Six DAC Comparison
@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
I as well have had no further issues with my RS2-T. From a call I made to Fine Sounds (their distributor) recently inquiring about the I2S, I had the sense that they still have many service issues to this day. IMHO the performance is excellent, ... 
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
Out of curiousity, what components does your current system comprise of? @dznutz  Better exhale.  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@no_regrets  I've used a Musical Fidelity A-5 as a transport, along with a Cambridge CXC, and currently a Project RS2T. The Project is simply at a different sonic level. Unfortunately, this Project model has had serious reliability issues.  My ... 
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.  
Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To
Can’t really think of one example of a song that took me multiple exposures to develop an attraction to. With me it works kind of in reverse. On some occasions if I’m overexposed (in my estimation) to music I previously found acceptable it can bec... 
LAIV Harmony
One size does not fit all. My favorite component is my line stage. I greatly prefer a hot-rodded DAC that possibly sounds slightly superior along with not paying a premium for features I will not be utilizing. I very well could be in the minority ... 
SnubWay Question Thread
@ozzy  Received my Snubway yesterday and listened last night. After an hour and a half of listening without Snubway I plugged it in and listened for about 3 hours repeating a lot of the same recordings. This is only 1st impressions obviously, an... 
You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this..
What's its 0-33 1/3 time?  
Quandary
OK, the $300 is invested. If you would decide to go ahead with purchasing the Pass amp maybe (if you haven't already) it's a good time to discuss in the unlikely event that you feel the single chassis Pass is not a significant enough improvement ...
