| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's @larsman Besides Man and Budgie there was also another Welsh band called Sassafras. They toured extensively in the US and Europe but never made the Big Time. Their Riding High album is on Tidal. Man and Budgie also on Tidal. Beckett another forgo... | |
| DHL and the definiton of insanity DHL have extended their business model and they now collect all customs fees and taxes. This allows governments to use fewer customs officers and DHL gets additional revenue. On a recent Chinese import the shipper had screwed up they waybill whi... | |
| Tyro Audiophile with questions @leadcrew Nevermind about dealers/distributors, the voltage in Romania will be 220/230v plus they have purchase tax (VAT) around 20%, plus import taxes from outside the EU at ??? depending on origin. You should be able to import to Romania a on... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @jackd Thanks for the "heads up" I'll investigate further. @charles1dad The new PS transport outputs native DSD via I2s so you are getting the encrypted DSD layer. I have most of my favorite albums on SACD some of which I've been able to copy to... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I'm sure the Project and Jay's are excellent solid and robust transports but why not think about the PS Audio CD/SACD transport? I know it's $6.5k but PS will give you up to 30% trade in on any old gear you have providing it's working. You even h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm +1 On Goldensound, I respect the way he's stood up to dCS and the MQA scum, notwithstanding his truly excellent reviews of the May, Spring, Serene, Dave etc. The Fat German keeps defending MQA to his last breath when everyone else has prove... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g I would say the general Chinese business plan is similar to the post War Japanese one. Which is first copy, dump the product on the market and when the competition is on it's knees bring out a cheaper quality product. I would say the 0... | |
| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? @baumwoll Trust your own ears, no one else's. Ignore the naysayers. You've probably got a flat screen TV, change the power cable to a NEO by Oyaide D+ only about $50.00, if that doesn't prove anything nothing will. https://www.neo-w.com/english/... | |
| Looking for Wadia 16 parts; specifically “Servo” board Ebay has bits and pieces occasionally. Google the part name and number that should bring something up. There's a firm in Germany selling lasers they may have some knowledge. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @twoleftears Thank you for the Geopolitical lesson, I've been to Prague on business. I was not criticizing the CR in any way. The quality of their CZ firearms is World class. On ground level though the CR is quite a poor country and lags behind ... | |

| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. @tablejockey I was there, I got the T-Shirt. When Stereo was released it was a breath of fresh air. If you like mono go for it. When I say DSD you have to copy a SACD onto a SSD and play it on a server. The Japanese single layer SACDs are best. ... | |
| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. You need the DSD versions, honestly who wants to listen to mono? If you're a millennial that has never heard mono before just cover one ear and there you have it. Audiofools! | |
| Pink Floyd in 24/192 The DSD versions are the best. |
