| Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods? It should be here in a few days. If it is working well in my system, then I will give Steve a call and see what he says, or check out the Prima DAC. Why not wait, live with it for a few month. You might like it so much that no upgrade is necessary... | |

| Linn Kolector or Wokonda preamp? I directly compared the Kolektor and Wakonda over 2 weeks a few years ago. The Wakonda is better balanced, the highs are less grainy and smoother sounding. The Kolektor is more forward sounding overall with a little more drive. Overall I would say... | |
| help Terry Cain I was quite shocked to hear about Terry - I was still talking to him several times over the last year after he still finished a pair of Abbys for me last summer. I noticed his missing posts on Asylum over the last few months, but did not hear this... | |
