    Aries Cerat Kassandra II Ref DAC: Wow!

    Got it. I'm curious what your partner thinks of it - obviously enough to purchase it but if he has additional thoughts on its merits, I'd be interested to hear them. Gary

    Aries Cerat Kassandra II Ref DAC: Wow!

    Brad, This is a little off-topic but do I understand this correctly - you are a user of JPlay software? If so, have you ever done a critical review of its capabilities? (I don't think so, but thought I'd ask.)

    Cj hd3 dac

    Hi RJ, I own the HD3 and would agree. I was able to purchase it some time ago at a reasonable price used here in the States, and did so for three reasons: 1) on the basis of CJ's reputation for building quality products; 2) to inject CJ's house sound (warmth and musicality) into my system; and...

    Cj hd3 dac

    Curious if anyone here owns this DAC and their experience with it. My understanding is relatively few were every manufactured as CJ decided in the end not to devote resources to this equipment category. Any thoughts?

    Nat Audio - giant killers?

    Are you referring to their amps or preamp lines ("The Tube") or both? I'm just interested in the preamp comparisons. And as long as we're talking about a German make, curious about your thinking re: Symphonic Line's die Erleuchtung. What makes all this somewhat plain conjecture is how each of...

    Thanks everyone for the dialogue. Bonzo75, you referred to San Diego - that's my birthplace. Who should I see there?

    Nat Audio - giant killers?

    Brad, I was referring to your extended reply earlier about preamps that might play well with the Centaur Majors. I should have "replied with quote". May I put in a word of regard for Christiaan Punter of Hi-Fi Advice from the Netherlands. He is a huge Apogee and Rowland advocate and I read his...

    Nat Audio - giant killers?

    Brad, thank you for this. I read your posts very carefully and only wish I could get you, Marc and Bonzo75 in the same room together. I do think my European friends are a bit more sophisticated when it comes to sound.

    Marc, it's your description of the sound that started all this. You're responsible...

    Nat Audio - giant killers?

    Wow, this is an interesting turn of events. I actually emailed Rich a week or so ago and he asked that I call him, which I may do today. However, I believe Rich is now located in Nevada, not Long Island. Interestingly, I have read from someone on Audiogon that Tube Research Labs go very well...

    Pardon me everyone for being redundant (as I asked Marc this) but bonzo75, fair to say NAT has put all its quality control issues behind it?

    Nat Audio - giant killers?

    Very kind of you Marc. I'm located on the east coast in the U.S. and unfortunately not planning a trip in the near future to your fine country, much as I might like to. I was there many years ago to attend Wimbledon back when Steffi Graaf was playing. Looking forward to seeing how Roger Federer...
