DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc
I bought a Holo May in 2021 and had no problem corresponding with Tim Connor at Kitsune Hi-Fi; I had a number of questions about shipping and technical issues, and he replied to me within a day or two, often the same day, every time. That was then... 
Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying?
I might consider it, but only if there was some kind of guarantee and I'd be able to return it if dissatisfied.
