| New Project RS2T transport Very lucky to get a replacement. I ordered one 3 months ago that was supposed to have been here last week. Now I'm being told September. | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Very nice Steve. How are the Psvane tubes? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @deutscherhififan Please post how and if this gets resolved. I have one on order and the truth is I'm not in the habit of paying to create problems for myself. Having to repack and ship a new preamp for repair or refund falls right into that c... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Well you gassed her up And you're behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrellin' down the boulevard You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night Tom Waits | |
| DAC diminishing returns @deludedaudiophile It's still breaking in so I've left all the settings alone. Once I get the final 2 pieces to my system in place I'll start to fool around with the EQ settings. | |

| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Did you get it yet? | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Thank you Charles. That and I'm expecting the new Pro-ject spinner along with a Nikola power supply any day now. Hopefully I'll be done for a while and can focus on the music. | |

| DAC diminishing returns Lots of really good suggestions and advice here. In my mind none are more important than trusting your own ears. I upgraded my DAC less than a year ago. I set a budget and started to audition. I had a dealer come to my house with 4 different o... | |
| WAITAMINIT! Center stage disappeared with a Modwright KWA 150SE and Daedalus Athena V.2?! Guys, I just got my Don Sachs model 2 back with some upgrades and didn't realize it inverted phase as well. I read this thread and reversed the speaker cables. Leon Redbone is back in the room. Thank you for posting! | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company I just came from a 2 hour audition of these speakers. Speculating without hearing them first means you'll miss out on something really good. The source was an Aqua steamer with the matching DAC. The preamp was a Backert rhythm. Amps were some ... |
