Lumin D1, has anyone heard it?
Ripping CD to USB drive should be very similar to NAS drive.In my case, I use dbpoweramp to rip CD to my PC.  The file directory folder structure is typical \artist name\album name\track name. I ripped CD  in FLAC lossless. I then coped these musi... 
Lumin D1, has anyone heard it?
which input of Lumin provides better sound quality - Ethernet or USB?I have a Lumin D1 for a month and is very happy with its performance. It plays flawlessly, and in many ways better than my $4000 tube CD player.  It has pin point imaging with gr... 
Harbeth P3SER
I have the P3ESR. If you have a small to medium size room, I think they are one of the best speakers money can buy. In comparison to the Roger LS3/5A (15 ohm), the P3ESR retains the magical mid range and vocals, but with deeper bass and extended h... 
Raysonic CD168 connects directly to Power Amp
Dave and Samhar - Thanks for sharing.My initial impression with direct connection to the amp was very positive. To confirm my impression, I should switch back to connecting the CD168 via the SFL-2. I did not care for the original EH 6922. The 6DJ8... 
VTI audio rack, any good?
For the price of VTI rack, I think they are more than decent. They are both functional and great looking in black. They are also very deep (19") and high (9") enough to fit my 110 lb tube amp. If you are looking for the best in class in quality an... 
Do any amps have 6 ohm taps for 6 ohm impedance?
I drive my Hyperion 938 with Sonic Frontier Power 2. I tried both the 4 ohm and 8 ohm tab, and the differences are not significant. I found 8 ohm is a little bit smoother at mid to high frequencies, but 4 ohm has better bass control. Since 4 ohm c... 
DCCA Passion Master Interconnect
Am I the only one bought the DCCA IC? In my tube based systems, it is very neutral, detail, dynamic and articulate with a huge sound stage. Not as warm as the Cardas Golden Reference and Acoustic Zen, but overall a better fit in my system. Any fee... 
Do I need a power cable - if so what brand?
Audio Advisor has a deal on Tributaries Series 9 Power Cable on sale. They are 10 AWG and looks great. For under $30, it seems a great opportunity to try. Anyone has any experience with the Tributaries PC? 
Audible Illusion Modulus 3A CD connection
I have the AI 2D which does not has the CD input. I normally use the AUX input. When I switched to the TAPE input, it boosted volume significantly (have to lower the volume from 11am to 7am when switched from AUX to TAPE. Wonder if TAPE passes thr... 
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
Dracule1 - the McAlister has two amps - SE44 and PP150. I know PP150 can drive the Hyperion without a problem, but wonder if the 22Watts SE will do. Any experience with that? Also, I understand they have noise from transformers, and reliability is... 
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
I am a new owner of Hyperion 938. My decision was solely based on many great reviews and positive owners feedback from Audiocircle. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and found the hyperion very revealing of the sources and amplification....
