Hi audiofeil, thanks for clarifying with the info. I didn't expect many comments on the Canary as it is new model. The remote from the photo does have a 'cheap" appearance to it. Unlike the Cayin remote which is 1st class. I never use a remote though. Good to know its made in the USA.
I brought up the tube and cap differences more to point to tech aspects, and agree may have zero bearing on sound quality. I will say I prefer tube players vs ss, everytime. The caps in the Cayin look like toys compared to the Hovlands. But as you say it may hvae absoluetly no bearing on music outcome.
The list/retail price thing I find very confusing. When I bought my Jadis from Northstar/USA dealer, he always had to make a calculation, Pierre does the "discount" calculation also. I just don't get it. I guess its for accounting purooses. Just tell me the retail price, I could care less what the "list" ?? price is.
So is $1400 correct?
What I was trying to also say is that the 2 units are close (equal) in price. Both are tube. Thus the comaprare. The chinese guy also told me "in that price range you can do better" and he mentioned a name I don't like. I prefer tubes and thats what this topic is about. Tube players under $2K.
I'll look at the 6mons review. I thought their review of the Cayin A88 was SUPER and the best review I've read on any eqip, ever. Really surprised me the style and method of review.
Audiofeil can you help direct me to the 6moons review of the CanaryCD100. I can't seem to find it
