I needed to see this. Would love to extend his test. Well for starters.... he uses the about 7.8/10 Denon. Good amplifier...not exactly audiophile The Revel speakers also mid-fi and sounds good. His cables... Really the 8TC the best he could come up with ? That is NOT a great cable. It perfect...

Yikes, thanks for the edit...  :pray: Yeah I forgot a little about snitches' etc. Those little cnuts at school that couldn't wait to tell the teacher.

[EDIT] I donated R2000 to a very worthy group of people [EDIT] They were so sweet.... what else would you do with a person 6:40 on Saturday morning doing [EDIT] ? Jail ? No,,,,that is horrible  :angel: Yeah I was naughty,  [EDIT]  :ROFLMAO:

I sincerely hope all the advice on the CD-S3000 is based on actually owning and listening to the Yamaha ?  :thinking: I thought so..... :moron: Ok simple comparison. The S3000 slots in just below a dCS Puccini and gives me the same texture and warmth as the EMMLabs XDSA Its DAC is great...

I have to admit, The landscape is changing a lot! Manufacturers are worrying less and less about distributor agreements. Some will export to you without worrying about the local importer. Maybe that is the way to go ? Money talks, so if you want to bring in say a 2nd hand Avantgarde, or...

There are some really good Chinese products..... note SOME 1. Rice 2. A LOT of valves are made in China, our coveted brands too 3. VERY good valve amps: Line Magnetic, MingDa..sometimes Cayan etc. BUT be picky. The MingDa preamp an example of Giant killer of note. 4. Some good SS amp and kit...

@TimbLand - Totally agree. Bluesound has a k@k DAC, I have at least 4 clients now using it ONLY as a streamer. Make NO mistake, its a VERY good streamer with beutiful interface.

I suspected some sh..t when I had two exactly same 4700uF Nichicons in my hand, the one was almost 2x lighter!! Can remember I weighed it. I didnt open it.... messy but I can already tell. Look at this....never knew than  :clap:

O believe me, the Rubycon is not anywhere real either.....  :ROFLMAO:

Not out of MingDa  ;D I worked on an amp and noticed cap smelling...50V... when I measured capacitance, only about 1000uF and I was expecting 4700uF When I read above posts I realized the scam. I also fixed a Krell KSE. New TO3's blew up... And every time at bench at 50W plus They were all fake...

THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS I have 20+ of these cable here...well had...threw lot away... Even the damn copper is useless... I tested them ALL, for the cable unbelievers, even YOU guys with wooden ears will hear the sound... Like 1980's kit and speakers with Tweeter/Squawkers   :faint: A...

RANT 3: Yeah... I replace the caps in the MingDa I sell BEFORE selling it to a client... Luckili only 2 caps to replace: Too many reports of gear from that area that have fake "Mundorf" caps - see [/size]http://www.mundorf.com/english/oem.htm[/size]and fake Nichicon - see...

RANT 2:

Time to RAVE lets start with this: Ill highlight the contradicting words... Cheap Blank Record & Tape, Buy Quality Consumer Electronics Directly from China Suppliers:Wholesale 1 Pcs [/color]Rare[color=red] MaxMX 60 Minutes Authentic Metal ... NOTHING comes from China, cheap and ORIGINAL...

Had a look at that list and laughed my arse off! If the ARCAM, OPPO get 125 and the TOP DAC 145, What the hell are they smoking ? Where is Chord! MSB ? dCS (ok it crap expensive). T+A and DAC9's deserve their ranking, the other "fluff" just giving people false impressions . "Look!! My DAC is...

After deleting my post 5x, I decided to stick my neck out. Putting a Chord Dave into any system less than R1m is NOT going to tell you how good it is. Putting a Shiit/Topping/Dinnafrips/iFi into any R1m system will tell you how crap it is...exluding the iFi Pro maybe I have done it, many...

Flip guys!  :stop: Thank you!  :dance: Im trying hard. I want to be know as someone that will never ever screw a client!! Many times there are hidden defects, so forgive me if ever something has issues... 2nd hand items are perilous  :Ooooooh: But ALWAYS talk to me...

Sansui G-33000

Gosh, now here is something! 90% of the times the ZU is set up totally fricking wrong. One IDIOT let it go and dished it, because it had no bass. In the pics I saw it flat on the carpet. Duh, RTFM, the speaker must be OFF the ground, there is a port below  :facepalm: :ROFLMAO: When set up...
