Just upgraded my Cambridge Audio CXN V2 to an Auralic Altair G1.

Dynamics, slam, control, sweetness. BIG jump up over 200’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I watched a few reviews and even spoke with the re-seller in more detail. My system is extremely revealing. The DAC is very detailed but without sacrificing musicality. It provides a highly detailed robust bass without it sounding sloppy. Both mids...

Until a day or two ago it was hard to sit in chair to do any real listening because of the pain and aches associated with the knee replacement. It is improving and as of today I have been cleared to ditch the cain! Still some stiffness and...

I wouldn’t put too much stock into that. Really try to listen for yourself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I agree. The 205’s are amazing amps too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I would do the Premier with DD and upgrade the Premier to the REF DAC later (remember, you get 100% of your Premier money back toward the REF DAC here in the US.) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I recommend the Holo Audio May KTE DAC. I feel it can easily compete with your 15K+ DACs no problem. I ENJOY mine very much!!!

Just ordered a pair (in black) for the store. This is such an impressive big ballsy amp. And of course, the best looking amp on the planet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

This is such a cool product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Go to about 2:20 or so…I agree with him. Both sounded great. https://youtu.be/n5L5dD9sdMk Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I've heard your loudspeakers 3 years in a row now at Florida Expo. I won't lie, they're impressive. I heard what they're capable of. That being said, I'm also well aware of what my "cobbled" system is capable of, and playing a lot of the same exact...

Congrats Mike on your retirement. Enjoy in good health. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Great meeting you as well! And I agree, I saw like 200 camouflaged cars from BMW. Amazing. If they were Porsche’s, I probably would have missed the entire show. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. Hope he doesn’t sink one to save the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The situation is probably much worse today with Covid and the war in Russia causing supply chain issues and debt and liabilities mounting. Wish Val all the best, but oh boy….it’s an uphill climb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Don’t believe everything you hear. Or, rather, perspective. Read the court the documents. Lots of details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

A fairly inexpensive tube integrated. The new 702SP/703SP (which is basically 702 and 703 with F1 technology) were really eye openers. 703SP for $19K - launching in September was a “wow!” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I have owned several W4S components, and if you like the Stage 2 as well as I did. A true giant killer if there ever was one. I might suggest the W4S DAC, a perfect matching combination. I have owned their DACs and they and they are excellent. ...

Truthfully, if you want to know how it sounds, come to the show! There are no universal truths. One man’s bright is another man’s dark, so take everything with a grain of salt. I’m here to exhibit but more importantly to meet old friends,...

Yes. I hate that it sounds so good. Why? Because then I have to admit Michael Ritter of Berkeley was right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
