Enough is Enough


I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.

Perhaps consider approaching an established YouTube reviewer for feedback on your system.

I have access via Patreon (£30 subscription) to the British Audiophile who has provided excellent feedback and suggestions to improve my system synergy.

Of course there are many YouTube reviewers who offer this service, John Darko, Ron at New Record Day, Cheapaudioman etc.

Enjoy the music!

From my own personal opinion, I’m afraid I can’t agree with your statement.

Of course I respect your stance and you are entitled to it, however slowly slowly catchy monkey, research is key and of course in the end, it’s all down to your own lug ‘oles…

I’ve just had a look at your system (I wasn’t aware this was possible on Audigon!)

What would you say your Chord Electronics Dave dac is lacking..?
