Maybe I think like an European, but here it is normal that a shop owner gets a profit margin from a sold item. Big shops have a better negotiation position then small ones, and can buy cheaper. Point is, that if a distributor wants at least a certain margin and a seller negotiates very sharp...

Sorry for my late reply. I couldn’t remember and was on a trip in germany It has neutrik ncc connectors and got it from an audio store, but have to admit that these cables could be improved. By the way, if you are in the neighbourhood, you are welcome to listen to my set. Amazing that...

How about this? Make Audioshark Great Again

There is only one doctor I like: Doctor Oetker (German producer of pizza's) :rolleyes:

Whats next? A keyboard with a swift key to generate new songs with the voice of Taylor Swift?

If bits are bits, why is that DSD dac needed? Secondly, what is a dsd dac doing behind a raspberry pi which is not capable to convert pcm to dsd? I know that this T+A dac does also play pcm, but in general a dac is chosen with a function that is not being used. If you look at pcm only, there...

Nowadays It is much more easy to earn money with a tribute band then with own new work. Play and sing some evergreens and everybody is happy. Unless you are really good and have the right marketing, hardly no one is visiting your performance with music they don’t know

My expensive 2nd hand audio gear is never ever shipped by delivery services like Fedex, oh hell no :eek: I always will get them personally in my own car even when it takes a whole day of driving.

I bought some second hand stuff, some buys I am very happy with. The Bryston preamp is still working and very good. Also a Marantz sacd player is still functional which I bought 2nd hand in 2009, and my Denafrips Dac is still in my setup. The latter was almost new. On the other hand: guarantee...
