Voraratc: did you ever try the replacement fuses suggested by Rtn1 in the Karan? If so, did it make a large difference? Also, you mention the Esoteric benefits from grounding, something I know to b...

You must be very happy with the sound of this system! I used 2 generations of Shunyata cables extensively over a multi-year period and was very happy with them. As of the last year I moved to Audie...

That's a hell of a start...what are you using for cabling, power, etc...? What mods do you have in the Wadia and what will you have done to the pre-amp?

Glad to see your system made it intact....have you tried moving the speakers back towards the corners by about 1/2 the distance (guessing based upon picture).

That's a great looking system; I'm an Edge NL fan for amps myself but have heard the Karan amps spoken of with similar fanaticism by several friends. What else did you listen to in order to arrive ...

Thank you very much! If you want those decoding options then the SSP-800 is the way to go. I believe I just saw a write-up in TAS in which all the SSP-800's attributes were covered in very good det...
