnt what you will hear. Again, you will need a good digital cable ($150 for say an Audience or Acoustic Zen MC-2 used) and these are good cables for the money. Better cables cost more! IMO the digital cabl... 
Interconnect test
Acoustic Zen Sil Ref ICs have a very balanced high, low & mid frequencies, the Audeince will have a sweeter mid but the AZ will offer better frequency extremes in my experience. Both are excellent ICs.Happy Listening. 
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
Audiobugged,What about Jimi Hendrix records spun at 45 RPM and played backwards? Groovy man! This is Jimi takin' to ya!Happy Listening. 
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
I need some help guys. I purchased a GE bulb, 100 watts mono version, white powder coated with silver coated base. It has worked flawlessly for about one week. Now when I turn on the power from my Krell light stand, model KSA-1000, the bulb now bl... 
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
You guys have it all wrong, a simple silver coating will enhance the output of a el cheapo light bulb that competes for one tenth the cost of all of the above higher priced models and make things so bright! Special applicator provided of course an...

Digital or RCA?
That depends on my Audio Logic DAC the RCA inputs are more emotional sounding versus the balanced inputs which are more detailed a clearer sounding but I prefer the RCA to the balanced inputs. others will say the opposite here.Happy Listening. 
Alon/Nola drivers
The price of replacement speakers are very expensive from Nola. You can try Madisound and he probably can find excellent drivers that will work close to the custom ones.Happy Listening. 
Sauvignon Linestage Preamp or Joule Electra LA150
The current JE LA-150 is not a sweet sounding tubish preamp, where the SS will offer more of that type of sound.Happy Listening. 
Expert Glare Tamer Required And More Depth Please
Address your AC first, that will give you a blacker, quieter background so you can judge component and cable changes better. It may aslo solve your problem. It really works.Happy Listening. 
Is Preamp overkill for me?
Try the Sonic Euphoria that the dealer offers here on Agon, I think with a trial period too. It was sweeter then the Placette audio passiver preamp with better bass. With a passive you have to make sure it mates well with your amp. The SE was a re... 
Talon Raven C Speaker Cable recommendations please
Try DIY copper wire from Home Depot. I used 6awg multi- strand wire and twisted the pos & neg around each other say 10" and termiinated them with decent spades. The soundt was close to the Acoustic Zen Holograms I compared them to for $.19 cen... 
Glass Fiber AT&T ST or AES/EBU XLR ?
Each system is different My Audio Logic DAC sounds sweeter with RCA digital cables then the XLR ones but there is s slight decrease in detail So try them for yourselfHappy Listeing 
Need some advise on DAC's please....
I have not heard the DACs you have mentioned but good alternatives are the Audio Logic which uses tubes and the Chord 64 which is SS. I thought that both represent the best value in their price ranges.Happy Listening.
