Upgrade from Rega Elys 2
Hello, I’ve had a 2M Black on my Rega for a awhile and loved it. It has tons of detail, great dynamics, and generates a robust signal that lowers the perceived noise floor. All in all, a fantastic cart.Regards,Oran 
Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ?
Hello all,    What an enjoyable thread! I bought a restored Sansui 9090 and a pair of Wharfdale Dentons for our new bar that we installed in our cafe/restaurant last year. The sound is great, especially for a commercial environment, but it's a gre... 
Which amp for Energy Veritas v2.3i?
I I agree. I have one of those NAD's in my bakery/cafe and we use and abuse the heck out of it, usually driving 2 pairs of speakers. Not only does it sound great, but it's been so rock solid reliable. 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Giving up drugs and alcohol twelve years ago has allowed me to enjoy this hobby, and indeed, has made it possible. I may not have some of the extreme thrills that others get, and I'm sure not morally opposed to whatever adults put in their bodies,... 
Please help ...integrated amp under $1200
hi tboy,    I've been streaming tidal since it became available in the US and I love it. Steaming from a Sonos Connect to a decent DAC will get you much of the way to a very expensive system. And, I sure do like the huge variety of streaming servi... 
Luxman L-590AX
Hey Rockpanther,    I had a Luxman L-550 AX for a good while and loved it. I just want to say that the tone controls on the Lux are superbly implemented, as are all of its features. I never bought into the Audiophile ethic that eschews everything ... 
Purchasing from Japan
Sorry, guess I never answered your question. I DID ask that question and was told that the module works with units configured for any voltage. And there was absolutely no indication on the manual or box indicating for a specific voltage. I bought ... 
Accuphase Integrated Amp - E600 or E470
I have an E-470 AND a pair of ATC SCM 19s. I haven't heard the E-600, but I just can't imagine a better match. ATC's do like a lot of juice and the E-470 sure delivers. 
'outboard' high end dac's
Send it to Modwright Instruments and let Dan work his magic on it! I love the rich tonality, sublime clarity, and sheer musicality of my modified 105D.Cheers,Oran 
Purchasing from Japan
Hi Muziekliefhebber,    Congratulations on your E-600! These Accuphase components are just amazing. From the iconic look, its top-notch fit and finish, and the sublime sound, Accuphase kit is just spectacular. I bought the Accuphase DAC module fro... 
Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland
greginnh,    I just installed both modules, the DAC and the AD-30 phono module. My usual DAC is a Modwright Oppo105D, it's been fun to compare the two. Both are phenomenal, but different. It's a little redundant, but now listening to streaming fro... 
Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland
I've always had decent gear, NAD, Cambridge Audio, etc. Then I had a Luxman integrated that sounded great but never quite had the oomph to really drive my ATC SCM 19's. I sold that and replaced it with a Calyx The Integrated. Class D, precise, nic... 
Tonearm/cartridge is a theramin. Suggestions?
I just thought I'd conclude this thread in case anyone reads through it for a similar problem. The problem was a hobby light! Plugged in on a different circuit, and switched off! This cheap, terribly designed, piece of junk threw off just a shocki... 
Accuphase DA-40
I just installed a DAC-40 module in my E-470. I ordered it from the eBay seller iseshima_japan. It was $1,120, delivered DHL and I was shocked at how fast it arrived, like three days! This is what would be called a grey market purchase, and I've a... 
Purchasing from Japan
inna,    I appreciate the question. In this particular case I assume that the product was not obtained illegally. Of course, that is an assumption. And I understand that this sale might seem like it would take the same sale away from a U.S. author...
