Any info on Reality Check CD Duplicator
Look in the digital forum, there is long thread now with much info called "How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck" 
Review: Grover Huffman Silver Ribbons Speaker cable
What price range are we talking here?Normally Grover's cables are priced very reasonably. 
PSB Stratus Mini's
Is that BK ST202 amp a mosfet design? That goes way back and testing my long term memory, but was very popular line of reasonably priced SS gear 10-15 years ago.If you want speaker with extended treble energy, fast detailed with great presence the... 
PSB Stratus Mini's
You never gave us a price range.....you will always find something better if you keep raising the budget higherI own 4 pairs of monitors currently, and still keep a pair of PSB Stratus Minis around. I find them to be very nuetral sounding with ver... 
Audio desk CD Sound Improver
For about the same price you should look at Reality Check CDR duplication deck, improved sound in CDR and preserves the original CD with no damage........read the large Reality Check thread in progress here.The "golden rule" of tweaking is never a...

Static electricity from finger can cause erratic playback for some CD players with metal buttons, took me long time to figure this out, here are some tips:-Remember to touch rack/shelf first and this will discharge most of the static. -If you have... 
whats your idea of loud music.
Using a Radio Shack sound level meter I feel average (not peak) DB levels over 90db from listening position are loud.Comfortable music listening levels average 80-85db for me.If listening levels need to be lower than 75-80db I switch to headphones.

Can you list your transport and other major pieces in your audio system?Also can you name a couple of the other Dacs you have used? 
I can't take anymore of those bad fotos Rant.
I definitely agree photos are very important for anything but but very cheap generic items......but not really necessary to invest in flood lamps or extra flash. Just use natural sunlight which is much better from well lit indoor area or take outs...

Sibelius Symphonies
Best complete set for me is Maazel/London, recorded in 1960's this is a young Maazel giving us a set for the ages with great sound that betters most new modern recordings.I own the critics darlings like Ashkenazy, Davis, Karajan, Berglund etc but ... 
Chailly Mahler 9th
Great sound yes if that is your priority, but performance too slow for my taste, same comments apply to new Tilson Thomas 9th, both clock in at almost 90 minutes! I much prefer the faster more dramatic 9ths by Ancerl, Kondrashin, or live Bernstein... 
Tyler Acoustics Speaker Stands
I have some custom made Tyler stands for Taylo Reference Monitors also, mine are made slightly lower height than stock and I removed rubber bumpers from stand and use three 7/16 brass capnuts (aka acorn nuts)under speakers, round capnut dome touch... 
There Ought To Be A Law, Or At Least A Rule
If it is true that company "a" does not answer phone or return e-mail that is a valid concern and should be taken into consideration about whether you buy company "a" products. I run small business and answer all phone calls during business hours ...
