Jay makes some good points. Thanks for posting.

Good point. Maybe I’m naive but I was thinking their reputation is on the line and the more reviews we have the better.

Then buy his f-ing stuff without wasting time to listen to it. This forum is for those who want to investigate and get to the truth.  
Opinions about Daniel Hertz
When I first saw S. Huff's review of the Daniel Hertz's Maria w/ Eva system, I was excited to make plans to go up to N. Cal for an auditioning. But after seeing all the comments and using some common sense, I was a lot less excited, thinking perha...

I haven't independently verified claims that ML re-branded Chinese equipment and jacked up the price. However, it is all over the internet message boards.  Hopefully, someone who have heard the DH system will chime in.   
Opinions about Daniel Hertz
It doesn’t help when just four months ago at the time of Stephen Huff’s review the Eva system costs $13k, and now on Daniel Hertz’s website, it costs 19,000EU.   
SF Serafino G2 vs Von Schweikert Endeavor RE
@tonyptony, thanks for commenting.   
Tube rolling on MacIntosh C2300
Thank for all the great suggestions. Will definitely look into them. It will be nice to have quality alternatives instead of Telefunken which is crazy expensive.

Haha, misspelled.   
RCA versus XLR interconnects
You’re probably right but I really don’t want to get too much into it either.    If I have a decent system and tried my best to maximize it (without spending too much time), that’s good enough for me. Rest is for the forum community. Someone may ... 
RCA versus XLR interconnects
I promised to report back, and here's the reply from Eversolo:   Question: I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 DAC/Streamer.   It has XLR outputs, but I want to know whether the circuitry inside the unit is fully deferential?  In other words, two compl... 
RCA versus XLR interconnects
For what it’s worth, MacIntosh technical advisor said he would use XLR over RCA all the time regardless of the length because of RF interference.   
RCA versus XLR interconnects
Got a amazingly fast reply from MacIntosh: "The 2300 preamplifier circuitry, XLR’s are converted from bal-unbal on the way in and unbal-bal on the way out. Converting involves a single op-Amp of added circuitry. While added circuitry does add no... 
RCA versus XLR interconnects
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPBitFrmlzo The video was very helpful. To have a truly balanced component, it needs to have 2 completely identical circuits that are out of phase (full deferential). OCD HiFi Guy also said true balanced components... 
Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ?
I basically asked the same question about my Eversolo going direct to my Mac amp versus going thru C2300. I got different answers from obviously it would sound better to changing tubes etc. For me, even if going direct sounds better, I would still...
