Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
@yesiam_a_pirate If the comment about 19 year old gear was directed at me, I don’t know of any ARC REF 75 SE that were made that long ago. The model was introduced about 10-12 years ago and were discontinued 5-7 years ago. It is known as one of AR... 
Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker?
Vimberg makes wonderful speakers for sure, great suggestion! Personally, I don’t like not having a full range sound. For my clients in your particular situation, I like to recommend the Vivid Audio Kaya 25. It’s a fantastic pair of speakers that ... 
Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
Dealer here, but I’m weighing in anyways.  I would say that the market was NOT slow from October through January. It was really quite strong.  I personally noticed some impact immediately after the election, but it was short lived, and late Nove... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@mikicasellas It was my pleasure. Did you end up upgrading your DAC since? If so, what did you land on?  
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER?
It's up to you and the value you place on your audio relative to everything else in your life. If you are not in a state of regret and are fulfilled with your music, your journey, and the learnings you gained along the way, you are in a good spot.  
Grimm MU2 Experience
I'll be the guy in the middle ground. As a dealer, I represent a several digital-forward brands that offer combo streamer/DAC/preamp units: T+A, Aurender, Eversolo, and now, as of this week... Grimm! (Even though I have committed to being a Grimm ... 
Need help with a B.M.C amplifier error
@samureyex I believe Brian at Aaudio Imports is still the U.S. distributor, but I’ve had better luck going direct to Carlos of BMC via BMC’s general contact email.  You can find Brian’s contact info at this link: http://www.aaudioimports.com/Con... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
@oddiofyl That is unfortunate for sure. I’m aware that the McIntosh DAC1 module present in the 8950 and many of the preamps have their own USB connectivity issues or their own, so perhaps the issue is more complicated than it seems, especially if ... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
@oddiofyl That sounds like an unfortunate story. Just curious, what product specifically did you have issues with?  
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I forgot to add that I am also using aftermarket power conditioners and cabling with the AMP-F10, which obviously helps it perform at a higher level over stock.   
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I realize I am reviving this thread after a month, as I was spending time this morning looking for reviews on the AMP-F10.  I’ve been an Eversolo for a month now and have the A10 and F10 combo. As a dealer of many very high end brands, I will say... 
Dac with build-up streamer
The benefit of standalone streamers and DACs are largely dedicated power supplies and better isolation / less noise. Also, both technologies get refreshed at different intervals based on innovation in the market, so some people like keeping things... 
Ether Regen and mesh? Yes!
@wlutke Have you yet tried a very good linear power supply and aftermarket power cable on the EtherRegen? If not, and you have a spare one, it is worth trying. I found that adding a very high quality power cable that cost more than the EtherRegen ... 
Kimber Select KS-1136 XLRs vs. Synergistic Research Galileo SX XLRs
These are two very differently-voiced cables. The Kimber is more sparkly and detail oriented with a very exciting presence and crispness, whereas the Galileo SX will have a richer tone, more impactful bass, deliver impeccable breath and decay, an... 
Does anyone own Borresen Z2 Cryo Speakers
Cool - so does that mean you went forward with the Z2? If anything, you'll at least get a good trade in with Next Level if you want to step up in their line.
