    EMM Labs DCC2 SE DAC still hold its own?

    Was wondering if anyone still uses this DAC or had recently? Seems to be very similar to the MA-3 with a better power supply (DAC wise) Can this DAC still hold it's own with todays DACs especially since you can find them dirt cheap? For the right price i'm intrigued to give it a go against...

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    I recently decided to upgrade my turntable. I had an old VPI Traveler. I was very interested in Michell tables. I really wanted the Gyro SE, but wasn't spinning my records a lot. So not sure it would be worth it to jump right in to the Gyro. I decided to start with the TecnoDec and if i feel i...

    SET amp owners thread

    Ken is a... interesting guy. i've had a couple experiences with him. Those look like Tango transformers though, anyone else think so? I know he used to use and promote Tango a lot. @jeff1225 You could check underneath and see if you can see the bottom of the transformer.

    Good question. This 6HJ5 is similar in spec to a 2A3, but i can re-tube the whole amp for under $80. It also sounds VERY close to my Sayes 421a. Had a 42, 45, & 46 from Sayes as well. Enjoyed them all but prob the 46 the most. It's always hard for me to remember how to compare the sound once...

    Omega Mikro Planar speaker cable alternatives?

    I just scored a used pair of Omega Mikro Planar V sc's after being intrigued with them and adding a pair of VI RCA IC's. Only a few hours on them but I love what i'm hearing. Amazing detail retrieval. (I'm using single driver Omega Super Alnico Monitors, seems like i'm drawn to things called...

    Whither MQA

    The biggest issue with MQA in my opinion wasn’t that it was lossy, but trying to bring back DRM into music. Change a couple bits and stuff and force the industry to pay a royalty/fee to “unfold” it. Seriously?

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    Cool observation! I thought this as well as an old school NBA fan, but the league is purely entertainment and have started to enjoy the new format.

    New Audigon Service Fee

    I rarely do stuff like this but AG has become so full of it I submitted a report to the FTC. they are zeroing in on “junk fees” proliferating the economy and the buyers fee falls under this. Especially with the fact it’s technically a “surprise” fee since you have no idea what it’s going to be...
