    Auditioning a new preamp

    A friend of mine, who just happens to be a distributor of this product, has loaned me an Incito Aries Cerat preamplifier. I've been listening to this in my system for a couple of weeks now and find it extremely good. Here's a write up on it and I pretty much agree with what it says about the...

    Great customer service...great product

    I thought I'd post up about the great customer service I received from K&K Audio. I ordered their premium step up transformer and received it in two days. No muss, no fuss. Then, after a month of burn in with my new cartridge, I decided to try some resistors in the SUT, to better match the...

    Audirvana Plus 2.0

    Anyone using this? Are you happy with it? My MacMini died, so I got a new one and am thinking of trying something else than Amarra software. I've read some good things about Audirvana, but am hoping for some users here to share their own experience with it. Thanks.

    My Wilson Journey...

    Steve asked me to post some photos of my setup and talk a little about how I got to where I am in my Wilson journey. So, now that I've gotten off my easy chair and taken some photos, I might as well begin. The first time I heard Wilson's was at a dealership near Washington DC, back in 2005...

    Ayre QB-9 problem

    I've lived happily with my QB-9 for around five years, or so. I use it with a last generation Mac Mini, loaded with Amarra software. I have a four terabyte external drive hooked up also. Lately, over the last month or so, I've sometimes had to restart the computer, in order for the DAC to...

    meitner MA-1 and Ayre QB-9

    Well, I just got on the waiting list to have my Ayre QB-9 updated with the new analog section and DSD capability. I have read a lot of reviews that say this is a killer upgrade to the QB-9's sound quality. I'm hopeful, as I have recently compared my QB-9 to a friend's Esoteric DAC and the...

    Extraordinary vinyl...

    For those of you into vinyl, I highly recommend this album from the Venus Hyper Magnum Sound Collection. The title is You're My Everything - The Music Of Harry Warren, performed by the Dick Hyman Trio. It is a 33 1/3 rpm album that easily sounds as good as any of the 45rpm remasters I've...

    Kuzma Stabi M

    Does anyone here own the Kuzma Stabi M? I was so enamored with it at RMAF, that I can't stop thinking about buying one. I know I don't need it, my Scout sounds very good, but boy, do I want it!

    New Music Heard At RMAF

    One of my favorite aspects of the show was the new to me music I discovered. Here's a list from my Shazam and SoundHound tags I made at the show, of music that I liked. Be aware that the apps don't always give the correct album name, as the same song may be on different albums. Also, as in...

    Xp20 - xp30

    Has anyone gone from the XP-20 preamp to the XP-30 preamp? If so, what improvements did you notice, if any? I'm so happy with the XP-20 that I wonder what can be improved. Thanks.

    Pass Lab owners - Check in!

    Cool. Thanks for the new forum Steve. Ok. How 'bout all the Pass Labs owners check in? I've got the Pass Labs XA-100.5s and the XP-20. I absolutely think they are great and one would have to spend considerably more to better them. I think they make my Watt Puppies sing.

    My own audio nirvana...

    As my new amps, preamp and cables have been getting a lot of playtime, in order to reach their prime, I have noticed some subtle and some not so subtle changes in the sound. I think things have reached their ultimate expression now, as I experienced such a rewarding listening experience that I...

    Soundsmith The Voice Ebony...

    I have recently purchased this cartridge and thought I'd give a quick rundown on it. I installed it into the JMW 9 inch uni-pivot arm on my VPI Scout. I use the mini-TNT feet in place of the spike type feet the Scout came with. I replaced the standard record clamp with the TTWeights Mega...

    Axpona - Who's in?

    Anyone going? Since I missed RMAF in October, I decided to attend the Audio Expo North America, in Atlanta, next month. Looks like it's turning into a major audio event and the attending manufacturers' list is large.

    Steve from the Austin, Texas area.

    Hi everyone. This looks like a place I should hang around in and get to know. I have a decent system, not near as great as many I've seen here, though. Like most, my system is always a work in progress. I hope to learn a lot and hope to contribute from time to time, also. I've noticed one...
