All you Exogal fans ought to run out and order their new T-Shirt, a review of which is forthcoming on Dagogo. So much for new products. 
A DAC that ought to be better known: RME
Thanks for the info. I have been using the RME with a VTV Purifi Eval amp and have been delighted to this up update will be good.  
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
I just bought a VTV Purifi Eval 1 that will arrive tomorrow. The company seems to have their act together and I’d rather buy from an American manufacturer. I didn’t envision getting mixed up with a confusing array of upgrades so this model was att... 
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
I suggest you pursue this on Audio Science Review, a site that doesn’t subscribe to witchcraft. Most Audiogon contributors can’t waste enough money on ridiculous accessories touted by unscrupulous dealers.

Well it all worked out for the better. I sold off the outmoded and obsolete Exogal at a loss but replaced it with a Purifi based amp and an RME DAC. The sound is hugely improved for one third the price. Hugely. And I have the supreme luxury of bei... 
Adcom circa 1990 amp and preamp
It is really amazing to me how good all this old stuff is. I use a DAC now as a preamp so this isn't seeing much use. I used to sell Adcom while working through college--back then we used to sell it with Irving Fried's speaker line or Missions, us...

Hafler is another example of this phenomenon. Their amplifiers are very highly regarded by knowledgeable people. I have some new high quality components but would have no problems sticking with Adcom and Hafler. And now you can hook up your DAC to...

Guys, we are done here. Thanks for your comments both pro and con and also your patience. I know I sound obsessed but I don’t like getting pushed around and there was a lot of material to refute Mr. Jeff’s statements that some of you never conside...

steveashe, I used to run the 800 at a high level and learned that when a guy gives you the elbow at the break line you zap him otherwise everyone will do it. I want to expose Exogal for what it is so that the customers they are avoiding will see t...

Just send me what in your opinion and experience works best. If Doug approves of it that works for me fine. I guess then I discard the old, original remote. Thank you.The remainder of our disagreement you will have to negotiate with my attorney.

To all those who criticize ME please start this Exogal video at roughly 9:10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHvdme6wCAg&t=693sYou will see your Jeff in a Youtube Dagogo interview with Doug Schroeder discussing "user convenience" and saying t...

Agisthos, how is your elementary reading comprehension? You get screwed by some lying manufacturer and we will see how you like it.

One thing we need to get out in the open is that Jeff's allies here are industry insiders who know his background with Wadia and are sympathetic because they know Exogal is headed toward the same fate. Wadia made terrific products but even early o...

You are misrepresenting me as usual Jeff. So where is the remote you were going to send me? What is the different remote you now advertise on your website? You have steadfastly refused to send me a remote. I also asked for a refund on the Ion and ...
