| sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price I agree with Ihasaguy, this topic is way to general. Some gear has good margin and some dealers are willing to give a decent discount. Others not so much, or pricing is policed heavily by manufacturers and their distributors.High end audio is mu... | |

| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Just came across this older thread, just wondering how everyone is liking their Black / Black EX systems. I am considering trying out the Black EX Integrated with my Martin Logan speakers. I know Bel Canto has great DACs and I am really interest... | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions Have you considered trying to upgrade your ri-100 to the ri-101? I was talking to the new US distributor (High End by Oz) and he mentioned the ri-101 had a revamped preamp section. You should give Oz a call. | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? @firstonetallguy, I should have added “neutral” and transparent. The T2 is on the neutral side, so if your system is neutral then it may be too much of the same thing, which some peoplemay like. Totally a matter of preference.It doesn’t seem like... | |
| Where do I start!?! Why not try it out? And see what you think you may be surprised. I would recommend to wait to sell them. You will lose a lot of money especially on the speakers. You may be happy with it, and then you can tweak the room or system components ac... | |
| Audioquest SKY Interconnects One telltale sign that it is a fake is looking at the velcro bands on the DBS packs. If they wrap around the DBS and/or have AudioQuest written on them in white, then they are most likely fake. Just look at some pictures of authentic cables onli... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? Over the last few months, I did get a chance to test out a few Streamer/DACs for comparison, the Meridian 218, Lumin D2, Lumin T2, and Mytek Brooklyn+. These were connected to a Luxman 509X (using AQ WEL RCA interconnects) and ML 11A speakers.All ... | |
| Novice Question: Dedicated Streamers @ahofer laid it out really well. I like to think of these in a few buckets:- DAC with streamer functionality, has digital+network in, digital+analog out (Auralic, MSB, NAD, others)- Streamer with DAC functionality, has network in, digital+anal... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @caphill Thanks! I tried both, plugging the 509X into the conditioner and direct to the wall. I prefer direct to the wall, but not a huge difference. Though I still need to upgrade power cables and maybe the conditioner as well.@maguiar Any upd... | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated I love the Separates mode. I have my Marantz 8805 connected to the 509X for L/R and another amp driving my center channel. I switch to full integrated mode when using my DAC. Awesome combination. I do have a question, are the two sides (amp/prea... | |
| Audioquest DBS Carbon - How to change battery Awesome! Glad it worked out, AQ has amazing support. | |
| Audioquest DBS Carbon - How to change battery You can pop the bottom open, if I remember correctly it’s easier front to back. I think it clips inside.Just out of curiosity, why do you need to change the batteries? The Carbon packs are a year or so old and the batteries last a long time. It... |
