I need a new DAC! Advice/Recommendations?
@Peter(pbnaudio),That Vinshine DAC looks interesting. Wonder how it compares with the Holo Spring Level 3 DAC, since both are R2R DACs. I saw that they have 4 levels from SGD 888 to SGD 5600. Which one do you have? Can you please share your thoughts? 
2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
@nutty,That is correct. In anticipation of getting a new disc player in the next couple of months, I immediately ordered a set of XLR cables from Paul last week, as soon as I heard about his surgery. Got them today. Listening to my music with thos... 
Oppo UDP - 205
I am a bit hesitant right now about the digital options in front of me.Either I go with a $6-7k loudspeaker and a $4-5k SACD playerORgo with a $10k loudspeaker and the Oppo.People have suggested the second option. That way I can use the Oppo as a ... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@dragon_vibe,Sure, I can understand. I am curious as to which high end DACs did you compare the Oppo to. Can you provide in detail on what was missing with the Oppo and how much of a difference the high end DAC made? That will at least give us an ...

Tekton Double Impacts
@david_ten ,Still is.I was providing some advise on "passive preamps", which not many people use. So this was a helpful post. You have issues with helpful posts? 
Tekton Double Impacts
@lpretiring,Have you listened to the Electrons in your system? Tektons are highly sensitive loudspeakers (at least from the specs on the site). You should have no problem driving these with your Truth. What is your "source"? I say this because eve... 
“Invest” in Tekton?
@333jeffery, which line in my post is bashing the Tektons? I have even acknowledged the fact that I have not heard them. 
“Invest” in Tekton?
I am beginning to feel the same @missioncoonery . There is another thread asking recommendations for $25k loudspeaker pair. One of the "handful of owners" responded with Tekton Ulfs on 07/03. The OP, nor anyone else in the thread responded to that... 
Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection
bdp24,Of course musical tastes vary that's why we have so many genres and bands. I like most of Mark's work. 
Speakers for Room Size
@mat4150,I don’t think those speakers will overpower the room. You should be fine. 
Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection
but don't think much of his singing or songwriting @bdp24 , Chet or Mark? 
Oppo UDP - 205
@dragon_vibe ,Can you please explain the differences you are hearing between the Merlot and the Oppo 205? For the price difference, I would not be surprised, especially when the Merlot is a FGPA based that the designer can custom-code to their lik... 
$10K-15K short list?
@ricred1 ,Point noted and that makes sense.@dhanks,You have the EXACT thoughts that I do. A $10-$15k loudspeakers should last 10+years, more maybe. That is why it is difficult for me to lock to my next upgrade. I will take more efforts to hear som...
