| Solo streamer @rvpiano where did you order your Shunyata cable from? I called a couple of sites in the US (Cable Company, Music Direct) - gave me a lead time of 3-4 weeks. I have a friend traveling over to Dubai from NY end of next week- so trying to see if I c... | |
| Solo streamer @lalitk am guessing the pun was intended. Good one. | |
| Solo streamer @lalitk the upgrade itch strikes everyday. I try to control it. Fortunately, the audition today helped in that. Right now I have 2 speakers on order- the Qualio IO and The Omega Junior 8. Hopefully once I have them, especially with the former I ca... | |
| Solo streamer thank you @rvpiano @audphile1 & @lalitk for the quick response. Taking advantage of the family traveling and being alone, went over to a HiFi shop here in Dubai and did an impromptu audtion. Preamp: Parasound JC2, Power Amp: Parasound JC5, D... | |
| Solo streamer @audphile1 @rvpiano have followed this thread with interest. tempts me to go and buy an Aurender N200 right now. But a bit out of my budget. @audphile1 or others - any views on the N150? Or any other streamer in the $3k-4k range? regards, Manu | |

| Borresen Loudspeakers @jayctoy thank you. I am torn between the X1 and the L1. The cost difference is 2x. Can listen to the L1s in the Dubai in Sep. Will wait and then decide. Happy listening on your X1s. Manu | |
| Modern Covers of Classics @jc4659 amazing recommendation. thank you. @ezwind +2 on Cat Power Sings Dylan. Have it on vinyl. It could, just could be one of those where the covers give a very close run to the originals... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I listened to the X1 with the Forte 1 in Dubai last weekend. Very good. For the size they are, they do surprise you. For the folks on this thread who have bought the X1- are you still enjoying them? Additionally, has one had an opportunity to lis... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics I started looking at covers recently. Created two playlists. One with covers only- multiple for a song. And one, where each original is followed by one cover- the one in my view is the best (for me). Both of them might not have the modern covers a... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @teajay, really enjoy reading your posts. I am relatively new to this- only about a year. And the first post of yours which influenced me was the one on Coda S5.5. I really wish I could buy it- but here in Dubai, where I am based- not possible. Wa... | |
| Close, but no cigar ... I would put Audio Note on this list for sure. I auditioned the Cobra integrated at home- the grip and tightness blew me away. One day will get to it. Mac keep on thinking about it- but find it a bit bulky for my space. Another one I have and love ... | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? My first speakers when I got into HiFi were Dalis- Spektor 6. Not cheap and not expensive for sure- around $1k. They weee paired with a Vincent SV200 and a Blusound Node N130. Now they are connected to my TV via an old Pioneer amp - in stereo and ... | |
| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC @helomech and @kingbr interesting to read your recommendation. I have the Eversolo A6 (regular) and got a Topping D70 Octo Pro. I couldn’t figure out if the sound improved or changed for that matter but I do really like the functionality of the To... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? @ozzy62 can I ask how much did you get them used for? also which country are you based in? I am in Dubai- trying to find them- used is going to be tough but still looking... regards Manu |
