Re: Suncoast Audio Launches “The Powered By Pass Program”
Mike – Does this program apply to amps only, or does it also cover preamps & phono stages as well?

Re: Tubulus Argentus XP Umbilical Cable
The umbilical connector on XP-22 & XP-32 is completely different from those on the 20 & 30, and I think that the RAL cables for the newer models are supposed to be more flexible, but you should...

Re: Tubulus Argentus XP Umbilical Cable

Re: Shunyata Typhon T2

Re: Shunyata Typhon T2
The V2/T2 combo would still lack the CMode filter that is in the Everest. Assuming that the QR/BB & NIC components of the T2 are additive with their counterparts in the V2, the question then becomes...

Re: Denali V2 v Everest with Band-Aid
It would certainly be possible to order a Sigma V2 NR in the required length, but it would be pricey. I am not even remotely qualified to give an authoritative opinion, but I would guess that using...

Re: New Luxman d-10x sacd/cd-player

Re: HDtracks vs Qobuz – Hi-Res Downloads (not streaming)
Improve on my math? Since the Qobuz Sublime plan is $180/year & the download discount ranges from 30% to 60%, the break-even point would range from $600 to $300. I chose $400 as an average. ...

Re: HDtracks vs Qobuz – Hi-Res Downloads (not streaming)
That may work for BlueFox, but I have no streamer. So the only value of a Qobuz subscription to me would be to get a discount on high-resolution downloads. (As far as I can determine, Qobuz doesn't...
