Hi Jeff- I’ll address the CJ preamp first- yes, it was ‘syrupy’. Glad to hear CJ has moved to neutrality. The Auralic, for me, is a game changer. First, it’s definitely a sleeke...

Thanks! My system has at its core remained the same now going on 7 years as I hit on a winning formula. It provides constant enjoyment. And it’s so rewarding to be off the circuit of looking for ot...

Hi Jeff- so as a result of your question - digital vs analog, I played an LP I have which I also have as a high resolution download. The LP was warmer, wider soundstage and it digs deeper into the ...

Hi pdreher- thanks very much. It's a mix of gear made in the 70's, 90's, 00's and 10's that happen to work very well together. If you throw in my Zerostat, the 80's are represented too.

Hi Iceman-  the rack in the middle is a Sound Organization stand. From England, and I bought it close to 30 years ago. These stands we ubiquitous at Linn dealers decades ago. Th...

Hi Jeff- the Bricasti is the 2nd DAC I’ve owned. I used to have a Wyred4sound DAC. A friend had a Bricasti, and after hearing it decided I wanted the Bricasti. Really didn’t listen to anything else...
