The Music Room
I have receipts, I just have to figure out where they are. From now on I'll be more organized. @allenf1963 Here's a list of the gear: 1. Primare Pre32 preamplifier with manual, power cord and remote. 8/10 condition.  Original boxes. 2. Musical F...

Looks like payments via Zelle require a lot of trust because there's no buyer recourse if things go sideways. Probably not much recourse for the seller either. And Stripe declares you're a business (which I'm not). Maybe I'll dig through my record...

Thanks all, for your input. I guess I'll inquire and see what they propose.  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I took a closer look at the invoice Clayton emailed to me and the No. he gave was 225, so I'm feeling better  :)  Greatly enjoyed the review, vthokie83!   
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I placed my order January 11th and have the order number 1089...makes me wanna cry. How can that be? I talked to Clayton 2/28 and he said, "give it a couple of months." So I'm hoping to get my walnut Caladans in April (but maybe not until May).  
What songs do you listen to to test a system's midrange performance?
Great recommendations, everyone. I've always liked that first song by Brubeck. I haven't heard it for decades because I never knew the name of the artist until now. I see a purchase in the near future. And I love steel string guitar. Along with Fr... 
Gary Wright has passed away
On skate dates my husband and I couple-skated to "Dream Weaver." R.I.P. Gary.  
What was your first record?
Diana Ross and the Supremes, "Merry Christmas." I got that album when I was 12 years old on Christmas morning along with a new turntable. Still have it today. No scratches! Also got on 45, "Get Me to the Church on Time," with flip side, "Down the ... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
Sorry about the confusion. But yes, Denafrips denied me the upgrade. I didn't ask for it. They brought it up. I asked about possible future USB input upgrades. They asked for an order record saying they couldn't find one for me. When I told them I... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
@dman1974 Am I the only one who purchased a used DAC? I'm just telling my experience, which others in the same boat might find relevant. I'm unable to get the FPGA upgrade because I'm the "3rd" owner. Are you aware of a way to download the upgrade... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
In April I made an inquiry asking if the developers had ever considered changing the input USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 on the Terminator Plus DAC for those of us still using a computer/HQ Player combo and was sent this: "I can’t trace your terminator orde... 
Certain frequencies hurt
@ erik_squires I did not change power cords to "fix" my ears hurting. The ears started hurting "after" installing new power cords. I got upgraditis and thought changing the generic power cords for "better ones" would increase SQ. The solid state a... 
Certain frequencies hurt
Haven't been to an audiologist in decades. I'll make an appointment. Thanks. Weird though, that the pain doesn't occur with headphones.  
Certain frequencies hurt
I'm open to suggestions. The ears hurt when listening to certain frequencies thru my speakers so my solution was headphones, since they don't hurt. Like I said I've changed out power cords, DAC and power amp all in the last few months. Wouldn't th...
