| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 I had Cullen mod my DCX. It was $900, but I was able to A/B test because they sent me a new unit. There is a definate improvement in soundstaging with modded DCX both width and depth are improved also there is better separation. Not by a whole lot... | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 TKmetz,Speak to Walter at underwood about the hiss. He can tell you how to turn the gain down to get rid of it if you want.My CS2's were dead quiet until I upgraded the behringer with Underwood. Then the hiss became noticable. Apparantly the stock... | |

| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 Before considering the CS2's, bear in mind that yoou need 4 channels of amplification so if you only have an integrated amp you would have to add in the cost of a pre amp and power amps. Also the add in the cost of XLR cables and possibly addition... | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? On your budget, if your looking for a phono stage to compete with the ones around 2K, you should consider the PS Audio GCPH. You can pick one up for around $700 (there's one going for $625). If you can get a Cullen Modified one, all the better. | |

| 10 Great Classical LP's This is a great question because it's not just the piece of music but also the composers rendition of it. I have multiple recordings of my favourite pieces because they all sound different and depending on what mood i'm in I may prefer on over ano... | |
| Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables Hi Smeyers,I hope it works out for you. Post back your impressions once you've burned them in. My system is fully wired with Transcendent and I have no compulsion to try something else. | |
| Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables I second the PS Audio Transcendent cables. Now that they are heavily discounted, it brings them easily into your price range. | |
| PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM I'm going to leave the lessloss on the crossover. After more listening today I can finally say I am listening to the music instead of looking for faults.Tvad, not everyone bought the cables at a discount and some who did went on to purchase more a... |
