| David Berning live One of the LTA missions was to bring the Berning designs to a much wider audience at an affordable price. Their focus is on the craftsmanship of the finished product, their working with Fern & Roby to fine-tune the industrial design, and thei... | |

| Sonore Opticalrendu vs Auralic Aries G1.1 The LTA power supply is on the way. Excited to hear the difference. | |
| Sonore Opticalrendu vs Auralic Aries G1.1 Quick update. I found a good deal on a barely used Optical Rendu package (with the Sonore Optical Module and power supplies for both and all cabling), so I'm giving that a whirl. I'll be anxious to compare it to my existing Innuos Zenith MKIII. ... | |
| New transport or repair CD player I have an Ayre Cx7MPe that I've always really loved the sound of. The whole "DACS are improving exponentially" stuff is way overblown IMO, so I recently sent it back to Ayre for a new transport. $400 and works like a charm once again. Anybody p... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @w123ale You just described the Merason DAC1 to a "T". I had the Bricasti M3 in for a few days and with my set-up (Fleetwood Devilles, McGary Integrated, Backert Labs Pre) the Merason was the better fit. | |

| Sonore Opticalrendu vs Auralic Aries G1.1 Thanks for the input. I'm going to see if I can set up a demo for the opticalrendu over the weekend. | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable @dodgealum Interesting about the motor change. I'm not sure my dealer knows that, he mentioned it's just a cable change to the motor. Not sure the new speed controller is worth the $2K asking price, but I will get to ask more questions at the C... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable So it’s actually a different motor with the new speed controller box? | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @oltmb Thanks, I think you got closer to what I was asking than anyone else. I have a feeling there are two or three companies providing the streaming capability in all kinds of high end components. Interesting that the image under HiFi is a Nai... | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @fittebd No, not at all. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @curiousjim It was Andrew Robinson in a Q&A. But I have two dealers who also make the same point, which is their way of saying the DAC is more important. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @facten I think that's the more on-point observation--none sound the same. Picking out which is better is often a lot more difficult for me than noticing the actual differences. It often seems they are trading one trait for another and it all co... |
