Anyone tried this DAC (https://www.audioadvisor.com/prhbs2d-blk?sku=NEW-PRHBS2D-BLK)? I'm about to give up the good fight and invest in a new Mac laptop sometime in the next year. My Mac Mini is overloaded by the OS upgrades I've been required to make so I can run Turbotax - at this point, it...

Some thoughts after having a few more sessions to listen to the new snap-crackle-pop deletion device. I think my original impressions (in this thread: https://forums.phxaudiotape.com/threads/what-are-you-listening-to.8/page-1137#post-346320) are still valid though maybe not quite as much...

Hi folks, Checking out a Yamaha MR 842 I found in surplus for possible use in a small recital hall along with speakers and gear I purchased for the University a couple of years ago. As you can see, it would be nice if I could find a couple of fader knobs of appropriate color for the two that...

Heard a set of DQ-10s for the first time in forty years at my friend's stereo shop which is now just a collection of vintage gear, a lot of it junk. But the good stuff is, more than occasionally, really good. I stopped in today for the first time in a while as traffic was backed up on the...

Looking over the remote start for the Suburban I just got from the Sniff. FedEx sent it to Disney World from Minnesota before getting it back up to me but it's here now and I'm looking forward to installing it. Fair price and great service - thanks again Perry! Bob

And now for a discussion question from the peanut gallery for all you White Oak builders/users/designers. After skimming and reading several of these rebuild threads - including the latest from Hexis 22 - and seeing the slightly different approaches taken, I've almost come to the conclusion...

A scholar and a gentleman and there aren't many of us left. Many thanks for the scope bases for the new target rifle! Looking forward to using them in a couple of months.

The Denon 301 arrived safe and sound yesterday and is everything advertised. John has been absolutely wonderful to spend time communicating with me about it and I can't say enough good about working with him on this transaction. I will also say that while he's already hinted that some more of...

Sooo...as a result of J!m's V15-V thread, Overmodulated and I came to terms on his Denon 301 cartridge - me not paying attention to my own signature line and thinking that's what I had and not the higher-end 304 that I actually have. Short story long, said 301 arrived yesterday and I've...

For years now, I've driven past a non-descript, yellow brick four-story office building with a bank on the first floor in Rossville, Ga, just over the state line from Chattanooga, going back and forth from the kids' houses in Chickamauga and Flintstone. Kept wondering why Western Electric's logo...

So I've got this Parasound HCA-1000 sitting around doing nothing and saw a C-1 in mint visual condition for sale for $300. Assuming it works as described, does that seem to be in the ballpark? If so, any thoughts on how it might interact with the Parasound (a John Curl design)? And finally...

Looking at the iFi nana iDSD headphone amp/DAC combo to try putting a little more umph behind my Beyer cans than the built-in amp in the Astell & Kern player. Looks decent for $200. Need a battery powered amp so it can travel with the A&K. Anyone using it or something similar? Let me know your...

A good friend and fellow audio nut who lives in Korea posted this link to his FB page yesterday. Just now had time to view it; I'll be returning to it several more times to completely digest what this lady has to say about the creative process, constraints, and neural processes. I'd love to...

Any thoughts on this one? $175 shipped seems like a good price; cosmetics look good and all the lights work. To not have a tuning dial, it's pretty good looking. Not sure if FM in this market is worth $175 especially since I can stream it direct from the source, but that's only MP3 audio...

No longer need this one. It's a nice Tascam CD-RW900, the original one with the tray that opens. I've had it since new for an archiving project at UTC and it's been used on and off since - mostly to listen to locally-produced CDs that my big Sony SACD player's copy-protection won't allow to...

And while Imma selling... Have a pair of the real-deal Revox NAB hubs with aluminum trumpets. There are not Turkish or Chinese knock-offs; they came with the B77 I had for several years. In excellent, but not perfect condition (you might see a couple of scuffs in the pictures). $150 for the pair.

Thread number three, here. This is a huge listing so just bear with me. It will cover several posts since I can only attach ten images per post. Most of these descriptions are for a US Audiomart listing if there's no interest here, so bear with its impersonal nature, please. I'm downsizing again...

Just for fun, take the internal circuitry of my Exposure 2010S integrated amp and transplant it into any of these unassuming receivers, keeping the existing tuner circuitry operational. I think I like the Sherwood 7100 or 7200 best as they're still "sleepers" in the collectors world and both...
