    Shunyata Theta/Gamma Lines - Do they surpass the Delta/Venom of the previous generation?

    Some information on the new Gamma and Theta lines, I believe these new lines were only launched just last week, so only just beginning to stir new interest, I am hoping to buy soon a Theta XC powercord for my Shunyata Gemini as it looks like an excellent proposition for the price point....will...

    Shunyata Omega Internet and Gemini

    Hi, I was rather stunned with the Gemini, it’s an absolute no brainer and brought a lot to the table, I am sure you would get a very nice uptick in SQ if you grounded all your network to the Gemini, they also make adapters to EJ45 connectors, along with grounding spades , XLR , RCA , BNC etc...

    Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic Dac Owner Testimonial

    Hi Designsfx Thanks for the info, I may just have to get a pair of the Mullard 6060's and a pair of the Telefunken 12AT7/ECC81 tubes that you have, as they have piqued my interest, I really thought that the Telefunken 801S were concidered the holy grail out of all the Telefunken tubes, but the...

    Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic Dac Owner Testimonial

    Very interesting that you acquired some Telefunken Tubes (am assuming the 801S !), for a while now I have been interested in this Tube, but not sure how these would translate in my system, as I have read several reports that they can be just a little bit too revealing, would very much like to...

    Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic Dac Owner Testimonial

    Similar observations to mine, I truly think the La Scala with said upgrades in Tubes, Feet and a Good Power cable really does elevate this DAC into something special, and actually a veritable bargain and value proposition for the price.

    Riviera Audio

    Just before Covid hit, I heard the AIC10 with my Solitare P headphones and it sounded fantastic...very organic and natural sounding, spades of Class A niceness, one day I may go for the Levante which offers either pure class A or a Class A/B option as well...

    DAC comparison and recommendation request

    Totally empathize with your comments and observations about the Aqua LaScala, imho it's a hidden gem, and if you put some good tubes in along with good isolating feet, you really cannot go wrong, everything becomes elevated and scales to a higher level , very liquid and natural organic sound...

    Christmas Paris 2018

    Thank you for the kind words, Indeed, we both had a fabulous time and there will certainly be more trips to Paris in the future, maybe slightly shorter, as a side trip to the vineyards in Bordeaux has always been on my wish list of places to visit (been there for work, but never with time off...

    Christmas Paris 2018

    Thank you, we are both certainly in the camp of "live to eat" rather than the other way round, very fond of the first growth wines from the St Estephe, Paulillac, Saint-Julien, and of course Margaux areas, and all being on the left bank of the Garonne river..... Best wishes

    In 2018 my wife and I decided to spend Christmas in Paris ... Stayed at the newly opened "LaFauchon" 5 starred boutique hotel which was nice enough but was suffering from some opening teething problems (felt more like a soft opening to us), a slightly quirky hotel, and most certainly not a true...
