VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
My Ref 3 has now racked up approximately 380 hours and is sounding absolutely glorious. Interestingly enough, the sound stage did not come completely into its amazing own until past 360 hours of operation, which means just about one week ago. Prio...

Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Sychdeli, are you sure your APL-modified UX-1 is truly a NWO-2 with 20 DACs per channel, and not a NWO-1 with 10 DAC chips per channel? I have read on the APL forums that Alex Peychev from APL intends to show an NWO-2 at CES 2007, but I was not aw... 
Esoteric X-01 Limited or new D-03/P-03
I should like to point out the Babybear has more recent information on the upgrade path from X-01 to Limited for current owners. The bottom line is that TEAC America is in the process of sorting out matters technical and they are currently in fact...

Esoteric X-01 Limited or new D-03/P-03
mgottlieb, the answer is yes, in the next several weeks Teac America will start accepting upgrade orders from current X-01 customers. I heard somewhere that the upgrade is quite complex and may involve perhaps 100 parts.CDW, I can only echo some o...

The article does not appear to be available online. Could you post some of the most salient points? Thanks, Guido 
Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
Thank you Gmorris. Not too many specifics for the LS26 on the ARCDB site yet. There is confirmation that the design is derived and scaled down from Ref 3. There are only 2 6H30 dual triods: this probably means that the PS may be solid state. The d...

Any idea why it was nuked? Who complained to the moderators? The doubters, the converted, or the manufacturer? 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
So are your novelty products Mr. kait. 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Geofkait, yes you could call it 'mature' rubbish in a way. Or perhaps even more precisely 'ripe' rubbish. it all depends if the term rubbish is more pertaining to the mind of the author or of the intellectual scent emanating from the end product: ... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Instruction set at a molecular level, eh? yes, very entertaining indeed. Unfortunately it's complete unspecific childish rubbish. 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Sorry, that product is called the CLG (Clever Little Girlfriend) [Patent Pending]. . . and it will be marketed by me! it will consist of a little very highly modified pendent bejeweled clock that you will let your girlfriend wear, and. . . you kno... 
The Clever Little Sharp
Zaikesman, you may have a point. Once upon a time castration was effectively employed to make young men sing like Angels, and was only abrogated by Don Lorenzo Perosi at the Sixtine Chapel Choir in not so distant 1936.Perhaps the same could be use...
