    Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

    If i buy a single 8c of the old DAC, can i mix that with a newer 8C with the newer dac and turn them into a pair? or are they incompatible? thanks

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    can anyone compare the remote control range and angles vs the e30. i use the e30 for my TV system and it only works head on, within 10 feet and not very responsive even then. would upgrade if the remote was more powerful, flexible and responsive.

    VTV Purifi 1ET400A updates

    just to play devils advocate perhaps the original buffers exposed something to you already in the system and that the sparkos hide that element through distortion which is why you found them preferable?

    Rega Fono MM MK3 Phono Preamp Review

    I have a parasound 3 jr. which i would like to see how it measures. shipping to amirm might cost a bit though. specs on their site say "Incredible S/N up to 94 dB and THD less than 0.02%"

    Options for Preamplifier?

    I always thought before the Schiit came out that Wyred stp-se was the best used transparent preamp. around 1000$ lots of functions (no phono), xlr, balance, remote and transparent sound. Its not been measured here however. I have one which I am going to use for my tv system after upgrading to...

    Stereos We Used to Have (Fun)

    smga - i still listen to mine every night, including right now, as they have been my tv speakers for over 15 years. i upgraded the xovers in 2007 but apparently measurements would not show an improvement... i like them anyway.
