Bel Canto Black EX Integrated vs. E1X Integrated
I’m very much wondering the same!  
Exogal Comet DAC
Wscdvm93,I totally agree regarding the power supply upgrade. In addition to adding more flesh to the low frequencies, I believe the upgraded PSU also further reduced the noise floor, adding even greater levels of "realism" to the music. 
Buzz coming from power amp - not through speakers
All transformers buzz and the changes you are hearing may be related to power line harmonics. HTH is correct about the windings vibrating not the core. If you own a smartphone, download a microphone app that records and displays the audible freque... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
I heard their room at the RMAF and do not believe DEQX is a game changer. My impression consists of a catch 22 scenario. Hotel rooms are difficult to achieve a decent sound. DEQX is suppose to correct room responses and fix this situation. The DEQ... 
Exogal Comet DAC

Speltz Anti-Cable VS VH Audio CHeLA spkr Cable
I agree Larryken, I have been quite happy with the speltz speaker cables. Have you tried their interconnects? I am hesitant to give them a try since they offer no EMI RFI shielding. Thoughts? 
Dynaudio contour 2.8, 3.0, 3.3
Hi Folks,I own a pair of the Contour S5.4 speakers and love them. They have been in my system longer than any other component since I caught this infectious disease known as "high end audio". All kidding aside, they are very neutral speakers, with... 
Croft precession 1 or Rogue Magnum 99 ?
I own a Rogue Magnum 99 and love it. I have very eclectic musical tastes and find the 99 sounds great regardless of musical genre. Everything from 80's to classic rock, to industrial and electronic sounds great through Rogue gear. Other music type... 
Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE
thanks Aronsss and Clio for taking the time to respond. Your input is much appreciated. 
Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE
Thanks for the response Clio. I may not have adequately conveyed my thoughts earlier. By cranking it up, I meant striving for somewhat realistic volume levels without loss of musicality. My equipment by no means gets driven hard, but I do take adv...
