power cords for Atma-sphere amplifiers?
I'm also happy with the TG audio SLVR on my MA-1 Mklll amps. Smotyka, glad to hear of your major improvement via dedicated lines as a dealer told me they love a dedicated line -- my next upgrade. 
Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions?
Slowhand, you're right the AMR isn't better, but close enough that now my listening will probably be equally divided. Before it was at least 75% analog. 
Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions?
I just took delivery of the CD-77 last night - a demo from RMAF, but not fully broke in. Karel really nailed it on the character of this machine and it's hard to believe futher improvements are in store with more hours. At CES last Jan. I spent fo... 
Has Anyone Heard the AMR CD-77 CD Player?
I completely agree with slowhand's opinion of this player. I was initially struck by its good looks, build quality, USB port feature and very good sound given a difficult room at CES '07. This past Saturday I had the opportunity to listen to a ful...

Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?

Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
I heard the AMR CD-77 at CES and liked it a lot -- four days of comparative listening convinced me it's competitive with the best out there. Jaybo, before you rush to judge AMR as Chinese stuff you should read Srajan Ebaen's pre-review.http://www.... 
Bob Crump passes away over holiday.
I first got to know Bob a few years ago, as we spoke on the phone after I purchased a Blowtorch from an original owner --- he called me to find out about the new owner of one of his babies. Since then we enjoyed time together at CES shows and Ribf...

A question for JC-1 owners...
I use and would highly recommend the TG Audio SLVR power cord as Bob Crump not only makes the cord, but selected all parts and voiced the final JC-1 prototype before production so you will get great synergy. The benfits of the SLVR are not subtle ... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Entec Number Cruncher v3.0 with G&D UTP-1 transport--modified by TG Audio and voiced using Rockport turntable as reference. 
SoundLab A-1 vs Martin Logan CLS IIz's
I had the same ML speakers with two RH labs subs for several years and also found a good deal on the Sound Labs A1. I can assure you that you will never regret this move, as the SL does everything so much better and you won't even think about thos...
