New Zu Mission cable
Ok, 5 years later and here we are still seeing missions, libtecs, events and wyldes. Looks like Zu settled in a bit and even left the website alone for a while i think.I am thrilled with the company because i as a low income earner have had the op... 
Proton 550 Intergrated Amp
Absolutely. So how did it all come out.Did you find a competent tech? Great amps.  
Review: Cambridge Audio 640a Integrated Amplifier
Yes. I concur with nearly everything mentioned above. An extremely nice sounding amp if not a bit different. I think it is similar to NAD in tonality, but there are differences. I never seem to get great imaging with all the NAD amps that ive used... 
any laptop has spdif output?
My gateway xps laptop has a shared analog/optical output that rocks my world. What an amazing idea. I hear no jitter but it could be there. What would be the proper instrument for measuring and detecting jitter? 
Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds?
I would say don't put anything on foam. Rubber however can dry out and crack due to environment and age. I see nothing wrong with treating rubber surrounds with something that will protect, lubricate and repel moisture and dirt. Sounds like this 3... 
Tuners that do it?

Integrated Amp Jumpers
Nice post guys. I just gto done cleaning up an old NAD 3020 that may never have been opened. After cleaning it up and replacing the jumpers I am confident these types of signal/continuity changes do make cumulative improvements. I came across some... 
Opinions of Lexicon RT-20 for Audio Only
Well. I agree. Not much owner reviews going on. I have here an RT-10 and I think it sounds great on redbook using analog outs of which there are two. This may be a Marantz design, but I got a great deal so I'm thrilled. I think it bests any NAD pl... 
Digital vs Analog output on CD players
I agree that it does come down to personal preference. It takes work to test these things. Same levels (measured) ,same interconnects, same associated equipment, same ambient noise,same exact location, same feet, same warmup period,same mindset..T... 
Two prongs power cable
My issue has been not a three prong male end as the outlets are all three prong but some nad and cd players used a two prong iec outlet on the unit itself. Some three hole iec female end cords will not fit.ie zu birth.I asked zu audio and they had...
