Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
For clarification, I was making no political statements nor supporting any. Nor was I insinuating that the criminal justice system could be or is being used politically. I was just pointing out the obvious: people with wealth can do more as litiga... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
@hartf36 Not to be picky but neither of those points apply. Malice or its absence is only involved in a defamation case if there is a public official or a public figure suing a news media outlet. I doubt that Erik from Tekton fits either category... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
@audiokinesis A defamation case can be brought anywhere the alleged defamatory remarks were published. I’d guess that a YouTube video is pretty much everywhere so the case could probably be brought in any state which gives the plaintiff the opport... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
Just my two cents with the caveat that I am a lawyer, recently retired, but I did previous work in tort areas so I understand the law of defamation (slander, libel, slander per se and libel per se). The important things to know about defamation ar... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
@calvinj I beg to differ. The DAC is not your source. It converts your digital source to an analog signal. It is in the chain with the source which is your streamer or music files but it doesn't create the music or the type of file that the source... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
Has anyone tried the Holo Cyan 2? It seems to me that DACs are fairly overrated in terms of the difference in sound quality in a system compared to the amp, speakers or initial source. This seems like a quality product at a reasonable price rather... 
Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender
I have the Aurender N200 and the T+A 200 DAC. It took about 100 hours for it to open up and I got them both at the same time so I cannot speak to what is doing what but it is very detailed. I got the Aurender N200 in part because of recommendation... 
Opinions on NAD please
I have similar experience to @overthemoon   I still have a T763 and I've had NAD receivers (no Class D amps) and they sounded great and worked great. I had an initial problem with a T762 and they replaced it at no cost with the T763 about 20 or so... 
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
If they are anything like the Spatial Audio Labs speakers Clayton used to run, they will continue to open up for around 300 hours. Check out AudioCircle where this is discussed extensively under Spatial Audio Labs' Circle.   
New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan
@vthokie83 Thanks for the report. I want to confirm that speaker placement is going to do a lot. These are dipole speakers so they are projecting back as well as forward. Some of the bass and soundstage/imaging/presentation is going to be related ... 
Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck
I did (shoot Eversolo support an email) and they just quoted from the owner's manual which I found to be useless. I specifically asked them how to do this and they didn't know. I asked them about a "select all" function and they said they'd look i... 
What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
I want to update my experience with the T+A DAC200. I've continued to use it and the Aurender N200 streamer and the sound opened up and I'm hearing detail I hadn't heard before so I'm now in the phase of enjoying everything (whether it be on the S... 
Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck
My problem is mainly on the SSD. In order to move the music loaded on the SSD to the library, you have to do it for every file (artist) individually. I couldn't find any "select all" which would have made the task 1000% easier and quicker. Also, i... 
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I met Clayton at Pacific Audio Fest. He was in Spatial Audio Labs' room where they were showing off their Q6 speaker. This seems very much like a similar product although significantly less costly. I know Spatial Audio Lab has put the Q6 on pause ... 
Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck
Not sure why you needed 2 threads on this but I have the DMP-8 for my second system and so far I like it. I'm not crazy about the app and haven't tried certain things such as the room correction. I did install the SSD and I like that except, again...
