| how do you know if you need a dac ? Does your Ayre CX-7 have a digital input? In a lot of cases people get DACs to stream music online. If your happy with the CX-7 no need for a DAC and if it has a digital input you're fairly future proof. | |
| Grant Audio Did you try sending an email? The site looks fine to me in what ways did it seem out of date? | |
| How loud do you play music? Using a crappy Iphone db meter, which I've since deleted, I was typically listening in the 65-75 db range with occasional peaks approaching 80. That's in a practically nearfield setup in a small apartment. | |
| DAC stopped playing Just for fun maybe try a different input on your preamp or a different set of analog cables from Dac to preamp. Just to eliminate a few more variables after that I would certainly reach out to the manufacturer regarding repair. | |

| Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought Agreed if you like your speakers that much keep them, Spendor makes great speakers and the SP1 is a classic. If you must have something new check out Audio Note, the AN-J, my current speaker, is right in your price range. 93db sensitivity it's eas... | |

| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable RIP Paul and thank you for your contributions to the audio world and world in general. | |
| I apologize for the lack of info BUT Supratek Syrah issues and questions?? Does the preamp have a home theater bypass installed? Not sure if Mick offered that on his preamps but it could explain what you're experiencing if it was engaged. |
