DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?
This is my original post called What's Up. And I'm the asshole? Go look at Jjss49's response. Not only will I stop following this crap, I'm leaving Audiogon completely. The jerk and his supporters can pretend it was me, but some of you are smart e... 
DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?
Before I received the advice to replace the DAC and not the CD transport, I had listed my entire system on a thread I called "What's Up?". So that info was there for the critic to analyze. You know and I know that didn't happen. A belief in the Ch... 
DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?
Found the Border Patrol for $900, so it seemed like a good addition. A concern was the Beryllium tweeters paired with a highly detailed, extremely precise DAC. The BP is not nearly as 'precise' as some. Again I will mention that this thread came ... 
DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?
That Denafrips caught my eye a while ago. If the DAC was on the table I would likely agree and get one...  
What's Up?
Well forum members. Since jjss49 has hijacked my thread, I'll post another one about the Chord versus Border Patrol.  
What's Up?
And here we go. Seems like I get more suggestions concerning parts of my system I am not messing with while responders avoid the part(s) I am thinking about... lol. Maybe data types dislike the Border Patrol but I find it be very musical and analo... 
NuPrime Customer Service
Summit Hi Fi said I would hear from this guy named Ralph about having this serviced. That was a week ago and I have heard absolutely nothing from this Ralph person.   Not a chance I would buy a NuPrime product or use Summit Hi Fi again! We are i... 
Gaia versus Mapleshades
Looks like my choice is neither. I was unaware of the expense involved in better Mapleshade feet and Gaia IIIs. For my level of system investment, I need to be a bit more frugal. The Solidair Audio suggestion pops up in UK money, and that likely m... 
NuPrime Customer Service
Evening update: The seller, Summit Hi-Fi USA, tells me they will arrange service or work something out on this CD transport. We shall see...  
Go Ahead and Laugh at Me
Thanks to all. I was SAFE and not SORRY! The number 115 in the window and good to go. No, not Topping. This was a Nu Prime CDT9 with the Nu Prime LPS-212 power supply. And Larry5729... I posted this while WAITING for the retailer to return my call.  
Doge (China to USA) Tariff
From the Doge site (you click on the USA flag under Taxes and Tarrifs): "Most of you probably heard about the “trade war” between USA and China. Because China has higher taxes than USA on many products (policy decided in 2000 at the time China en... 
CD Transports: anything in between?
Mesch: I am sure you are right, but I learned that the US distributor for Nu Prime is Summit Hi Fi - USA. So I ordered it from there this morning. Thanks...  
CD Transports: anything in between?
Well I'll be. I ordered, paid for, and expected a delivery confirmation for a Nu Prime CDT9  and the 212 power supply from The Cable Company. I just learned from 'sales' and then 'procurement' that they may or may not actually have access to a uni... 
CD Transports: anything in between?
Thanks for the suggestions. We have a winner. I will order the Nu Prime CDT9 with that LPS- 212 this weekend (4/17/22). Now I get to find an interconnect between the Nu Prime and a Doge 7 Mk2 DAC (RCA version). So XLR or SPDIF cable needed. One p... 
CD Transports: anything in between?
coralkong: I know nothing about the Yamaha line. Tried to grab a Rega Apollo on US Audio Mart for a friend. Canada shipping was ridiculous and the seller was sorta wishy washy. With my help this friend nabbed an Audiolab 6000CDT (his first piece) ...
