    Recalibration of expectation of wait time may be a good idea. I hope that I am wrong.

    Berkeley has had a problem with the supplier who performs the CNC machining of their Ref DAC's chassis. The chassis being produced were not flawless in their appearance. Mike Ritter of Berkeley is accepting nothing less than perfection in his units' appearance. I believe that this production...

    Hint of new Magico products

    Reliable sources have names. We shall see. It is amazing - a 100K price increase! That number keeps the current Q7 customers happy and makes it harder, or now even impossible, for others to aspire to this vaunted model. I own the Q5's and love them. When I saw Alon this past summer, we had...

    Okay, that being said, when should I call to schedule? Can I get in a queue now? Do you need a deposit to hold my place(s)? Please let me know. Thanks!

    New and Updated Shunyata Research Power Conditioners Announced

    Enough said and that is a major "Wow"! I will call Rich Rogers this week to begin the scheduling. I want to do one at a time so that I am not "out of commission" with my systems. Will do the main rig first. Sure I am pleased with my system, however I could always be more pleased with it!;)...

    New and Updated Shunyata Research Power Conditioners Announced

    I have been quiet for a while as I am still awaiting my Berkely Reference DAC. They have had a problem with their CNC supplier in receiving clean chassis. Mike Ritter at Berkeley tells me I am about a month away. When I finally have this in my system (Been waiting since September!), I will do a...

    Hint of new Magico products

    If I may add, Magico will be utilizing a form of their midrange/tweeter sub enclosure in the revamped Q line that they first used in their S3 loudspeaker. This is per a conversation that I had with Alon over the summer when I had auditioned the S3's. When? I do not know.

    No I did not remove the Spectral preamp to audition. Bob Harley did not remove his preamp for his review of the Reference DAC either. He ran the DAC at an output level of "59" into his Constellation Virgo preamp. I ran the output of the DAC at "54" into my Spectral DMC-30SSII preamp, as per the...

    Also, try to do some of your comparative listening on reference grade headphones, taking out the speaker/room interactions. I find headphone listening very instructive for critical equipment evaluations.

    Bring it home with an open mind. You will see! As another reviewer had commented "Game changing". Don't bring it home, and you will save money! I will keep you up to date on two things - The Shunyata/MIT and the Shunyata/Berkeley after I have mine running in the stem for a while. (I am counting...

    You are right about Harley's assessment. He did say that the DAC sounds like a mike feed, and that is what I am hearing - spooky real. Currently no analogue on my setup. I ditched my Goldmund table years ago. Always found records too noisy, no matter how "quiet". There was always a small "tick"...
