| The longest you have owned any gear? My first high end speaker was the Paradigm studio 20v1 monitor, I owned that speaker for 12 years it followed me around from city to city and always played faithfully. | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac The Cambridge CXC is a fine transport for the money. All of my CD are played back from my Aurender server which is excellent, but from time - to - time I still enjoy spinning the sliver disc and the CXC does a great job. However, if you have SACD ... | |

| Intigrated Amp Dilemma The Modwright KWI -200 is a really good IA, it has plenty of good clean power to drive virtually any speaker with ease. Like the Pass & MF IA's, the Modwright has plenty of inputs and has room for a DAC module if you prefer. | |
| $10K-15K short list? Consider Daedalus Argos, excellent, near, full range speaker. | |
| CD players = dead? I finally purchased a DAC, and then a server I thought the sound was as good as my CDP, so I sold my CDP. I still enjoy listing to CD'S so I went with the Cambridge transport and now have the best of both formats. I don't think CD's are going away... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation Add a pair of Rythmik F-12G subs and be done. Excellent performance at around 1k. That's my biased 2c. | |
| Strange classified responses E-Bay sucks for sellers, they charge 10% fee when sold and 10% fee on shipping costs. I have an AVR listed there, and on other sites, and so far, like the OP, a parade of tire kickers and low ballers with very strange questions. So it's not the... | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Can't go wrong with Pangea, well made affordable quality PC. I have them throughout my system and they are a nice step up from stock PC's. | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars If you don't mind independent dealers then Salk, Selah and Daedalus all make fine speakers in your price range. | |
| Tips on dealing with audio dealers Typically the manufacturer ships the product to their dealer....then the dealer ships it to you. This isn’t a loaner program, you now own it. Some audio stores will have gear that they may send you, but each one will have their own rules and condi... | |
| morrow ma1 interconnect I do not get the anger from the OP? He purchased an entry level cable, doesn't like it. So just sell the damn thing. There is no need to thrash Morrow cable, just so that you can express your dissatisfaction that the cable failed to meet your stan... | |
| Help choosing integrated The Modwright KWI-200 is also worth putting on your list. The Modwright IA has plenty of power to drive your Focal's (very fine speakers) to audio bliss. This IA has a tilt to the warm side and in the used market is well below the price points of ... | |
| Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review @ calvinjSo far the Veritas is a fine DAC. My main use for it is for Red Book playback only, so far no streaming. I was looking for a DAC that sounded as good as my Esoteric CDP and I have not been disappointed. The sound is nice and clean. . . i... | |
| Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review Very nice write up on the Mirus DAC.I have it's little brother the "Veritas" which has a single ESS9028PRO DAC chip, instead of the dual DAC chip in the Mirus Pro. |
