Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
I'm enjoying your updates. Fun times with new gear, always an adventure.

@mbolek You have a great system as well, seems like this whole discussion thread is full of people with good taste. I bet those Nova 5s sound amazing. I used to have their Guarneri Homage monitors a few decades back and still wish I held onto thos...

@samureyex Nice system there, love those Summit X. And I agree, the pictures don't really capture the metallic sleeving very well. I had the same thing when I first ordered from Cabledyne back in the day, where I was expecting a simple silver colo... 
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Thanks for the interesting stories. I guess it's yet another situation in life where we think everything is great until some issue comes up, and then we get to find out how good/bad the company is when it comes to service and support. Unfortunate...

@samureyex Congrats, that should be fun. What amp and speakers and such are involved?  
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Oh that's interesting. I was not aware of that. Seems like it should have been an easy fix with firmware updates so not sure how the ball got dropped so badly there. Especially since McIntosh is not some fringe tiny brand with few users. I've used... 
New Eversolo DMP-A10
@jjtarnow The A8 already sounds excellent, so there's nothing wrong with sticking to that one. I think the room correction in the A10 might be a big deal for some people and totally unwelcome for other people, so that really depends. Build quality...

@samureyex That's tempting but probably won't happen until 2025. I already have some Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme that I'm pretty happy with. Is that enough though? Of course not. Which is why I also have a few different speaker cables th...

@samureyex Thank you, I don't always know how to describe what I hear but it's  still fun to try. Hopefully my ramblings are useful to someone.  I can see how some systems would favor the WyWires Diamond over the Veritas Argentum R. I actually fe... 
Eversolo DMP-A8
Loving my A8 as well! I find the internal DAC to be very satisfying if not quite the best thing ever. I had a $4.5k Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary DAC in that system and I did notice the difference in character, but it wasn't drastic. Sold the Wyr... 
Merason dac MK1 on audio mart
Sorry for your bad experience, scammers are the worst. Don’t let it sour you on 2nd hand purchases in general or especially on the Merason which is a fantastic device. Sounds like you did all the usual things to be responsible so I wouldn’t feel t...

Now that I’ve spent some time with the Veritas Argentum R, I wanted to share my thoughts in a bit more detail. To start, I was originally using the Eversolo DMP-A8 paired with a Holo Audio Bliss headphone amp, driving the Raal Requisite CA-1a head...

@denon1 What gear are you using it with? Just out of curiosity.   
Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why?
Another vote for the Larsens, or the older Sjofn HiFi Clue standmounts, or Audio Note, or some of the Gradient models, and a bunch more I am forgetting.   
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Haven't heard the Blades but when it comes to the little LS50 compared to the newer LS50 Meta... I felt like the Meta was just a bit different, not really any better or worse. Not sure how that translates to the Blade though. I like the idea post...
