QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport!
Good idea. Thanks wig. I might as well try his email again, too…   
QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport!
So I tried using the contact form on the webpage for this stabilizer but had some trouble, so I emailed directly. I did not get a response over three weeks. I’m on an iPad & Safari and have a few sticking point issues with the website, so ther... 
New Project RS2T transport
I’m another that has had no issues with my RS2T transport. I was thinking about replacing my PWT right when Terry posted his review, Aug ‘21? So I purchased early in our collective knowledge of the unit. I bet if we could see build date for the fe... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
@tonywinga I have no doubt that the Ayon Stealth XS DAC is as good as you say it is. About a decade ago I had an Ayon Triton II KT-88 integrated amp that I LOVED the sonics of. But I think you may not see as much as you’d like to see of Ayon in th... 
What Gear Has Disappointed You?
Back about 10 years ago I decided to get serious about power delivery and purchase a more expensive than had power conditioner. I bought a Running Springs Audio Dmitri power conditioner (around 5k new) I was shocked how closed-in and warm it mad... 
Denafrips DAC decoding oddities
There is no DAC that decodes SACD. It is decoded in an SACD player only. It’s how it’s always been. If you can not hear the difference of SACD from a normal CD, it just points to a sonic bottleneck in your system.  I’m sure someone else can addres... 
Little Giant NOS DAC mini review
It can certainly be interesting and fun to get an upgrade in systems sound with ‘affordable’ gear. What’s even more interesting is how we get used to that sound over time and then can upgrade to a ‘better’ sound over and over and over. I once felt... 
100% USA designed & made DAC
@papioaf same time! Crazy   
100% USA designed & made DAC
Mojo Audio. Lots of direction changes the last few years but it looks like that is settled now and the Mystique X emerges.   
5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes.
@jasonbourne52 HA!  Sounds like you’ve just curated yourself a 90% crap algorithm of recommendations. I get tons of fun and great information from YT all the time.   
Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE
@jasonbourne52 so you’re saying that even though a streaming platform advertises a certain bitrate and the DAC registers and displays that bitrate, that it is actuallly less??  
Amp(s) to drive B&W 803 D3 speakers
I can’t answer your specific question but Jeff Wells of Wells Audio, a California based company, is always available over email.   
Amp(s) to drive B&W 803 D3 speakers
I’ve owned a Wells Audio Innamorata Signature amplifier ($15k) for many years (I think it’s called Innamorata II now, w/ a different chassis). It is a fantastic amp. I recently read that it has a similar harmonic profile as Pass and Coda but I wou... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
@tvad, agreed. Excellent wording change suggestion. And after owning Daedalus Ulysses and Argos, I’d also theorize M3 over the M1.   
Best DACs under $7,000.00
Calling the Bricasti M3 “light” and/or “bright” goes against the reviews, as well as my own experience owning one for a couple years (yes, with MDX). It was never light or bright in my system, through a few system iterations. The M3 is ‘warmer fee...
