Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Personally I am too interested in a hard drive source in addition, not as a replacement to my Meitner front end. Its less audio quaility driven but rather motivated by convenience in terms of data storage and flexibility such playlists. Having sai...

Reviews with all double blind testing?

Reviews with all double blind testing?
Sooner or later someone is gonna start advocating db testing for cars...yikes!

How do the Channel Island amps differ? 
Burned out hi fi salesman
Cinematic_Systems: Perhaps, but the same can said for all consumer good durables markets. To expect the consumer not to be driven by pricing to a large degree is simply wishful thinking in never never land. For retailer margins: well that's just e...
