Exactly!

I would be happy to give them a try but not for that price. I am not doubting you hear a difference. I just find the product suspicious. Like the company that sold antiresonance crystals that you set around the room. It is something that I would have to hear for myself.

So let me get this straight, the thing has an effect even with no power? If that is so, oh please and at that price. I have some swamp land to sell you that might be worth something in 1 million years. You can go swim the the Alligators, leaches and snakes in the mean time. I will stick with...

I just visited my best friend and ex-partner from the ER in Albuquerque last week. He has a high end PSA system but in his basement, he has a Parasound JC2 preamp and a Belles Hotrod 150A and a Wiim Ultra as a streamer. He decided to buy a pair of Aiyima A20 mono blocks with a 48v 10A PS...

They are new speakers under the old Genesis name. I loved Genesis back in the 70's. I was saving for a pair of Genesis Model 2's for my first system. I ended up with a pair of Altec Lansing Model 3's as they were cheaper. I did not have enough money after buying a JVC TT and Pioneer Receiver.

Mine is from Mark Levinson. Daniel Hertz is a new company started my Mark Levinson himself. But I am sure you know that. Beautiful gear. I would love to hear. https://danielhertz.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoruwmXY7V16DFwG_Nyp44f-vGV-NMqLcYA7_Ah2N-2ywzPQUV3j...

That's what I did. I went from separates to a Levinson integrated amp with a great built in dac and supposedly a great phono preamp although I use my Gold Note for that.

Denafrips now has service in the U.S. I had a pair of PSB Synchrony Ones and a cap in the xover blew. The speakers were about 12 year discontinued and PSB had no parts. I would never buy one of their products again. They did not have any info about the value the cap was either. I love Pass...

He has more than that. The post numbers are off since the site was changed. I know Feanor a long time from another forum. He had Good gear, a Pass 150.5 Int and Magnepan 1.6's. He is a good guy.

No I am not. There is plenty of gear in the thousands that I heard and I thought, who would buy this stuff. The Marantz Model 30 being one of them. Hearing it compared directly to the KI Ruby Integrated it sounded veiled or muddy and the dealer thought so too. My son and I heard it within 20...

Absolutely. That is the issue. I occasionally go on Reddit when I am bored and the crap that people spout about the ChiFi gear, $200 TT's and $50 phono preamps is just ridiculous. And people asking for help to buy good system believe this crap. I was telling a guy about my phono preamp...

I certainly agree with you but, when I say it sounded bad, it did. It was rough sounding, unrefined and almost veiled. The sound stage was not that big. And I have 2 of them. Like I said it sounds decent when paired with a 2ch Marantz recevier from the early 2000's with Monitor Audio Silver...

I bought a Topping E50 dac for a bedroom system and a TV. It sounds decent for that but when placed in my sons and my reference systems it was greatly exposed as junk. I bought it based on the great review ASR gave it. Those guys still praise it. They would not know good sound if it hit them...

Agree. If you look at reviews on these budget ChiFi gear on amazon, a lot die within the first 6 to 12 months. These things are so compact and can put out high power but the caps are so small and are asked to do too much and they do not last long. Thats what my EE friend says who repairs...

I am a physician and I can flat out tell you that healthcare is a disaster, not just government controlled. And it is going to get worse. I have been practicing for 40 years and I am going to retire the end of the month after working 40 years in emergency medicine. Corporations have bought up...
