Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3
Sujay I would not just be worried about a speakers bass integrating well into a listening room. You need to hear every speaker before you buy. MM speakers I believe use ceramic drivers which have a certain sound just as carbon fiber and other driv... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
When you finally get there let me know if you run into some more resistance (Hoffa)🤓 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I have no such problems in the highs with my Rockport Altair's. I'll put them up against any electrostat  or ribbon speaker. I hate Heil tweeters in all speakers I have heard them in. 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Again another review using headphones.

Jazz at pawn shop boring. You need to listen to Coletrane, Milt Jackson, Miles Davis, Adderly brothers, etc.

Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000
rushton, I have the Io also. I bought the a/d converter by Benchmark. I connect the Io into the Benchmark with rca interconnects and then use a digital coax cable to connect to the Tascam 3000. Its set up as a slave so it lets the Benchmark do the... 
Viva, no longer a fan
Damb it go get it fixed by a local repair place. Many manufactures go out of business or die yet products are fixable. Anyone hear of marantz, fisher , Scott. Man if I were a moderator on this forum I would be warning you by now. If I had a viva p...

I could puke. All this talk about specs and nothing about how it sounds. 
A.J. Conti of Basis Audio has passed away.
You have to be kidding, was he sick or was this a sudden heart attack or aneurysm? I have had many beautiful long conversations with him on the phone and the last one about a month ago. He really had precise knowledge on the engineering side of th...
