They are great albums :relaxed:

I just spent the last 4+ hours listening to these CDs. Yes, actual physical CDs. Bitches Brew and In A Silent Way (Mo-Fi). Big Fun (Blu-Spec2) …. :relaxed: What a treat. Bitches Brew, followed by Big Fun followed by In A Silent way. What a musical journey that was. Sadly, it’s over as I...

Anyway, getting static/scratching in the left channel of their Artemis when changing the volume? Specifically going from 0 to say 10 (of 22 clicks). Only seems to happen when there is no signal. Thanks.

Gotcha :thumbsup:

Uh, if those are the Sennheiser oem balanced (XLR) cable, that's a $300 ($299.99) cable for free. I'd take that deal; but of course if you're not into balanced headphone listening or you have a better balanced cable, well... Anyway, I have the Sennheiser HD800S with the oem balanced cable and...

Your outrageous falsities tagged you :wink:

Denafrips' site is no less safe than this site, so I call foul on that. Where'd you get your AV from.... ACME Inc? Sorry, I'm simply not buying this. I don't remember Alvin saying he was personally responsible for warranting or repairing gear. Perhaps he imagined you a different scenario...

We all have opinions; and I certainly can't account for every what if and maybe so in the universe, so.... And we've zero idea why Vinshine and Denafrips split, we can only play guessing games, so.... anyway.... Not for me. I've zero concern with what the new Pontus can do as I'm quite...

Honestly, if you're only buying because of Alvin, then my question is what's more important - Alvin, or the gear??? While you make such claims, you provide zero examples (or evidence) of "comedy of errors" I just visited Denafrips site, and it defaulted to my language of English, and the...

Back in late 2022 I was seriously looking at getting a Topping A90D & D90 II, in fact had I had the money, I would have gotten them then. Fast forward this year, and I ended up with Denafrips' Pontus DAC, and their Artemis headphone amp. Also, their Iris DDC.

Yaaaay :unamused: Why worry now that I have you to do it for me :wink: Peace :sunglasses:

Sounds more like a let's "kick them while they're down" post by pointing to their competition as a dig. And while it is true having the ability to speak to such very knowledgeable salesperson such as Alvin is a big plus, it's not like the gear wasn't good to begin with. That If I thought the...

At the end of the day Denafrips products themselves has not declined, and if the products remain equally as good, they will sell. Sure, this may cause some loss of customers at first, but again, if the product is good, some will return others will still buy. I know I ain't selling my gear...

Though I have those concerns, you won't be seeing my gear go up for sale. I'm happy with what I have and will be staying there for some time. And it's not like Denafrips has left the market they just moved on from a vendor.

First, my post is part speculation as I have zero issues at the moment. Second, I intend to reach out to Alvin. Lastly, as I clearly stated in my post you quoted... I have no issues at the moment. I'm merely publicly voicing concerns others may have. Thanks.

Not exctly the news I'd like to hear being I dropped nearly 5K on Denafrips gear (Artemis headphone amp, Pontus DAC, Iris DDC) in late February of this year. In fact, my gear hasn't even reached 6 months yet. Also worried about my warranty contract, as my gear (Artemis, Pontus) shipped with a...

While I can't account for every what if, maybe so, or could be in the universe, I don't think anyone except you thinks Hi-Fi, which is what the OP is talking about in this thread, is any cheaper today than they were in yesteryear. And I did say this... Anyway, we're not talking about computer...

"Do audiophile hate advancement in technology?" - No. In fact, I welcome it. With that said.... I've not seen that at all here. If anything, I see people dumping perfectly good gear for the latest and greatest releases. That's clearly counter to your sentiment. In all my years of buying...

The CD's been ripped to my PC for some years now. This is just a CD I never really played so the issue could have been there since I got the disk and never noticed it (or the issue could be specific to this CD player). At any rate, I'll give your suggestion a try in burning the tracks on a new...

@jonathan c, or anyone else... Weird issue with Donald Fagen’s Kamakiriad CD(s)… On my Teac VRDS 701 CD player it recognizes there are 8 tracks on the CD and will even play all of them…. If I don’t try to select any other track than the first track. Basically, if I say select track 7 (or any...

For those unaware (me), what headphones are those?

My CDJapan order arrived today... For the R&B - Parliament, Roy Ayers - Sennheiser HD700. For Jazz, Rock, Sennheiser HD800S :L3000:

Latest CDJapan CD order... First up was Somethin' Else. This UCQHCD version sounds far better than my Mo-Fi Edition. The UHQCD edition sounds much livelier and has more ambience than the Mobilie Fidelity Sound Labs edition, which now (to me) sounds flat. Parliament's Mothership connection was...
