Questions About Speakers
I recently gave my brother a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto from around 2000.   Still look and sound great.    A lot has to do with the inherent quality of parts and materials used and the climate/ environment they are in , but speakers can last a ... 
Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far
Anyone interested in Eversolo should read their forum.  Tons of bugs with each "update"     You pay $899 for their base model and get a lot less than $899 worth of support.   Buy an innuos or Aurender and save yourself future headaches  Why are t... 
Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far
Eversolo has a number of FW issues.  First turn off EOS if you are having problems with an external DAC.   Known USB problems with Chord, McIntosh , and several other brands.  Set DSD to DoP also when troubleshooting USB issues if you are trying U... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
I have a 65"   could never go back.   Never been a better time to buy a TV.   The cheap ones are good and the better ones are awesome.     
Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up....
When I demo'd the P3 it had a Ortofon Blue.   It sound excellent but I think I remember the dealer saying it needed a shim to accommodate the cartridge height     
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I mounted  two 75"  TVs for a friend this week.    His "stereo"  was a $260 sound bar / sub.  It sounded horrible....  what do you say to a friend?   Nothing.  "Way better than TV speakers"  is what I said.    For them it was great.   Such a small...

Priceless if you have an Amp that uses them....    
New Eversolo DMP-A10
I asked Eversolo if they can remotely access the device to correct the problem like Aurender and Innuos can....  no response.     They suck.    Absolute worst customer service in my 40 years in this hobby.   
Speaker List narrowed down…
I have never heard of Amherst Audio.   Are they former Spearit Sound guys?    
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Remember, when buying a streamer you are buying a package. Hardware and support. The best hardware is junk without good software to control it The frustrating part is it’s not my A6, it’s my Dad’s. I told him to buy a Bluesound , Innuos , or Aure... 
Macintosh MA352 vs PrimaLuna 300 EVO Hybrid
Personally I like the 352.  I know some people are turned off by it's looks but it's a very good sounding amp.    I have owned a few used  mcintosh and I enjoyed them.  I always got more than what I paid when i sold them too .  How many companies... 
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Other DACs too. Some resolved , some not.  I thought it was a great box until that issue    Interim fix is to not use USB and use Coax but that not really a fix. Their suggestion was to roll back firmware and turn off updates.  Good fix …… I got ... 
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Eversolo A6 and A8 don’t recognize McIntosh USB DACs since June.  Several FW and still not resolved.  Anyone spending $3700 on an Eversolo will be disappointed with the level of suppprt for the money.     Aurender or Innuos if you want support co... 
When I listen to my system.......
It's all good...   that's weird it looks like there is no longer an edit icon  
From Sonus Faber Extrema to...
I don't think what you get for them plus a couple of grand would put you where you want to be.  Easy to make a regrettable,  lateral move with that scenario.    I would also pair them with a really good sub. A REL , maybe a S/510 or S/812.  That ...
