http://conversation.i-op.com/topic/serv/...zOc=/html/intro Ya think Tektronix uses footers and mytrle wood blocks under it's stuff?

What kind of line cord do you think it has? Bet it's not aShunyayatatatatatata, and it may cost what a motor with a bearing costs to spin LP's...now think about what is in this piece of equipment, and a spinning platter with a motor!!!!

Hi
I'm in the market for a good DAC under 41000 and am leaning towards the Lite DAC-60 with basic mods by either pacific valve or gr-research.
Has anyone had a chance to audition this unit against either the Benchmark or the lavry?

I am new to high end audio. I want to slowly but together a high end system with the best bang for the buck. I also want the ability to stream from a laptop since this is the future. I want to start with a good set up for headphones since this will get me going for $2-3K and I can hopefully use this as a preamp and pick up some used monoblock amps and speakers later. I am currently thinking of a Benchmark DAC1 or Grace m902 or HeadRoom Desktop Balanced Amp.

Hello,

I have an opportunity to buy a 2nd hand Audio Research Reference One tube amp (with new tubes). It would replace my old & trusty Quad 34 but the Quad 909 would stay for a while. Anyone experience with this amp? Would the 2 work well together?

Which speakers are better out of the two? The JBL HLS410 or the JBL Control 1Xtreme? I currently have both of them and I' am trying to decide which one to sell on E-bay. I will need to sell one of them but I don't know which I should sell. I need to save money to get better speakers but in the mean while I need to get the most I can and I sure don't need two pairs of speakers so please tell me which speakers is the best out of the two so I can sell one. Both are in good condition and sound like new.

Here are some specs on the JBL Control 1Xtreme.
