Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love?
La45, I will let you know my impressions once I get this unit and put some hours on it.Brawny, I`ll take my chance with a company that has multiple rave reviews on numerous components by a variety of reviewers and current owners based on it`sonics... 
Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love?

Any DACs have the Sabre 32bit D/A Converter ??
Mr TennisDo you find the PWT the better of the PS Audio perfect wave duo? some seem to like the transport more than the DAC. 
PS Audio PPP vs. Velocitor vs. BPT 3.5
Hello,Danyal I have owned the BPT Signature Plus 3.5 for 14 months and it is wonderful. It has elevated the performance of my system across the board. The sound floor is lower as promised with a very noticable improvement in low level detail,ambie...

Single Ended-Parallel or PP Class A Tube Amp?
i agree with paul, the impedence curve of your speakers and the quaility of the amps power supply and it`s transformers matter more than a strict power requirement. Twenty quality watts should be fine and provide good bass for acoustic jazz. a goo... 
Recommend 300b tubes for Frankenstein Amps
AbillI have about 500 hours on my Shuguang Treasure Series(Black glass) tubes. They sound wonderful and have been reliable.I got them from Grant Audio for 600.00 per pair, not cheap but I have no complaints. The Frankenstein MK2 amps are top tier ... 
Up sample or non upsampling which is superior

SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here
Greai sound, the Trenner-Friefl RA Box speaker with Viva amplifiers. Just superb natural,dynamic and real live music reproduction(however a very plain jane square box appearance). The Revolver Cygnis was nearly as good sounding but cheaper and mor...

Solid Silver rca's for tube amps
I use the PS Audio Transcendent silver solid core I.C. and Slinky Links silver speaker cable with my Coincident tube amp and linestage. The sound is exceptionally open,transparent and with a slight overall warmth and full texured tonality. 
Where do you buy good CD recordings?
HiAnother vote for Amazon music.com very good selection of most types of music, reviews, the ability to sample on site and very reasonable pricing new or used.

Sounds better at home
GrimaceI know what you mean. A few weeks ago a friend and I went to a local jazz club in Detroit, the legendary Baker`s Keyboard Lounge. This club has excellent sound but for what ever reason they decided to use a speaker system to boost the bass ... 
Which matters more, DAC or transport?
Based on my own experience both obviously matter but I would say transport 70% and the DAC 30%. There is nothing a DAC can do to compensate a poor performing transport. It all depends on a superior signal.
