Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review
Does she sell any other products and what are the prices?

The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
I still happily have an ARC SP9mk2 with a pair of Acoustat Model X’s. I have updated some parts on the amps and they sound better than new.  
Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2  Thanks again for doing this.  As I have said, I am just starting my search another DAC,  so your timing is quite good and speaking of quite good, so is your test list!

Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL
I have three copies of Bookends. The original pressing, a re-release and the CD which I just had to have. I started streaming a couple of years ago and the high res version on Qobux sounds great, but not as good as the original 1968 release. Yes i...

@yesiam_a_pirate  Congratulations are definitely in order here. To say I’m envious would be an understatement.😎.  I also wish you lived closer or there was a a dealer less than 300 miles from me. Looking forward to hear your thoughts when you ge...
