Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2  Thank you for the significant effort required to evaluate and then inform the community of your conclusions. Personally, I find it very helpful. Thank you once again,    LP

Does anyone know if any of the I2S configurations are compatible with the Project RS2T transport?  
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship
@stuartk  Not sure. I'm only guessing they'd be able to assist with servicing. Definitely worth a quick call if a purchase is a strong consideration.

New Project RS2T transport
@robshaw  Congrats on working through your RS2-T problems and putting together an excellent system. Those Encores also are right at the top of Tektons offerings even without the premium upgrade package. Great speakers if you can handle that weig... 
New Project RS2T transport
For those who have had issues with powering up from a full off position, it was recommended to me by Fine Sounds to load a disc prior to powering up. I haven't tested this theory as my power has been stable since the power company thankfully did s...

@soix  @no_regrets  +1 A daunting task to coordinate and evaluate to say the least. May the Force be with you.    
New Project RS2T transport

Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@no_regrets  I'm of a different mindset in regard to the Rotel being utilized as a transport. Would an excellent tonearm-cartridge combo performance be affected by an average turntable? I feel significant gains will materialize with a transport... 
What to do/
If you're located anywhere near the Chicago area there's a record store in Elk Grove Village called the Record Warehouse.  A good friend and I sold the bulk of our collections there, and we were both shocked at what they offered us. They special... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
"Lead time for new LTA orders is typically about four weeks, which includes a full week of burn-in and play-testing." Is this unusual for a manufacturer to standardly burn-in their units? What about units headed for reviewers? For example, tha... 
UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST
Your Martin-Logan's are excellent coherent speakers, however they would not be my first choice for rock music. I really doubt that upgrading from your Qutest would yield the results you're hoping for. If you're otherwise completely content with ... 
Need Advice Asap - Terrible experience with a seller on Reverb (Iso Acoustics Gaia ii)
Crazy how he has nothing but 5 star reviews. When one turns to the dark side...someone has to be the initial encounter.
