Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Thanks guys, I am truly humbled.  My wife and son had a good laugh yesterday when I showed them my post. It might be a record for length on AG! For those who read the entire post, sorry for taking up half your day. When researching the Allnic T... 
Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Thank you kota1 Just noted that on AG format, this looks like and is, a very long post.  
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I received the LTA power supply last week and fresh out of the box we found it profoundly different than the stock switcher. We did find the stock switching power supply very good. It has its strengths. The midrange became the focal point with vo... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I received my RS2 transport a few days ago. I'll give you my initial impressions (well, mine and my wife's). Out of the box, I was ready to send it back. Pretty disappointed really. At the same time, I didn't have a solid cable option nor did I h... 
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
I should be receiving my RST2 in a couple of days. I ordered it sometime in October I believe.  I was hopeful to procure a Network Acoustics I2S cable as I already am enjoying their Muon USB that connects from my May KTE to a computer. I will pos... 
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
I’ve had the RST2 on order now since August of 21 I believe. I’m getting older and crankier waiting for this thing. And the ship date continually moves forward! I saw this from old_ears, "Maybe a new can of worms here but the otherwise wonderful ... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I'm getting anxious to hear this transport having the Holo May KTE. I ordered mine this past summer. Expected date to arrive is now March 18th 2022. So now I'm most unhappy regarding my delivery date from AA. Looks like I'll be making some phone... 
Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage
Get both? If only I had the luxury. I'm already beyond spoiled just considering this equipment.  Maybe it's the tube personality I'm missing. Tubes have been a mixed bag for me. I'm always wondering if a tube is going bad.  Tube gear should opti... 
Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage
In response to room treatment, I've had GIK room treatments on order for months now. I currently have 2ea 2 X 4 panels in place but looking to dial in the room much further knowing that the room is at least 51% of your sound enjoyment. Not a lot ... 
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
Just received my 10ft Fidelium speaker cables. So here's my 20 cents (inflation).To start with, I was wondering how much break-in was needed on these cables. So I did a search which led me to this forum. I don't post much due to thin skin. As I re... 
Cullen or Triode Wire Labs power cord?
Don't forget about LessLoss C-Marc. I may be picking up 1 or 2 of those cables today. Would love to see a Presidents Day sale. 
Rockna Wavelight thoughts?
I already own a great sounding DAC, the Lindemann Musicbook DSD. And now Lindemann offers an upgrade which entirely replaces the contents within in skin for less than $2K.But, mental illness has me wishing for a new dac. It happens in audio. And m... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
I currently use a Lindemann Musicbook DSD streamer as a pre. Great DAC and CD player and it replaced a dedicated preamp. But having a Rega P10 mated to a Rogue Audio Area magnum while using the streamer as a preamp, you know my system is bastardiz... 
Went from brilliant to distortion
Ya see. No longer have I posted than lewm provided me with more knowledge regarding my phono pre than I knew over the years I've owned it.You are correct in that the ECC802's are positioned toward the back of the chassis and yes, near to the outpu... 
Went from brilliant to distortion
I am forever a student of audio. At this "hobby" for 54 years, so I'm in second grade. I might actually be unlearning crap at this point. I read posts from many of you that speak of cartridge loading, VTA, on and on and I'm like "hope I got good t...
