Phil,
Although in theory the SB3 should sound the same (or better) than my
Monarchy as a transport, to my ears it doesn't.
I have tested this to death. The more I listen, the more I hear the
Monarchy is better. For example, during the bridge of Learning to Fly
by Pink Floyd, the detailed sound

If I may weigh in with my experiences on Linux and cdparanoia.
As I understand it a lot of the best rippers on Mac and PC are based
ultimately on what was cdparanoia.
The ripper I use is kaudiocreator which in turns uses cdparanoia. Using
this very popular ripping engine I get identical rips on

Trying to locate a dealer that carrys the full line of lovan stands in

According to http://www.lovanusa.com/dealers.php
We currently do not have Lovan distributors in Canada. However you can

and Canada.

Yes, but then you might end up with not very good response in and below
the crossover region -- if DRC's target stops at 75Hz, anything below
this (by the sub) won't be very well corrected. DRC works best at low

Darren,
If you're willing to form your own conclusions, you might consider
putting your source components on an inexpensive diy powerconditioner.

Don't know if it's similar but it has a choke and capacitors. Let me
know your opinion by all means. I haven't spent any more on power
conditioning,
Darren,
Sorry, the Krell threw me off, and I assumed you were Stateside. From
the enlarged picture of your conditioner, its using a common mode

I got my DA-10 from Vintage King Audio in Detroit. I don't think they
had a restocking fee, but that was six months ago and I couldn't state
