| Need help choosing a new DAC Hello, terrapin77. I'd like to chime in with my thoughts. I think your list of candidates is a pretty decent selection of DACs to choose from. Based on what I've either read or actually heard in the past couple years, you'd likely be happy wit... | |
| Hapa Audio I hope you all don't mind my adding my impressions of the Hapa Audio Quiescence C and Quiescence S interconnects. This is the same review I wrote on AC, so if you've already read it, there's nothing new here. I'd like to point out that I have not ... | |
| SW1X dacs Ted,I, too, own an upgraded DAC III (DAC III+). It began life as a DAC III STD, but I sent it back for the upgrade last Fall after 'enthusiastic encouragement' from Wig. [Thank you!!] I cannot put into words how happy I am with this DAC. The US Do... | |
| How Could I Get A Mivera Audio Purestream and Superstream Serviced If Needed? Neonknight,I know a guy who lives close to Mike (and may still hang out with him).

| Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra? Chris,Hello. I only just now discovered this thread. Allow me to offer you a belated congratulations on acquiring one of Don's Model 2 preamps. I'm not at all surprised you've enjoyed its sound.

| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Hello, 'Markus'.It appears as though you and I might be able to get together in May or June of 2021 to compare our preamps (so long as you haven't found someone else with a DS Model 2 nearby). I anticipate that I'll have been vaccinated by then.H... | |
| Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines budburma,Hello. I just noticed this thread. I thought I'd add my two cents because all three of my favorite pieces have been mentioned. However, I cannot provide the comparisons you seek.The AC threads in which Don's Model 2 and/or Kootenay 120 we... | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? Another offering from Taiwan: The ARRIBA P-1008 and P-2008 with two 12AU7 tubes in each unit.I auditioned the P-1008 three years ago. It's quite good. The spec page is mandarin with no option to translate into English. http://www.kcr.com.tw/archiv... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? Kenjit,Buy a pair of Daedalus Audio speakers. Real wood; damned fine sounding IMHO. I love my Daedalus Apollos. | |
| Tube DAC ? I can't speak for your system, but I've heard two different tube DACs in my system. [My preamp and amp are both made by Don Sachs. My speakers are Daedalus Audio Apollos.] The two DACs were a Lampizator Atlantic with volume control and my SW1X Aud... | |
| People and Place: A review of SW1X DAC @ seminarianExcellent review. I'm delighted for you.As you know, I'm struggling with how to describe what I hear with my DAC III STD. I may just have to plagiarize your review and pretend it's mine. I haven't listened to much Classical, but I've f... | |
| NOS DAC Journey - SW1X DAC III STd Too cool, guys!Far off in the distance and in time, I sense a new entity taking shape; a piece added here, a solder point there, a black face plate, a low serial number....could it be yet another new SW1X DAC III STD being assembled for a needy so... | |

| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? WRT atmasphere's statement, "I have exactly that in mind."....I might be very interested in such a creation. I hope I'm paying attention when it's announced - hopefully in 2018(?).Michael | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Hello, blindjim.I won't try to dissuade you from the Poseidons, but I'd like to direct your attention to the new Daedalus Apollo speakers. I spent a good five hours comparing the Argos, Poseidons, and Apollos in Lou's workshop/showroom about a mon... |
