| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? I owned the Carrera Be's for over three years and used them with a number of different amps both SS and tubes. The best sound I ever got from them was with a Supratek Chardonnay preamp and a Music Reference RM-10 tube amplifier. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @the_nick Don't see anything fishy in Clayton's request. He's telling you to get a refund and then re-send the money while he holds your place in line. He's not asking you to pay him twice. If you in fact sent the money to the right account... | |

| What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific) @hysteve I’ve owned both the Aqua La Voce S2 and the S3 and contrary to an earlier poster I found the difference in the two to be significant and well worth the upgrade. I went from there to a Holo May KTE which I find to have a similar sound pr... | |
| XLR to RCA conversion @hifinut51 If you're talking about this model then it looks to be the exact same thing and PE has them in stock. https://www.parts-express.com/Jensen-Iso-Max-PC-2XR-Pro-to-Consumer-High-to-Low-Level-Sign-246-0127 | |
| XLR to RCA conversion Did you try lifting the ground on either unit with a cheater plug first to see if that eliminated the hum? Not a permanent solution but a test point. For XLR to SE conversion units look first to Jensen before car audio products. Also reach out ... | |
| Impulsive drive to buy the EverSolo dmp-A8 or should I wait ? That is the question. The A8 is the second generation with the A6 being the first. They use the exact same software package which has now had seven months of firmware and control app updates. Nothing really left to wait on hardware wise and the software tweaking will... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @dsper The SET 120 amp and Control Amp along with the SET 400 would fall into the warm and liquid with good bass category. I have a friend that used the Control amp with Carrera's for several years and then used it as an amp only with a Suprate... | |
| Eversolo a6 and Lampizator The Eversolo has Coax, Optical and USB outputs. Whether anybody else thinks it's up to their standards or not it will work just fine. There are of course other options but in that price range the Eversolo has the only comprehensive software packa... | |
| Auralic Aries G1.1 That sounds like pure nonsense. I've used two G1's with over a dozen different DAC's in the last five years and never had or heard of a compatibility issue. Typical audio forum BS from users who can't read a manual. | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? Rythmik without a doubt as you pay no middle-man or dealer markup and if you have an issue you can deal directly with the owner. There is a reason you can buy two instead of one. I own two pair. | |

| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? As good of streamers as the models from Aurender, Innuos and Lumin may be if the OP wants to stream Amazon natively that narrows the market down considerably. In his price range that basically leaves the Aries G1.1 which is on sale for $2200 and ... | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound If you're shopping in the Sasha V price range I would look closely at the Verity Arindal as it may give you the best of both worlds. If closer to the price of the Deville is where your at then the Otello. | |
| Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please Use the DH Labs USB cable included in the sale from the G2 to the Iris and then I2S cable from the Iris to the Pontus.. If Darren at DH Labs makes an I2S cable at a reasonable price then try that if not then Wireworld. https://silversonic.co... |
