@russ69 2 channel system  
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
I recently read an editorial that obliquely tackles this subject.  The main point was who actually had a true reference as to what is a perfect reproduction.  Many recordings are not venue specific.  Those that are were made in the past in a place...

@jea48 Thanks for such a detailed and informed explanation! It never fails to amaze me the depth of knowledge so willingly shared by folks like you on the Forum.  
Von Schweikert Outstanding customer support
@sls883  Love the soldering story!  My initial question to Matt was a little vague.  When I refined it I received another <24  hr reply that was excellent advice.  We look forward to your experience with the Model 1!  
Freight Movers?

Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Shipping costs- WTF
My first education with shipping was similar.  I found the pricing for boxes and bubble wrap ludicrous.  One of the attractions of the shipper I chose was a local drop off.  Turns out only the main shipping offices were the only place one could pr...
