Clive, pardon my ignorance, but would it not be advisable to use
balanced attenuators in this scenario? I only ask because I'm
contemplating the same setup and don't want to risk frying the monitors
on some off

I have a buddy with an Arcam A65 integrated amp, and a modified Thorens
TD-145 turntable.
I can get him a deal on either a pair of BW CM1s, or Paradigm Studio
20s (v4). I'm not overly familiar with Arcam, but have heard both pairs
of speakers and like them both for different reasons.

It would be technically impossible, because the Transporter has high

I find the SB3 to be somewhat sweet, with cinamonny overtones, ending
with a subtle, chocolatey finish. Complements fish and spicy Thai

Probably not, but if you changed the mains supply cord that would make
a dramatic improvement (after the cord had been burnt-in for 200 hours

A CD is 16-bit, 44.1 kHz. While some software will let you convert
this to 24-bit, 96 kHz, it won't do anything - you can't add
information that isn't there. You'll get a 24/96 file but it won't be
any different than its 16/44.1 source.
There was some experimentation with 24-bit, 44.1 kHz as

I'm not Mark, but the concept of upsampling DACs is to let them
