Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?
Guys (and gals) I do also believe that there are some sonic differences in cables. For a few years I have been using silver interconnects in my system. They offered plenty of detail and a silky midrange, but at the expense of the lower midrange. T... 
Upgrading from Rega P5 TT
I love my P5, the music it makes is very satisfying to my ears, and thus I see no reason to change. I started with the basic P5, and moded my Benz Micro Glider with their ruby cantilever and highest diamond stylus upgrade. That brought the sound s... 
Schiit Gungnir DAC - anyone have one of these?
I just installed the Gungnir. After reading the various forums I narrower my search to the Eastern Electric Minimax Plus, the Teac UD-501, the PS Audio NuWave and of course the Gungnir. They all seem to have strengths and weaknesses, and are well ...

Well, Hi_hifi, it has been almost two and a half years since I posted on this thread, and I for one, would be curious to know which way did you go? 300b or 45's. If you read this please send a response.By the way, I still have my Jeff Korneff 45SE... 
Review of Stock Sony 5400 ES CD/SACD and VSE Mod
I know I'm coming a bit late to the thread. I recently (end of September/11) spoke with Bill Thalman at his Music Technology shop in Springfield, VA, and he will charge $US 300 for the work to install the Balanced Audio Module and the Terra Firma ...

Zu Soul Superfly
I wonder if had your friend heard the regular Soul as well at the party, whether he would have still spent the extra $$ on the SF or would the Soul have been more than enough.(although on second thought I think I know the answer to that. Most audi... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Can anyone out there quantify the sonic differences between the Superfly and the regular Soul (I would prefer the opinion of someone that heard them both using the same electronics side by side). Are the sonic improvements proportional to the pric... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
By now I suspect that you've made your decision to go w/the 300b or the 45's.In general, what I have read in many forums and by talking to very knowledgeable people, 45s are the holy grail of the SET's.I spent most of my audio life in SSland, unti... 
Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers
I just installed the AN Super 8 Cast Frames in a pair of BLHs of Nagaoka design built by Johnk, which had a pair of Fostex fe206 Es-r's originally. Price was a consideration since the ANs are about half the cost of the 208 Sigma's I'd have to inst... 
Designer Hall of Fame
The Klipschorns and the Allison One are reason enough to get these two gents into the hall of fame. 
What's best low cost 845?
I own a Dared 845 for almost 2 years now. I replaced the stock 845 tubes with the Shuguang 845M's. It gives the amp more definition and transparency at a modest cost (about $250 for the pair.)I'm driving 98db Fostex 8" single driver based speakers... 
Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge
Funny that you mention that Ferrari, because that's one of my next purchases. In addition, in spite of Rega's belief, I do believe in clamps, and have order the JA Michell clamp for Rega for my P5.As indicated in my previous thread, I just purchas... 
Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge
Great review of the Denon DL-160, which rings true in every respect.I am a fastidious listener, in that I'm not only interested in musicality, but also loves to pinpoint where the instruments are within the stage, listens attentively for notes dec...
