| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound SF: What do you do to disturb cables, other than hooking them up the opposite way? | |
| Help choosing digital front end. Sam: Have you tried the Bel Canto or another DAC with the X-Ray? If so would you suggest it for a transport? You know that I like the X gear, but I have not gone with the X-Ray because of its stand alone sound (I like a warmer sound). If a DAC cha... | |

| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No Money: I forgot one thing. I tried a borrowed set (3) of Black Diamond cones and did not like the sound on the CAl. It made the sound kind of brittle and out of balance (quite an achievment on the stock CAL). I mentioned it to a dealer and he a... | |
| Crown Amplifier for Advent 300 Classic: You may want to check out Hawthornestereo.com. They are in Washington or Oregon and have tons of used vintage gear that they sell with a 30 day warrenty/return policy. If you call them they have a lot more stuff than is on the website. I ... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade Gary: I believe you that there is no "glare" in your setup. Your preamp (my favorite to date by the way) has a lot to do with it. I listened to the boss upgrade through the Plinius Integrated and the CL-15 through some Rotel seperates contraption ... | |
| DSP Devices for Room/Speaker Correction Jayboard: It was just one of those thoughts not unlike the ones that we all have when we are about to fall asleep, which is when it came to me. We probably don't need to carry it any further. The DSC devices do sound very interesting if they are a... | |
