XM, DAC Question
Mofimadness, Manual for the XM receiver says it is digital, am I missing something? I have before so wouldn't be unusual.

I have an all Cary system and after trying several cords, the Synergistic Research cords definately gave me that wow factor. Especially the Hologram D on my CDP. Mark 
Reel to Reel Restoration/Repair
I also purchased a vintage Teac reel to reel that needed extensive repair and updating. After a lot of research I found a guy in Alamogordo, NM that I believed really new his stuff and prices seemed right so I shipped my reel to him. Long story sh... 
Where's the bass?

MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question
I purchased a Bausch & Lomb head gear magnifier like the jewelers use and find it great for hands free, stylus set up with the mint tractor on my VPI. It scares the dog though!! I found it Googling magification on the web. 
Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go?
I upgraded to the Cary 306SACD with an on board DAC and the sound is incredible. Now going through an amp review. I've got the Cary S120 but I'm reviewing a pair of Seymour Ice Blocks 
Ice Block Amps
Neptunebchdawg, check out the ice blocks from Seymour AV. They sound great through my Cary tube Pre. He will let you audition for 30 days and if you don't like them, send them back. I was very surprised

dbx 3BX III and turntables . . . do you use it?
I just purchased a 3BX 111 and I use it in my Teac reel to reel tape loop. When doing vinyl to tape, it is unbelieveable. Not much into enhancers or expanders but this really adds a really great demention to the sound 
Drivin' me Crazy
I had the same thing happen between my pre and phono stage and went through all the possibilities for the fix. When I changed the interconnects, it went away.Food for thought
