I have (2) Pair of Cardas Clear Sky 2 meter RCA interconnects for sale. These sell new for $790 a pair. Complete with boxes - cables are about 4 months old. I ended up selling the source components I bought them for. Price is for each pair and includes USA shipping and paypal.

Hello and thanks for checking out my listing for these Cardas Clear Sky 2 meter XLR interconnects. I am only selling these as I sold my stereo separates and went with an integrated. These were purchased brand new from an authorized Cardas dealer in September of 2019. These sell new for $730 for...

Hello all,   I apologize if this is a duplicate post...I just posted this question and it seems to have disappeared.   I am having trouble locating a hi-end pair of in-ear monitors/buds at just about any price (trying to stay below $1000 US). The problem is with any type of earbud that...

So,   I am looking for a great sounding pair of earbuds for less than $1000 US.   My issue is this...I need something small and ultraportable like an in-ear bud/monitor for travel purposes, BUT I absolutely can't wear anything that inserts into the ear canal - my ear canals hurt like hell...

Hello all,   Most of my library is ripped from CDs at AIFF 44.1 kHz sample rate - so essentially CD quality...   My question is, is it advisable to only stream to my DAC at the 44.1 kHz (CD quality) setting since this matches my source material? I have heard that up-sampling a lower...

Thank you for your input.   I took the plunge and picked one up today...and what a heavenly difference. It took a little tweaking to get the little extra "kiss" of sound I was looking for without overdoing it.   Russ

Thanks for sharing your extensive input here.   I have confirmed with Marantz the preamp output is in conjunction with the signal to the speakers. So good news there...   Interestingly enough, I am pretty happy with the bass on the setup (amazing really for a bookshelf!)...some of the tom...

So, here is a pic of the setup...   A Marantz PM-11S3 2 channel integrated amp (which is heavenly--nothing like their run of the mill stuff) and speakers sitting on a credenza on my home office:     As you might see, going to the left/right with a floor stander is not my first choice. My...

So...   I have a new pair of Bowers & Wilkins 805D3 bookshelf/monitor speakers that are awesome--and they damn well should be at $6000 for the pair!   My question is this...   Due to location and size constraints,  I need to stick with a bookshelf. I happy very happy with the 805D3s, but...

Thank you both for the reply and additional information.

Okay, newb question here...   If I rip a CD to an uncompressed format (like AIFF 16bit/1,411kbps) and play it back from my computer (versus playing on a CD player), all other things being equal, will it be as good as CD quality playback in theory?   Thanks for your input.   Russ

My apologies if I offended with my ETA claims...   I will point out that the Daytona movement was pulled in-house some # of years ago with the caliber 4130 - one the finest chronograph movements known to man. With that, I believe Rolex has become 100% in-house production save for a few parts...

Every 7-10 years you will spend around $700 US for a service assuming you didn't absolutely beat the hell out of it (normal wear and tear).

Certainly not everyone's taste...   I will say this...they have been a rock solid place to put some money. I bought my step-father a steel & gold submariner in 2003 for just over $5000 new. That same watch is pushing $13,000 now. The same has happened with all the Rolex's I have bought in the...

I own several with this engraving.   It is VERY subtle in real life. Almost don't notice unless you are looking for it.
