Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
Thomas what about the 845 tube. Same success 
New Wilson - Wamm Master
Wow I heard the MSB mono amps at CES three years ago on the Rockport Altair's. The worst sound I ever heard. Dark, dark, dark like you put a cloth over the speakers. I actually thought the speakers were defective.  The next day at CES the Absolare... 
Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS
I am using an Absolare preamp with my Krell FPB 650 and its a match made in heaven. 
Warm-up time for amps and preamps
I third you on the scotch and raise you on a fine French burdeux  
Tascam DA-3000
I did buy the Benchmark A/D converter and have the Tascam connected as a slave. Yes the sound is better to me using the Benchmark. I am using 24/176 as the benchmark does not do DSD. 
Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3
Sujay I would not just be worried about a speakers bass integrating well into a listening room. You need to hear every speaker before you buy. MM speakers I believe use ceramic drivers which have a certain sound just as carbon fiber and other driv... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
When you finally get there let me know if you run into some more resistance (Hoffa)🤓 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I have no such problems in the highs with my Rockport Altair's. I'll put them up against any electrostat  or ribbon speaker. I hate Heil tweeters in all speakers I have heard them in. 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Again another review using headphones. 
Jazz at the Pawnshop
Jazz at pawn shop boring. You need to listen to Coletrane, Milt Jackson, Miles Davis, Adderly brothers, etc. 
Acoustic Zen, Reference 3A and ATC
Acoustic Zen would be my pick. I also feel the 3a's are a little forward sounding. I am not a fan of any of the ATC speakers as they use the cabinet to act as part of the sound. I personally do not want my box to add its own colorations to the music.

I do not stream my music so I couldn't give a rats a-s about MQA. MQA another concoction supported by the magazines that is not going to go anywhere. 
A.J. Conti of Basis Audio has passed away.
I thought this would be a better  year than last year as one of my favorite actors Leonard Nimoy (Spock) passed last year.  
Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000
Yes cardas adaptors. I'm not impressed with dsd even 2x. 24/176 I feel is much better.  
Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000
rushton, I have the Io also. I bought the a/d converter by Benchmark. I connect the Io into the Benchmark with rca interconnects and then use a digital coax cable to connect to the Tascam 3000. Its set up as a slave so it lets the Benchmark do the...
