| DAC or CD Player. Help! Worse than the AC cable snake oil is without doubt the cable risers. Spend major bucks on foo-foo cable jackets and 'flex' mesh pixie powder that they slip over the three-layer cable jacket only to determine that if the cable lays on the floor the... | |
| Epos K-1 Bumping an old thread. I'd sink any Epos dollars into a pair of Elan if you can find them. I know the K series is the future thing with Epos -- even though I think the active component of this equation is a total market miscalculation -- however, ... | |

| DAC or CD Player. Help! Forgot the question :) .. if the transport isn't shite (most middling+ CD players) then I'd say the DAC. Rarely, if ever, the cables. On both the desktop and main system I use Cambridge players, and both run the signal to a DAC. A NAD 1050 and Arc... | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! Synergy is about the most useless audio platitude I can imagine. I'm not trying to be rude, seriously, but it's so absolutely objective as to be absurd. It's like saying "get the best white base you can" when buying paint. | |
| Subwoofer I don't think a decent subwoofer is ever too slow. Perhaps what people are hearing is a maladjustment (x-over or sub volume set too high) or simply improper sub placement. I won't even run my desktop system without a sub because even though I paid... | |
| Exposure vs Exposure After a year of a 2010s2 integrated I bought a 3010s2 preamp and a Dual Regulated 4 (100% original). As highly as I think of the 2010s2, and I do, the new combo easily bests it by every metric. | |
| rega brio-r vs exposure 2012s2 I own both. I recently replaced a Creek EVO with a Rega Brio-R that I bought here for use as a desktop amp. The Exposure 2012s2 is my primary amplifier, and I've owned it for going on a year. There is not much comparison between the two amps. I e... |
