| Restored Fisher 400 - impressed I'm remembering now that I came really close to buying one about 5 years ago, and one thing that stopped me is those ancient binding posts. If I did buy one, I would have them changed for some modern ones as I did with my Mac 2105. | |
| Restored Fisher 400 - impressed mindlessminion,I know exactly what you mean. In 1976, I owned a pair of Klipschorns and borrowed my friends unmodded Fisher 400. Blown away may be an overused term, and nor very descriptive, but yes, I was. The sound was huge and very realistic, f... | |

| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio celander,I think nearly everyone who reads this is aware that reviewers get a substantial discount, and the "high value" comment assumes that the reader is looking for a component that is in the price range of the piece under review. If it isn't i... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Thanks Charles and Al. I have always felt that I have to trust people at some point without rock solid confirmation. I believe that he is telling the truth, and I intend to buy the Lab 12 as soon as I sell my Audio Note Kits 2.1 which I have loved... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Agree with everything that you said Charles. It's very human to share your knowledge and excitement, and that is one of the main purposes of these forums. I contacted Mike Kay on Saturday via email, and received a prompt response. I am really inte... | |
| What is the epic song of a group? I'm disappointed to see members mentioning not necessarily the most epic songs by a band, but rather the old, most popular hits that everyone knows by heart.I must agree with OP concerning Deep Purple and Child in Time. I think that would be their... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio teajay,I personally believe that your motive in starting this thread was to share your excitement about the performance of the Lab 12 DAC, and your belief that it would save interested members a lot of money. Period.If I am considered gullible for... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? zavato,I sold my Mac MC 300 to get it because there was so much hype at the time, and I felt so bad within 1 night. The member who sold it to me bought Mac 402 monos to replace it, and admitted to me on the phone that they sounded much better, and... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? johnto,It sounded thin and very "old school solid state" on 4 pairs of speakers that I owned at the time. I was later told that it would have sounded better if I had run it in balanced mode, but geez...It sure looked pretty though. | |
| Just wanted to introduce myself. This is all so interesting Ryan. I had a Sony TC-558 for many years and used it to make mix tapes of songs on albums. The sound quality was great. I'm all digital now but I love reading about this and have great memories of my machine and those days. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? I've had a few bummers over the years. The two biggest disappointments that come to mind are the Pass Labs X250.5, and the Reference 3A De Capo. | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition I'm betting that the answer is no, because they are handmade, and coming from Greece. | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition Good question grey9hound. | |
| David Lewis Audio--any customer experiences? They have a lot of good stuff for sure. I used to go there sometimes when I lived right outside of Philly. It was a little crowded but certainly adequate for auditioning speakers. The man himself is an unusual guy, but I'm sure that there are seve... |
