A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler
Thanks for the advice! I have a Tidal subscription but use it mostly in my car via Apple CarPlay - so I guess that is streaming from iPhone to the car’s audio system via Bluetooth - not the most audiophile approach, but hey, it’s a car... I have ...

You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them?
When researching equipment you cannot see in person, YouTube influencers play an important role in showing and speaking about that component.  Sometimes they are nothing more than glorified infomercials, but even that helps with your research. I ...

Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
Graphs and measurements can be important - but they are not the be all and end all.  I remember reading a long review on Audio Science Review Forum that gave an exhaustive analysis of a myriad of measurements and then made conclusions and recommen...

quest for speaker upgrade
Verity Audio ceased operations in Dec 2023 but there are still some speakers available in the supply chain (dealers, distributors) as well as the used market. They have a great reputation for reliability, and I would have no hesitation in buying ...

Another vote for a Canadian made iconic speaker company:  Verity Audio.  I have been enjoying VA Parsifal Ovations since 2010. Verity Audio speakers are engaging, detailed, effortlessly musical and easy to listen to for long periods without fatig...

A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler
I have a Luxman-D06 cd player that I bought new in 2010 (when I also purchased a L-509u + Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation speakers).  After 6 or 7 years I used the D-06 as a transport, but as it has only a TOSLINK digital out I eventually replaced i...

When discussing Accuphase and Esoteric cd players, should one not also add Luxman to the list of excellent Japanese brands?  The Luxman D-10x and D-07x look promising.
