| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I recently sold/traded a Pass 250.8 and an XP-22, and took a Coda Csib V1 Integrated amp in trade with cash. I was downgrading and just trying to recoup some cash. I had no experience with Coda, but had read about them for years. The guy I traded/... | |
| Paypal drastic changes This started in 2024, but apparently there was a 60 day moratorium on the 24% I thought this was still on hold, but apparently not. Quick math- You sell an amp for 1000.00 You get paid with PP goods and services. PP takes 240.00 for the IRS, an... | |
| More Than A Whisper: Celebrating The Music Of Nanci Griffith Thanks for the responses. This obviously has a country vibe to it, but well done and well recorded. I especially like the tracks- Trouble in the Fields, Gulf Coast Highway, and my favorite track- Radio Fragile. If your reading this...give it a l... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I strongly second the PS Audio DirectStream Mk 1. I went from a Yiggy to the Directstream and its not even close. This was a legit 6K DAC,,,,,and your stealing it a 2K refurbished. This is a complete no brainer at this price point. BTW- comes ... | |

| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? "How "safe" do you want to be? Personally, I'd never buy any speaker I couldn’t first audition in my room. Your money. Your ears. " I'm pretty sure this rarely happens. Its a great idea, but I can't imagine many dealers are going to let you t... | |
| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades In my experience vinyl is amazing, but very expensive to tap into the magic. I currently have a VPI Prime Signature-Pass XP-17(Phono)-Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge-Audience SX phono cable. This is around 15K to spin records and its sounds gre... | |

| Used PS Audio Items They have a very generous trade in policy. Also as above mentioned they sell a lot of gear. I think at their price point they make very good stuff. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ? Its a great DAC... I sold it and upgraded to a PS Audio Directstream mk 1- which was clearly better in all sonic ways. In fairness , the Yiggy was 2300- and the Directstream was 6K. The point being you can get mint PS Audio Directstream used curre... | |
