Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, I feel the same way as I have about 350 hours on my Altair's. The most painful breakin process is always speakers and then phono cartridge. Its really hard to listen and enjoy in the above ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

Babybear's SystemArnie my mouth salivates looking at your MSB stack. I think this may be the best sounding digital out there at this time. Can you play SACD's with your transport direct to the dac. I have quite a f... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
