Fedex Customs problem
This is my recent experience with international shipping and customs with DHL. It took nearly 2 months for my package to leave the point of origin (where my package had been dropped off). It was another 2 months before my package arrived at my hom... 
My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital
@sns - Well said. That has been my experience too. Right now my streaming setup is the best, but I could put more effort into my analog front end and maybe then it would be king of the roost. Back and forth it goes. 
Cat Scratch Fever?
I interpret the lyrics to Stranglehold as being about a man whose woman left him and the man gets his revenge:You remember the night that you left meYou put me in my placeGot you in a stranglehold babyLast night I crushed your faceI never thought ... 
Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables?
I bought my SP10 MK3 from Steve Dobbins. He recommended the 12 inch Fidelity Research tonearm to me. I might have bought one if I could have found one in nice condition at a good price. I went with a Reed 3Q arm, which is wonderful.In the $5k to $... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
Thanks mitch2. Tonight, my EVO is presenting an even more holographic soundstage. I am really enjoying it. I think I found the problem with the pops and ticks. My usb cable is heavy and somewhat inflexible. It was not making a good connection with... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
I got my Evo B4B21 last week. I have over 100 hours on it. It must still be breaking in. I am using a Laufer Teknik Memory Player with Roon streaming ripped cd files, Quoboz, and Tidal. At first, there were a lot of ticks and pops. It was kind of ... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
@divertiti - I will be getting my Evo in 2-3 weeks if all goes well.  I currently have a Mojo Audio Mystique v.3 which has been a mainstay in my system for the past 2 years. I was able to do an extensive comparison of the Mystique v.3 to some othe... 
Reed 2gTonearm Torn Wire & rewiring HELP please
You're welcome. I will check in on this thread to see how your repair went and I will let you know how mine went too. 
Reed 2gTonearm Torn Wire & rewiring HELP please
I just sent my tonearm to Reed, it is on its way as I type. Contact Ruta at Reed, she can guide you on what to do. In my case, I bought mine used, and the original dealer no longer sells Reed. The distributor would not handle the repair, so I had ... 
TIDAL on SALE!
Thank you mofimadness for the heads up! I had cancelled Tidal a few months ago. I was able to use my old Tidal email address and password to login to Tidal through my Roon account. All the albums from Tidal that I had put into my Roon library befo... 
Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos?
My Dolby Atmos system, one that uses a Marantz receiver and Triad speakers, sounds better to me than my previous system (all Meridian) that used older codecs. Your Krell processor is about the same age as my Meridian processor. I bought my Marantz... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
@c_avila1 It is my understanding that the PCB's were re-designed to allow for capacitor upgrades. The PCB's are supposed to be stiffer, for one thing, and if I remember right, he said they were going to be elevated, but I might be wrong. Benjamin ... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
@mitch2 - Wondering if you sealed the deal and if you went for the older aluminum chassis, (which is being offered with a 10% discount off the entire purchase), or if you went for the new ferrous chassis (no discount offered)? As for me, I have ow... 
Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x
With all due respect erik-squires, you are exaggerating and misrepresenting the repairability of Esoteric transports. The complaints only have to do with certain older models, with the early generation X-03 being one of them. TAP can repair the mo...
