Dedicated lines & outlet setup question
After much research, I ran 3 dedicated,10ga lines with 20 amp breakers on all and Teslaplex recepticles. Amp and pre in to one outlet, CD and anything digital into another outlet and TT and other front end stuff into the third outlet. Sound was fa... 
Who has dumped the power conditioner?
After I installed 3 dedicated, 10 ga lines to my equipment with Teslaplex outlets, the Shunyata Hydra power conditioner was no longer needed. Sounded better without it. I was gona put it up for sale on this site but decided to try it on my big scr... 
New Electrial Wiring..
I recently had an electrician run 3 dedicated, 10ga lines for my equipment. I used 20 amp breakers for all the lines and Teslaplex outlets also on all 3. (Read the reviews) Also you want to make sure that the breakers in your box are put in out of... 
MSRP policy-
I've been purchasing from the audiogon site for quite some time now and although most are honest and stand behind there product, I've run into a few snakes here and there. As in anything else, buyer must beware. 
Ortofon/Ear 834p
DownunderThe Windfield sounds really great. The old vinyl that I'm used to hearing is at a completely new level. I'm, still playing around with the VTA and VTF to get the best sound but it's miles above the Clearaudio woods that I have been using.... 
What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5?
Ultra linear but switching between triode and ultra linear..I don't hear any difference. Sound is great but I think I need to work on room accoustics more. Highly recommend Cary. I have no affiliation with them but whenever I call with a question ... 
What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5?
I am using a Cary SLP05 tube preamp and a Cary CAD120S Amp to power my Harbeth SHL5's and the wow factor is definately there!

How to open the cover of Cary 306-200 CD player
I just did this on my Cary 306 SACD and it was difficult. Through those holes on the bottom, use a #1 x 6" phillips head screw driver to unscrew the very tiny screws at the bottom of the case and then the top plate slides off. The hardest part is ... 
Ortofon/Ear 834p
The 834p has 68dB of gain and the Cary SLP 05 has 10dB of gain. The Cary is a great pre but a little lacking in the gain dept. Mark 
Ortofon/Ear 834p
Ortofon Windfield sounds excellent through the Ear 834p. Took me a long time to set up but once it was done, the wow factor was there. I use the Mint Tractor to dial it in and results were great. The only downside is that to get good sound it take... 
Ortofon/Ear 834p
Thanks for your responses guys. The only problem I am seeing with this match is that I can't dial in the impediance for best performance of this cart. Not sure what this might add if I could do that but it is a factor. What are your views? Thanks ... 
XM, DAC Question
Thanks Mofimadness. Now, I am able to pull up XM on my laptop and listen. Would that output from my laptop also be analog? Maybe more than one way to skin a cat here. 
XM, DAC Question
I just pulled out an old DBX111 that I used to use with my reel to reel. Hmmm, even if this is an analog signal. Might be interesting. 
XM, DAC Question
It's a Delphi SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver. It does say the stations are digital but maybe the receiver changes it to analog. The manual says that 130 "Digital" channels are available.
