I’ve just looked out my receipt and at the time I bought it was in stock. Best plan is to telephone them, they are very helpful on the phone.

@evand I bought mine from Canford in the UK. From memory it was just over £10 per m plus delivery of about another £10.

Personally I tend to think of YouTube ‘reviewers’ as being YouTube ‘influencers’ rather that reliable reviewers.

I guess you haven’t bought many things direct from China then? The Chinese seem incapable of declaring a customs value higher than about £20, obviously based on my own experience but that includes several matched pairs of Psvane WE845.

Indeed, after Rob Watts had posted in that other forum suggesting that the TT2 could directly be connected to sensitive speakers, there were a number of reported instances of users destroying circuits in the TT2 by doing this. RW then modified his advice to only using the RCA outputs from the...

These things are nearly always in the eyes (ears) of the beholder. I personally prefer the sound of the Qutest with a half decent power supply over the TT2. Indeed I sold my TT2 to get a Qutest instead. The only downside for me with the Qutest is that it is a fixed output albeit with choices of...

The ’why’ is a good question but in my experience the power supplies to streamers can make a significant and audible improvement (and I’m talking about using a streamer with an external DAC, not an internal dac). It is not just the likes of Wiim but also top end streamers such as Innuos...

I had a Qutest and found its sound was very dependent on the power supply used. For a modest cost for a third party power supply its sound is much better. For more money such as a Sean Jacobs power supply the sound is, at least to my ears, quite sublime and not at all sterile. My Qutest was...

@pidge22 I see you are from Nottingham so you are very near to me (10 miles ish depending on which part of Nottingham) and you are very welcome to come and hear my Antipodes Oladra streamer. I started lowly with streamers but then came to the conclusion that they are a large part of the success...

@pidge22 assuming your seriousness about the Nagra HD X Dac then I can only suggest that you visit some dealers and spend a few hours listening to some streamers prior to arranging a 2 or 3 week home demo. For that standard of DAC then I would suggest that perhaps something like the Antipodes...

This thread has taken a bizarre off piste route but as has been mentioned really I think the funeral is not so much about the dead person but rather to help those who are left behind to process their grieving. Having said that I did go to one funeral a couple of years ago for a dear family...

I am not clear what the ground master city adds to the party compared to just using the normal mains earth compared to adding in the gound master city but I am a fan of using the pms ground master with external earth rods.

Unfortunately galvanic isolation was only created to isolate from dc voltages and currents. Essentially to prevent those dc voltages and currents from frying circuit boards when the network cables were run over long distances and the relevant ground potential and dc currents between devices...

That would seem to put you firmly in the biased camp of having made up your mind not to hear any differences with some items without needing to get involved in the process of actually assessing what is being heard. Of recent I have relayed how I have been surprised by how much difference can...

I was using a Chord Qutest when I compared the Innuos Zen and Zenith mk3. For me the difference was clear and worth it but you right to say that the decision will not be the same for everyone.
