Daisy chaining Line Conditioners
Hi, I have an Exact Power EP-15 & SP-15, Two Hydra 8s, Marigo Apparition and a Quantum Symphony One in the same system. They all do different things with the end result natural sounding. 
Classe CP-60 vs. CP-65
I have a Classe CP-65 and compared it to a friend's CP-60. I found them to be the same sound charactor with the CP-65 sounding slightly more refined and quieter. Nod goes to the CP-65 in my system. 
HELP Turning off the Left Brain
Hi Musicfirst, I have been an Audiophile more than 35 years, and yes I have experienced the same thing you have experienced for 25 of my 35 years in the hobby. Generally, we as Audiophiles hang with other Audiophiles, and what do we talk about, eq... 
Help choosing Power Conditioner
I would go with Exact Power EP-15 & SP-15 and later add on a Hydra. I have both Exact Power units and two Hydras, sounds stellar. I do not agree to wait on power conditioners, your equipment is designed to work on proper voltage and clean AC, ... 
Marigo Labs Signature 3-D stabilizer.
I have never used the Marigo Signature 3-D stabilizer, however; I am not surprised it works. I have used the Marigo Apparition parallel line filter and their tuning dots for years and abslutely loved the results. 
Esoteric DV-50, Marantz SA-11 or Arc CD3 MKII???
When SACD first came about I unfortunately purchased a Sony SCD-1 because of, I guess the great reviews. And yes listened to it, but not in my system. Got it home and was thoroughly disappointed with its detached sound and basically my redbook dig... 
USPS shipping prices ?
Anyone shipping UPS ground is just looking for trouble. Even if item is insured, their downtime paying the claim is shameful. I strictly use FedEx priority and never had a problem. 
Do you remember your first cd?
My first CD was JJ Cale, Grasshopper. Still listen to it. 
Dartzeel NHB-108 v Coda S5
Yes I have heard the current Coda and also heard the Dartzeel. The Coda did not need much tweaking in my system to sound good. The Dartzeel was the opposite, it needed more tweaking, however; once both amps are tweaked for a given system, it was m... 
Silly Question...does a transport have a "sound" ?
Hi back again, all here that own Acustic Arts D 1 CD transport, if possible should try the balanced digital output. It makes a huge difference. I went from SE Goldmund Lineal to Balanced Stereovox HDX2 and I'm on a total different level. 
Krell Resolution 1 or Vandy 3A sig
I have to go along with the Krell, whole different class. 
Reimyo DAP 777 - looking for a good transport
Vemeer, I had a CEC TL-1 for six years, feeding a Levinson dac. Very analogue sounding, maybe a little soft in the bass. Two months ago the CEC showed signs of needing a laser assembly, so I sold it A'gon with the warning it needs a laser. Replace...

Is SACD a dead format?
An alleged dead format as in vinyl, last year sold more than SACD and DVD-A combined. We as Audiophiles kill our own formats. When CD first came out they sounded like crap and most of the Audiophiles were dumping turntables for pennies on the doll...
