Preamp issue
I have finally solved the problem I’ve been having with the low frequency low volume sound coming out of my speakers. After spending several hours over several days of switching in and out components, the culprit was my WiFi extender/network switc...

Silverfoxvtx1800 I’m 73 and thinking it is time to change as well. Solid state and integrated. Is the end of your handle the Honda?

Silverfoxvtx1800, et.al.-   I purchased the Denafrips DAC from a USAudiomart seller. When I contacted him about the problem he Iimmediately offered to refund the purchase price. I started this discussion because I liked the DAC and really did no...

Paulcreed- Was not near my system when it popped. Where did you run your winter ground line?  
Preamp issue
audioman58- I do not know the age of the Pontius DAC I have. Since it is a 12th version I would think not too old. I have sent an email to Denafrips asking for the date of manufacture. I know there is a software fix that might address the popping... 
Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static?

JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2
As macg19 said, the magnesium cone speakers are used by JA.  Harbeth does not use magnesium cones  
JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2
Something I wish I knew ahead of time- You should check to see if the JA Pulsar model you are interested in has a Magnesium cone woofer. i purchased a pair of Opera Callus bookshelf speakers that have SEAS  Magnesium cone woofers. The speakers s... 
DAC upgrade, new or used, $1000
I will do some research on the suggested Ayre Codex, Myteck Liberty and the Schitt Gungnir. Has anyone listened to the Audiolab M-DAC+ and if so what are your opinions? How does the M-DAC+ compare to the first three?

So I took the wife and some CD's and auditioned a used pair of Focal profile 918's today. The demo was with a SS 300W/channel amp similar to what I have at home so I felt it was a fair audition. The wife liked the look, size and the sound of the F...
