| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line Class-D amps have the trasistors running at much higher frequency. | |
| what is the best, least costly DAC...? Kbarkamian - V-DAC is ANYTHING but dull and lifeless sounding. It is very transparent, with excellent resolution and soundstaging. If you found it dull sounding, than it may be one of two things:- your DAC was faulty- your system was voiced around... | |
| what is the best, least costly DAC...? I second MF V-DAC. Astonishing value @ $299. Even better with the outboard power supply (Little Pinky, MF own V-PSU etc).V-DAC does 24/96 but is limited to 16/48 on the USB input so you would have to invest into M2Tech hiFace Asynchronous USB To S... | |
| Shipping from US to Europe, best company? I've used UPS to ship by airfright a crated pair of Peak Consult Speakers (700 lbs) to Japan from Europe ... paid $1000 total. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line I wish they launched a cheap integrated instead ! | |

| Teddy XPS Naim power supply Never heard of Pardo. His products look interesting though. Also would be interested to read any feedback. | |
| Electrocompaniet class D ? Aw400 monos are quite tall. It is possible that they are a two-tier design, with transformer hidden in the lower compartment. I have never heard of EC using SMPS (switch mode power supply) or switching output stage. | |
| Wadia or Arc CD player? I do not know about CD1, but CD2 can be repaired, no problem. The CDM-12.4 mechanism that is used in CD2 is still available. No genuine Philips parts available though, only generic pickups made in China. | |
| Wadia or Arc CD player? Get the CD-3 mk II. ARC will service it forever. Most older Wadias use Sony KSS-151A laser pickups that are no longer available. Same for Pioneer stable platter mechhanism (Wadia 830, 301), which gets harder to source. | |
| Do tweeters with open rear chamber need enclosure? What tweeter do you mean ? 99% of current design have sealed rear chambers. | |
