Mike replied to a thread MSB Upgrade - New Reference or Used Select II in Computer/Digital Audio

That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

For all of the COTA/Austin comments, I went earlier this year and it was great. Pleasant city to visit and good venue. This year it was miserably hot on Friday (96 or so) and even worse on Saturday due to the humidity (93, but felt much worse),...

Great read. Now I have to go look at G-Shocks. Where's the best place to get an overview and who do you use for a retailer? I bought my last G-Shock off of amazon. Thanks for the informative post.

Reminds me of the fuses we tried. One even costing $1500. The folks who were blindfolded could not tell any difference with any of the fuses. I guess if you find a fuse that messes with the sound, that could change things. But is it better? ...

Wishful thinking, but no. It surely doesn’t. The K-03XD is superior. Their pricing I think is brilliant. Budgets are pretty much in that $10k, $15k, $20k range and above and although those aren’t the exact numbers, they are close enough. I...
