| Problem with CEC transport Blessing in disguise I owned several CEC transports over the decades. Belt stretching was the issue FF to late 2024, I bought a Shanling ET3 transport new from their www- MSRP $750. It is amazing | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER I weigh the cost beyond the dac itself: space/shelf for it, power cord, IC, footers, all of which can easily cost an extra $1000+++ Knowing that from owning several separate dac/pres I was excited to finally buy a Audio Alchemy DDP 1- and 5 month... | |
| Billie Holiday's Birthday! Too many to list | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @wturkey I initially bought the the DDP sans the optional outboard power supply (only because the seller didn't have one). I knew from past experience that a quality PS was a huge improvement. After many months, I decided to contact AA direct... | |
| Shanling ET-3 owners - a couple of questions, please Odd, I replied to this thread weeks ago, but it's not here. I upgraded from a Audiolab 6000 CDT, which was great value- bought it for $325 including shipping, but the ET3 is in a whole nother league. IMO the weak link is the lid which has mechanis... | |

| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design A lot will depend on the crossover. See Danny (GR Research) many YTVs showing how bad most well known speaker brands XOs are | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? If you're not afraid of buying from Ali-Express, I personally have bought cables, ICs (XLRs) and PCs from them. It's very hard to beat their prices v quality. I bought a variety, one in particular is Xangsane hifi xlr cable 4N pure silver 2 * 0.5... | |
| Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new @kennyc Totally agree. I have owned a DDP-1 for ~ 3 years, but when I bought it the seller did not hve the PS5. I took ~ 6 months before I located one. It's must have addition. I have made lots of change over the 3 years, the AA clearly revea... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp @jaymark +1 for his recommendation, especially now that PSA has brought the MSRP down to earth | |
