Have had two words of response by e-mail in past four months and no product. Has anyone had any luck getting anything through to him or from him?

What price range DAC is needed to produce useful improvement compared to simply using DAC in M-Audio card? Any recommendations? Am feeding powered Dynaudio BM5A speakers, and sound is good, but not like my McCormack UPD-1 CJ Edition, which left me poor and looking for moderate price DAC, but...

Spent two unhappy weeks with K701 and Woo3, Woo3 was bested by GL lite and even Xin SM V3. Just when I thought K701 would not break in further, I tried it just now with Woo3. Wow!!! Everything is there, with so much more space than Senn650; and wider soundstage. No more anemic bass. Bass...

I wanted to buy an SM V4, but Xin's Website listed so many options/configurations I got frustrated and stopped. Can anyone help me? What is "best" combination/configuration to max out the amp for desktop use (don't need to worry about battery drain of different op amps). Thanks (The...

Let me preface this by making clear that I love my Woo3 with Sennheiser 580, 600, and 650. I've been listening to a K701 with about 500 hours on it, and some things are wonderful, but I am having trouble getting used to it: something that I can't put my finger on is not right. Last night...

Have had several Woo3's, all excellent. Jack Wo is suggesting that Woo2 is significantly superior (and twice the price!) compared to Woo3. At $900 plus, Woo2 is in price range with many outstanding products. Woo3 at $500 is in competitive price range also, but I know much of the competieion...

Woo2 is about to be released (so is Woo4). I sold my Woo3 last week and already am in withdrawal from missing it. Woo states that Woo2 is actually two Woo3 circuits, one for each channel, on one chassis, with better power supply. Am tempted just to buy another Woo3 and put myself out of...

I've noticed many references to combining two Xin amps, using one as preamp and one as power amp, but the permutations of Xin amps (including mods) appear limitless. What combos do you recommend, in which configurations? I have Xin Supermacro V6 with OBDC SA5534 Hi-C sockets - very, very...

These were on sale at Guitar Center for $900/pair, and having had the Dynaudio Audience, had to have these for my desk setup. Remarkable. Set up as a 3 foot equilateral triangle, the depth of image approximates live concert hall. Standard Dynaudio voicing - detailed, effortless, smooth - but...

While these "gold....(something" cables are touted as superb, I find them vulnerable to noise and no better sounding than Blue Jeans cale (which means they sound good but not spectacular). Any other reactions to the cable Cattylink sends?

I can't find this information on their Web site. Equipemt is very good, but does not meet my needs and need to return, but can't figure out how. Thanks.

Despite MAJOR problem with ORNEC with other parts of my order, the T-2.6F arrived as ordered and has had over 50 hours burn. It is a tube/solid state hybrid. It is 220 volt and I'm in US so I'm using a step-up transformer. It has remarkable sound. Previously, only my Supermacro V3 with bass...

Ordered US 110 volt version of power plant (accuracy of order confirmed in their email to me), but received Chinese 220 volt version. No answer to three emails to them. Anyone deal with them before? Other than wrong product this time, other purchases I've made from them have gone well. I think...

I bought a V-6 from Xin. It arrived last week. I went to Penn Camera and bought eight rechargeable AAA's. When amp would not charge, I kept e-mailing Xin that I thought amp was defective, but he kept saying there was a problem with the batteries. Anyway, against his advice, I returned the...

I have M-Audio Delta 192 soundcard, and am wondering which external DAC would begin to give audible improvements. In other words, how expensive a DAC is needed to improve on current hardware, and what would you suggest? Thanks. (Am newbie to computer audio)

Am in US and want to buy Bada 12. How good is it compared to Woo3? Also, suggestions for best tubes for Woo3 (I listen to stock it came with and they are very good - can I get even better sound? (Senn 650, Cardas). If Bada it is good, how do I buy it?

I would like to order V6. If I return my current V3 with OP627 and 2x buffer, do I need to reorder OP and buffer, or can the ones from my returned unit be re-used in V6? Also, how different is SQ from SA5534 and OP 627? I use E4P/S and listen to wide variety of music, but "voice" of...

Any thoughts on suitable DACs fom a Sony DVD7700 being used as a transport. Had been using the Sony for redbook CD playback, but got Aracam 73 which is miles better. Wondering if Sony is worth salvaging and best route to do it. Thanks.

I have an old Sony Universal DVD/CD SS7700 player that I am considering using on my nightstand for redbook CD playback only. I am wondering if redbook only CD players such as the NAD C542, or comparable, would produce notably improved playback. I do most of my in-bed listening using...

I have a Woo 3 which I love. While the interference does not occur at a volume setting where I normally listen to music, I am receiving distinct clicking hum when the volume control goes past 2 p.m. (a level I never use while listening to music). I have isolated the problem to my desktop...

I'm a 56-year-old who built tube amplifiers and did Ham radio as a kid (WB2BIU), but who is a boob regarding computer and digital audio (I quit in disgust when the transistor became the rage 40 years ago - the first KLH transistor power amp was three angry cats in a small box, horrible when...

Liked my Gilmore Lite with wallwart. Very good SS, especially regarding punch. With PSU that arrived today, not the "small" improvement Justin promises: rather, like going from an Adcom to a Classe. What was there is still there, but now effortless, liquid like tubes except for instrumental...

Seems like there is infinite combination of settings with WMP10 enhancements and add-ons, and the EMU 404. Any thoughts on best combo for highest quality audio CD playback through EMU running through Gilmore or Woo to Senn 600's? Thanks for any help here - feel like I could experiment to...

I am looking for a kit that accomplishes two objectives: first, it must be easy enough to be completed by a 16 year-old novice, and second, it should be educational so that the user learns the underlying principles to the amp's operation. Any advice would be appreciated. Tubes would be...
