| Reliability of brand I've not had a ton of repair experiences but I have experienced incredibly fast turnaround from Bryston. As far as Mac, I am fortunate- I can make it up to Binghamton, spend the day in Binghamton, and come back after dinner all in one day. With my... | |

| I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell I saw you ad- it says as is and does not work. And the buyer is upset it does not work? Maybe a burned motor when the buyer tried to open the drawer. This buyer will make your life hell unless you take it back. I sell a fair amount on eBay and my ... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? So- to update this old thread I started years ago, the cap and LED work I had done in 2017 turned out to be $125 or so. In March 2020, but before NY went into lockdown, I sent my tuner to AC for Rich Modaferri to wave his magic wand over it. I’ve ... | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? I have no reluctance to buying on line but I’m not going to use a brick and mortar store as an auditioning studio then take my business to an online seller. As far as supporting a local brick and mortar store, I have no problem trying to direct my... | |
| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? I was a confirmed Magneplanar listener for many years. Nothing seems as open and transparent. Box speakers just didn’t compare, yet box speakers had advantages to- more satisfying dynamics for one thing.All that changed for me in 2000 when I heard... | |
| Anyone using an external streamer with a Bricasti M12 or M21? I also installed the MDx board in my Bricasti DAC- an M1. All I can say is mama mia- run, don’t walk, do it, if you’ve got the $700 to spare at the moment | |
| What's your profession? Age? Recently turned 60. My interest in stereos and music predictably go back to my teen years- first heard of AR, KLH, Dual etc. around 1974. Cobbled together a system in 1975 or 1976 out of old bits and pieces. By 1977 I bought a basic system - recei... | |
| Connecting laptop to dac via usb- gear on or off? I certainly only make the connection with gear off. I was just curious if anyone had ever explicitly been told to do so (as I was by the dac manufacturer) | |
| Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC Maybe it depends on which old board you have or if maybe they have figured a way to recycle the old board and make a few $i have no problem sending my old board back. I find Bricasti a very good company to deal with. Any issues or questions always... | |
| Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC Just put in a newly installed MDx board in my M1. The M1 has always been stunning, but I’d say the MDx brings extra precision, yielding impressive and clean dynamics, to the table. Clean clear but without any hint of brightness or glare. Reminds m... | |

| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system Not big into formulas, but I am big into what sounds good and works well together. | |
| Tuner into Cable jack? Decades ago- in the 90's, my cable company did offer FM through the cable, but it was noisy ground loop hum. There was a device I bought that addressed that without killing the signal. Fast forward- a year or 2 ago out of curiosity, I tried again... | |
