    I believe the name of the track is fragment and it is the first track on the a side.

    2022 Mercedes EQS EV S-Class

    No Ron, it was not only the dealer and those at the dealer, but it was also MB corporate. Frankly the service advisors have always been good to deal with.

    2022 Mercedes EQS EV S-Class

    MERCEDES-BENZ is TERRIBLE! Before anyone purchases a new Mercedes I want to share my experiences of late with not only my dealer, but MB customer service. I have had a new MB almost every two years for quite some time and have always enjoyed the cars and service until the past few years. The...

    Doshi Tape Preamp Versus deHavilland Model 222 Mk. II

    It appears from what David has said that maybe you addressed those issues in your recent model. I have not tried the v3. Thanks for the advice, but I certainly would not make disparaging remarks without proof, which I do have. Try borrowing a MRL tape from someone who has one supposedly the...

    Doshi Tape Preamp Versus deHavilland Model 222 Mk. II

    David, the last time I used one it had very limited calibration available. Same with the Merrill. It is kind of like partly adjusting a phono cartridge. Also, for another discussion, I do not believe the MRL tapes are consistent or accurate.

    Doshi Tape Preamp Versus deHavilland Model 222 Mk. II

    The question you should be asking is whether or not you can fully calibrate using either of these.

    Ortofon A90

    I know many A90 users who are all enjoying their cartridge. You are getting bad information. Ortofon stands behind every cartridge they make with excellent customer service. It might be wise to avoid getting info like that from anyone other than the manufacturer themselves. Great cartridge.

    PNW NADAC Player demo opportunity

    Hi Kal, the NADAC can be ordered as a 2 or 8 channel player which actually has Roon built in. It really does not get more easy than that!

    PNW NADAC Player demo opportunity

    Hi Keith, Interesting. As the founder and former owner of Playback Designs, I've compared both players numerous times as well as with the newer Playback Designs components and I assure you something must have been amiss during your time with the Merging Technologies NADAC because there really...

    The best sound I have heard was found at Jacob Heilbrunn's house.

    Yes, of course. Jacob should be receiving a second pair soon. Michael is also very happy with his NHB-468 Monoblocks.

    The Ortofon Verismo Has Arrived!!!

    I believe that is a complete misconception. Ortofon does not imply that their cartridges have less life than other cartridges, they are honest and state that at about 1000 hours or so, the sound of the cartridge will slowly start degrading... just like any other high-end cartridge. I have an...

    The Ortofon Verismo Has Arrived!!!

    Sorry Peter, I thought I did. There was something I always loved about the A90 that I found different than most cartridges. There was a raw "live" sound to it that i cannot remember hearing before. It was almost like an un-engineered tape. The Verismo has some of that, but it has this deft...

    The Ortofon Verismo Has Arrived!!!

    That really is a great way to describe it. There are some definite benefits to the Anna Diamond over the Verismo, but man this cartridge is a STEAL!

    The Ortofon Verismo Has Arrived!!!

    The Ortofon Verismo has arrived. This cartridge is a real treat and as Ortofon is known for, the value of this cartridge is off the charts. For those of you not familiar, Ortofon is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, manufacturer of cartridges there is. They have been doing it at an extreme...

    Orotofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge

    Both are quite good and a matter of taste. I prefer the top end of the Anna just a bit and I think it is also a little more musical. The Opus has equally good clarity and dynamics. The Anna Diamond has greater resolution, ease and texture than the original Anna.

    Orotofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge

    I cannot really say there was a big difference. Both were very quiet. I am using the darTZeel NHB-18NS MKII which also is extremely quiet.

    Orotofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge

    i have had them both here for a long comparison. The Opus 1 is a very refined sounding cartridge. It is quiet and quite musical. Definitely one of the better cartridges I have listened to. On the other hand, the Ortofon Anna Diamond is every bit as refined but also has superior resolution and...

    What can you learn from looking inside an amp ?

    Carlos, I certainly never said or hinted that his question was not valid, only his misstatements.

    What can you learn from looking inside an amp ?

    You know it is one thing to ask a question, but it is another to make a misleading statement about something you admittedly know nothing about. While I appreciate you mentioning that you are a novice, you should have stopped there and just let people, who really know, answer your question. Now...

    Is there a match between Magico Speakers ( particularly M6 ) and Tube Amps?.

    As Bill eludes to, this is all about the impedance and the difficulty many of the Magico speakers present for tube amplifiers.
