New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
So far I have my Lamp 4 hooked up with a cheap 6 ft Blue Jeans digital cable that I got for under $20. Sounds great even with it. Any suggestions for RCA coax for $200 or less that would improve on the Blue Jeans cable. Also trying a few 6x5 recti... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I have Agear's old Dude running through a KR Audio Kronzilla SXI. Speakers are Duke LeJeune's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. I feel like I'm at a good point right now with the addition of the Lamp. Next step is to get a Mac Mini and a computer set up,... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I just received my Level 4 a few weeks ago. It really is exceptional. Musical is the best way to describe it. I have made a series changes to my system since the spring including a TRL Dude preamp and then getting everything on Sistrum stands. Eac... 
Modwright Oppo 105
I'm really curious about the Modwright modded 105 as a replacement for my Ayon CD-1.Seems like there is potential to match (or exceed?) the Ayon's performance plus the added benefits of BluRay and high-res audio capability using the Oppo's DAC. I ... 
Ayon CD 1 acting up
THanks, I'll give USA Tube Audio a call, they have always been helpful in the past. Another problem that has occurred very occasionally is that the player will kind of lock up when starting a CD by hitting play. That is the track number comes on, ... 
Budget-Friendly Interconnects?
I see you have Clear Day Double Shotguns (which I just got last week). Why not consider Clear Day ICs. They are under $200 I believe. I have a pair and they sound quite good. 
Shindo/Kronzilla combo for vinyl
Any advice on a Shindo verus other preamps with phono stage to pair with the Kronzilla? 
Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them?
Any opinions on In Living Stereo? I went there once on a visit to NYC and they were relatively pleasant, set up a Shindo system for me to listen to and were laid back about it. 
Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions?
Hi, Jeff, glad Playhouse Audio still carries Devore. I talked to the owner and he seemed like a good guy. He also runs a great concert venue in Atlanta although I forget the name. 
Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions?
rgbyhkr, I talked to the owner of Playhouse Audio in Atlanta a few years ago about Devore speakers which he carried at the time. I never made the trip because I was living in NC at the time and I don't know if he still carries them, but look him u... 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
I have to second Ralph's recommendation of Audiokinesis speakers. I have the Jazz Modules and am very happy. 
Best speakers for tube amp looking for suggestions
I agree with Ralph about Audiokinesis. I have the Jazz Modules. They are very tube friendly and I've found that they keep revealing their potential as you improve things upstream. I recently have made two improvement in my system, adding the Gabri... 
cabling suggestions with Ayon
I also have been running the Gabriel Gold Raptures between my CD-1 and integrated amp with excellent results. 
Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ??
A question for all you Synergistic fans. I just got a Powercell 6 with the Synergistic T3 UHC going to the wall, which I really enjoy. I am currently using non-Synergistic powercords (VH Audio Airsine and Flavor 4) hooked up to my integrated amp a... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I bought a pair of Rapture IC's from Glory and all I can say is "sweet mother of god" these things have transformed my system. Everything from lower tighter bass to delicate highs. For example, cymbals are remarkably realistic. I'm hearing things ...
