JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Perhaps we can stop the juvenile behaviour of calling racism on any criticism of Chinese companies that steal technologies, designs or brand names.  Perhaps the poster who wants a $3500 handbag for $100 would understand the concept of theft if his... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
What is needed is truth.  Many Chinese factories make knock offs using designs that they have illegally copied(or stolen to be more specific) and then flood the market with them.  They have often times used cheaper parts and such, and the results ... 
Bit Disappointed in NAD
That’s outstanding customer service, I’m really surprised.  I was wrong about Nad, that’s a great offer they’ve made to you.Generally speaking they do make reliable products.  I’ve had integrated amps from their previous generation, and still own ... 
Bit Disappointed in NAD
Oops, sorry about going off half cocked!  On the MDC, I found people that had noise issues so it might be somewhat common.  Either way since the 60 day window is gone, there is only so much Crutchfield will probably do.cleeds, what should happen a... 
Bit Disappointed in NAD
Bottom line is that Nad isn’t going to refund anything on a long out of production unit(about 3 years or so). Almost no companies would. It’s too bad that the OP didn’t even check out his 375 before the 60 day return window(pretty long return wind... 
Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review
I just ordered the new Freya+. Why? Because Mike mentioned that they are almost sold out AGAIN, and I, in righteous indignation snapped one up before they are gone and I have to wait another few weeks to only put it off again and then regret it. U... 
Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review
I posted about that review on the audio karma forum.  There was surprise expressed, with one poster immediately disparaging Stereophile.  Mind you Stereophile also praised the amp brand that this particular poster was raving about, but no word on ... 
Just how big is our foot print?
ebm, you should take your own advice. 
Full Range under $5k-ish
As a previous owner of the Parasound P5, next year(when your bank account has recovered!) I'd suggest a new pre.  The P5 is not completely faithful to the signal and the phono section is nothing special, something that is common among budget compo... 
Schiit Freya S or Freya +?
There is an audiophile on youtube that reviewed the original Freya.  He goes by the handle "Thomas & Stereo" and thinks the Freya gives him 90% of what his $3500 preamp does, at 1/5th the price. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwMXMtSprxI No... 
Direct sales (online) and international distribution. What a... schiit?
Brother, that’s a shame.  I buy from Canada where there is no dealer, and so have no other option.  I just checked the schiit.com website and could not find any mention of their dealers in other countries or continents.i agree with you that this i... 
Just how big is our foot print?
There are a group of several in this forum who seem to post dozens of times per day(with post counts sometimes over 17,000, I can't comprehend how someone would have that much time on their hands).  These types of posters could politely be termed ... 
Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?
AQ Rocket 44’s are my main speaker cables and do really well with the Vidar.  I’d be jones’n for some Aegirs too if my speakers were more efficient! Thus my Jones like behaviour is limited to the new Freya +.  I keep telling myself that the balanc... 
Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?
Yeah, abery, it does look pretty impressive. I was somewhat shocked that Stereophile would put it in the Class A category, that’s really saying something.  Right up there with the super expensive amps.I’ve got the schiit Vidar, and almost can’t be... 
Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?
Read Stereophile magazine, they just gave it a Class A rating.   It’s in the same category as amps costing the price of a German car.
