Upgrading phono stage
Thank you @mulveling I have been waiting for someone I trust to review a Trumpet MC for a while now. I would like to try a tube phono stage at some point just for fun but can not justify shelling out big money on a Herron or Zesto just to match i...

Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday!
+1 todd1010, Cork or cork board(if you can find it) - granite tile -1/4" to 1/2" layer closed cell polyethylene foam - granite tile, this makes a excellent layered sandwich base for wood floors.  
DAC upgrade suggestion
I to went thru a Audio Science Review phase and started questioning the sound and build quality of my Audio-gd pcm 1704 DAC. I thought there must be something wrong with my ears how could I prefer the sound of this DAC when ASR clearly shows that ... 
Canare 4S11
Correction, I use two runs of 4S11 on each amp post utilizing both spade and banana input for each post in a 11 gauge form to take advantage of Star Quad geometry for EMI rejection. Shotgun biwire but there is four runs of cable to each 4S11 so ... 
Canare 4S11
@mofimadness  +1Your posts, years ago, helped shape my decision to use the 4S11 and I have never looked back. I use a double barrel shotgun configuration and the cables have been put thru cryo process. 
Canare 4S11
@stereo5  "At initial turn on, the sound was very bassy, highs weren't that pronounced."The bass of 4S11 will taper off during break in, almost to the point of where the cable begins sounding a little to thin. At this point the 4S11 without a ove... 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
Interesting that the conversation has turned to Global feedback vs Non-feedback design, or simply we hear and like the audio waves that our own ears can interpolate not necessarily better specs in test measurements.Distortion, distortion and disto...

Electromagnetic radiation. Radio Frequency Interference from Wi Fi devices, laptop, game console or cell phone can effect sound quality especially the top end of a audio signal.Cell towers seem to be popping up everywhere or a new FM/AM station th...

Thank you for your insight geoffkait, If you would like to start your own thread regarding these topics I would be interested.  If you do, start a thread, and I am not posting please PM me so I can join in... I never said mass vibrates, you have. ... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Yes, I am in dual use mode for my system, all output from 103 exits thru analog output jacks. Using the 103 for D/A conversion makes sense for my system and I like the way it sounds... This has also given me opportunity to compare 103 in two chann...

@geoffkait , thank you once again for taking a interest in what I have to say. Matter is made of particles and particles are a vibration of a field, caries mass, and takes up space. Energy is the capacity to cause change and carries no mass and ha...
