I had a great cd transport and it looked smashing. But it stopped working after 5 years. As well as the same company's DAC. Both stopped working after 5 years. I can't name it because this post will be taken off. Great while they worked but they w... 
Do you buy used carts/needles? Is it risky?
I bought two demos and thought they sounded excellent.  
Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you?
I have had a couple of Pass and they do get hot but I've never found that hot components turn into heaters.  My apartment on its own get very hot and the air conditioner is too loud to enjoy music or even the TV. So I've started to use the small f...

What is wrong with content of Graceland? A great album where the sound is like a drug.   Ansermet’s Stravinsky Pulcinella, complete not the suite, on London. The cd I have on Eloquence which has done some very good with the Decca classical cata...

How long for an HDMI cable to break in.
I simply put it in and did not pay attention to the direction of the Blueberry so it was the wrong way. It bothers me that I put this Vodka in and it made no difference whatsoever. In fact it sounds a bit duller than the Blueberry. Again it may t... 
Eversolo T8 vs Lumin U2 and Laiv Harmony DAC
uDDC really brings Laiv Harmony up a notch. Clear difference. On other DACS some people hear a difference, others no.    
A new dac?
I got the Laiv Harmony Dac. Last year it was 'the thing.' Most audio youtubers gave it raves. Then Laiv came out with its DDC which these same youtubers raved about saying it brought the DAC up a notch. So I got it and I heard a clear improve in i... 
Looking for a cd transport in the 5k range: Jay’s Audio CDT3 MK3 or Pro-Ject RS2T?
