Thank you. I consider the D-08u very very “vinyl like”/analog, even more so than the new D-10x, which is excellent in its own right and offers some advantages over the D-08u. However, the D-08u via USB didn’t shine as much as the D-08u with...

I don’t think so any time soon. Would love to see them branch beyond Sabre for a Statement piece. Maybe ladder DAC? Something new? AKM might not happen anytime soon since the factory burned down. How about a power supply in the same chassis...

There’s some fabulous tier 1 & 2 brands like Soulution, AudioNet, Goldmund, etc. I’m going to just see what happens. Although a 725/711 combo remains dancing in my head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve had some customers use uship.com with good success. I haven’t personally used it as we have several corporate accounts with SAIA, Pilot and others. We buy pallets (oh, by the way, if you buy 10 plastic pallets, they come....wait for...

Our business model of finding the best in all categories won’t work. They will probably have a small group of “all-in” dedicated dealers and I wish them luck. I’m sure Gryphon speakers, cables and racks are good, but nobody, and I mean...

Since it’s in the AudioQuest room, we use an AQ Dragon Source. We use the V14 Digital on the Aurender in the front room (the Shunyata room). Oh, and I ordered my Aurender N30 yesterday for that room. Silver.

It’s on your end. No changes here. Use Tapatalk on phone or tablet when you can. If things go wonky, you’ll have dozens posting about it. If not, then it’s you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Freight. UPS and Fedex have weight limits of 150 pounds, but here’s the issue: Drivers are hired to lift up to 75 pounds. Anything over this and you risk them kicking it off the back of the truck. Strap to pallet. Use freight. Sent...

No issues here. They’ve been great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I understand some went up a little and some went down a little. Perhaps someone can confirm the price of the Diablo 300 for example. It was $16K. George - I agree. It will be interesting to see if dealers who were “all in, lock, stock and...

No apology necessary. I’m just scratching my head. These are very easy challenges he has. Maybe he needs a good dealer.

Speed controller is the REGA Neo. Reality is he should upgrade to the P6 to get all the goodies! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Amazing intrgrated. A beast! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So much here. He can upgrade from a P2 to a P3 and that solves the ease of speed change issue with a speed controller. Easy and gets a better sounding table to boot. He can add a VPI ADS to his P2 and then it’s perfect speed and changing with...

Is the wood on top? The 595 is wood all around, not just sides. I asked Luxman and this is what they told me. Maybe that’s why Accuphase costs more here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The REASON is that US government regulations don’t allow wood over any piece of equipment for CSA safety reasons. Japan apparently isn’t concerned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Taiko with the new USB card and running TAS is just un-freaking believably good. Listening this morning after letting it run all weekend. If they could get the TAS interface up a few notches (or more). Oh boy, that would be special. Hard to...

Nice review. I would be curious to know what caused the change from the old dry Audionet sound to this new Humboldt sound which is quite different (and very enjoyable)?

I’ll order the new feet I think too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We’ve noticed a bigger increase in performance using Roon. It went from a 7/10 to maybe an 8/10, while TAS remains a strong 10/10 for Sonics.

Agreed. My two cents: those licking their chops for lower prices might be sadly disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. Wish them best of luck. Love their electronics and I hope they are successful as another departure from America would not be a good thing. I bet a replacement for the Colosseum is in the works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

“An invested dealer is a committed dealer.” It’s a bigger discussion around the whole perception of “all of our stuff is the best, everyone else’s is junk.” If I owned a golf store, I would sell Nike shoes, but I sure wouldn’t sell Nike golf...

The one thing this card makes painfully clear is how much better TAS is than Roon - sonically speaking of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
