Yes, the etymotics are worth it. Keep in mind that they have to be seated in your ears correctly and some don't like the way they fit. Walt Mossberg recently did a review for the WSJ that included a re-badged version of the cheaper ($120) etymotics (which I haven't heard but are similar to the...

Just to throw a few things into the mix. I have switched almost my entire system over to Canare. I buy it premade in a rainbow of pretty colors from Markertek ($25 a 3 foot pair - lifetime warranty with Canare F10 RCAs). I've reviewed the Canare lit they sent me and I am very pleased with the...

I've been using a McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe Edition for the past several years and have been very satisfied with them powering ML Aerius i's. -CB

I just spoke with a woman at the Outlaws today and cancelled my order for the 950/755. The double bass issue just pushed me over the edge and I've reversed course on this product/company. I had high hopes for this product back in the late fall but as details have now become known it turns out it...

Well that's great John. You should enjoy your 950! I've decided to cancel my 950/755 order first thing Monday. That should help alot of people since I am pretty sure my order would have shipped next week. My priorities have always been on maximum fidelity and do no harm to the signal. I...

For those interested, I have found a little more info on the MAP-1: Infused with new energy, funds, and direction following its acquisition by conrad-johnson, McCormack Audio will extend founder Steve McCormack's high-value audiophile solid-state designs to surround processing with its upcoming...

Bruce, I'm happy to have an friend here on this topic. A lot of responses I have gotten are along the lines "what's the big deal" or "just press x, y and z buttons everytime you listen to a cd". I had hoped that in the year 2002 HT and Music systems could coexist. The only product I had found...

I've been engaged in a long running discussion on the so called direct/stereo/bypass mode that seems to always send output via the sub output over on the Outlaw forum. I have asked repeatedly for an Outlaw representative to thoroughly explain how and more importantly why this works this way(e.g...

As the Outlaws update the manual, it would be nice if they could provide a date or notice on their website to alert people to this fact. Then we'll all know when to download and printout a revised copy. Also, for those doing printouts, you might want to try the program Fineprint which can...

I've been interested in HDCD for a while and have a MF X-DAC that I use (currently tinkering with my own mods). I'm just a hobbiest, not an expert. My understanding is that the HDCD part takes place in the digital filter part which in the case of the X-DAC is a Pacific Micronics PMD-100. I...

Sorry, I guess I did get confused with all the posts going back and forth. Anyway, I think my solution of running a chasis ground to your electrical outlet ground is worth a try. That is after all the root of your ground in your entire house ground system. It could result in a ground loop but...

I haven't studied your problem in detail but I conjecture the problem could be different ground potentials between your sat dish feed and the rest of the system. I had a problem with this and it was suggested I connect a wire from the chasis of the sat receiver to the ground screw (middle...

I just received the April 2002 Stereophile and Sam Tellig has an extensive review discussion of the new Musical Fidelity A3-24 DAC. He discusses the MF's implementation of the Crystal CS8420 Sample-rate Converter chip. Apparently this chip among other things upsamples and according to Sam...
