Lab12 DAC1 Reference Problem
@oddiofyl, you said “ It's a small inconvenience in the scheme of life”, and I completely agree with you.  
Lab12 DAC1 Reference Problem
@oddiofyl, I will try the second coax tomorrow. I talked with Stratos a while back regarding DAC’s balanced version, wanted to get that one, but it turned out it’s not yet  available in the US.

@tksteingraber, thanks for your feedback. I sent the email earlier today, and yes, they’re very responsive, usually they reply within two days, like you said.

@oddiofyl, man much much appreciated. I did the on and off thingy, and after the second attempt it works great without dropping the signal. You just saved my Christmas gift :). Thanks again!  
Experience with Modwright products?
@jbhiller, did you have a chance to compare your Vince t7 with Modwright LS99 preamp? And if so, what is your impression?  
Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
The Octave HP 700 SE preamp is as good as it gets. I was going to get one, but the waiting time was too long at the time, and bought the Accuphase solid state instead.   
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
Troll question. How old are you?  
LUXMAN C-900U Question
@rpeluso, I really appreciate your understanding

Sorry guys, I stand corrected, my cables are Nordost Frey 2, not the Heimdall.  
LUXMAN C-900U Question

Octave HP-700se and Accuphase C-2150 Preamp Question

LUXMAN C-900U Question
Sounds pretty good, very transparent and neutral, although I hear a hint of sterility with all my power amps.  
LUXMAN C-900U Question
Hi there, it’s a store demo, they simply gave me wrong remote, honest mistake, but still I can’t test a couple of features that are only on the remote. Thanks for your reply.  
Acoustic Zen - blown tweeter - out of business? replacement?
Any news on Robert Lee, folks? I also ordered a pair of tweeters for my Crescendos last week, but no contacts since, no phone, no email, he doesn’t even charge my card. He (Robert) is a man of his word, and as of now I’m kind of worried about his ... 
How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume?
@audioconnection , I don’t have a ARC amp, and never will, I’m looking for class A Pass amp, and the input impedance is 50/100 Kohms, SE/Balanced, so kinda thought you’re implying that their (Pass) input impedance is on the lower side, wanted to c...
