Best tube preamp ever
Semi, I was seriously considering an Einstein MKII when in the market for a preamp. Do you roll tubes with your Einstein? It uses tons of tubes so just curious. I think Sovtek is stock? 
loose IEC power cord connection?
I move the components to a lower shelve on my racks so it doesn't hang as much and fall out. 
What is the best transport?
01-27-12: BranislavI wonder what the advantages of PS Audio PWT transport is compared to just saving your cds in your computer...Branislav (Threads | Answers | This Thread)I think the advantage is with PWT, data is stored in SS memory so it avoids...

Anyone using computer based system, BACK UP your music. Several years ago my external USB drive died and thank GOD it was backed up. 
What is the best transport?
I`m sure computer audio based systems can sound excellent,at this stage many CD users just are`nt 'compelled' to change just yet.I `m certain at some point in the future many will make that transition but there`s no great sense of urgency. Charles... 
What is the best transport?
I've been using a computer based system since 2007 and from my experience, it has fully arrived. All music ripped to a laptop running SB server talking via wireless network to MW Transporter and using my iPhone to control tbe player.Also with comp... 
Tellarium Ultra Black VS Supra Sword IXLR
Had Supra Sword XLR IC and it was ok. At the time, I much much prefer Zu Varial MK3 and Cardas GR. 
Changes to Shunyata's power cord line up?
How much is the Zi-Tron Python and King Cobra PC retail? 
Network VS.....
It depends on your system and no definitive answer. When I was using Krell amps, I find MIT ICs and SC worked best. In my current system, I find them rolled off in the highs, artificial sounding and missing some frequency ranges. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
Wig, I don't have a MW Sony but MW Transporter. Fuse is not easily accessible and forgot the direction. In my VAC Sig MKIIa preamp, facing the fuse holder, I prefer the right to left direction.The difference and improvements were so dramatic, I re... 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
Wig, I also find your results exact opposite with the CV181.Compare to the Sophia, Sophia is harder, edgier in a negative way, less musical and airy. Imaging and soundstaging similar.As far as fuses, I'm using all HiFi Tuning. Keeping everything c... 
TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade
Paul answers his phone and will always get back right away and help. I must say this is not true of all small "one man" companies. I have still not heard back from Roger at Music Reference and I emailed/called to actually buy his amps - RM10.I dec... 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
I have a MW Transporter and I think the analog section is probably very similar to the Oppo and Sony. I found Elrod Statement II the best PC on the Transporter ... also the Lamp. Improvements are NOT aubtle.

Rfogel8, if you like the Tung-Sol RP, I think you will like the Black Treasure.In my next tube order, I'll try some of your suggestions. 
Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000
Be careful purchasing very very old speakers. I sold my 901s, Hafler amp and pre to a non-audiophile friend ... practically gave it to him. He loves them and after a year or so, the drivers started to fall apart probably due to age. He contacted B...
