Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey whoopycat, Great question! You might find it shocking that the Pass Labs DAC-1 performance is quite close to the present day reference level DACs. I hate using percentage statements, but I would say the DAC-1 gives you close to 85% of the sta...

Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey cleeds, I would not refer to my excitement about this DAC as a "hard sell". I have been a Audiogon member for years and professional reviewer for fifteen years. I try to share information on products I review that I believe offer outstanding ... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey danager, That's a great question. The LTA Aero is a qualitative  shift to a much higher level of dynamics, clarity, 3D imaging, much more pristine timbres/colors, and bass extension then the MHDT DAC. LTA used import/sell the MHDT Orchid DAC ...

Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker
Just received a phone call from Jeff, who had discussed the System 2 speakers with me after reading my review. He purchased a pair and they have surpassed his highest expectations. He was running a pair of much more expensive speakers that he beli...

New Review on AricAudio amplifier & speakers
Hey lalitk, I agree with you that there is no "ultimate or best", but many wonderful pieces of gear on the market. However, Aric's new Spectre 12s are one of the 'best" speakers that I have experienced regarding how it performs with a SET amplifi...
