Thanks everyone for your interest! I sold the unit to a local dealer.

Still available. Posting response to a member's questions, thanks. The T-II is wired for use with worldwide voltage and will also work on AC 115 volt (spec'ed for 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz). I am planning to ship using Japan Post's International Parcel Post. It will take approximately 14 days to...

** It's been a minute since I visited head-fi. I don't recognize half of the gear I've listed in my sig, oh dear. Hope you’re all well. ** Up for sale is my Denafrips Terminator-II R2R DAC purchased new from Vinshine Audio in December 2021. The DAC is in impeccable condition and has been kept...

Fry's Electronics has the best selection I've seen of any of the big retail stores. Best Buy is another, although their hi-res section is often unmarked and difficult to spot.

Lou Malnati's is my favorite Chicago pizzeria. I think there is a downtown location, but not positive.

I used to own a Rotel 1072, and am wondering if the Arcam is a huge step up from the Rotel. Anyone get a chance to AB these? Might be looking for a new redbook player in a few months...

Second the blue jeans cable recommendation. There was another thread circulating a few weeks ago on BJC love.

Yeah, that's good to know. I got my IS at a kiosk at the mall, and they gave me a free installation kit that came with a spray and a credit-card sized plastic squeegee thingie. It was easy to apply, and it looks great as well.

I'm using one of these as an amp stand. Really sturdy, and it's modular. http://www.audio-video-furniture.com...Audio-Rack.htm

I went with invisible shield. They had a kiosk at the mall, but I think you can find them online. Anyways, they sold me a kit and I put it on myself. It's hard to tell it's there and it has a lifetime guarantee to protect your gadget from scratches.

K601 here.

How about a Sony SCD CE595... you get SACD and it's a changer. And you can get it modded.

My preferences when it comes to recorded violin.. the attack has to be audible, so for example, I want to hear the bite when a chord is broken across multiple strings, or when a passage requires spiccato, it should be sharp, focused and precise, again with a certain bite. And I want to hear the...

I've been listening to my new UE Super.fi 5 Pros for a few weeks now, and I just can't get into them. I listen mostly to classical, particularly solo violin repertoire, and I realized this is because the Super.fis just don't sound natural. To me, that means the tone of the instrument sounds too...

Can't say enough about BJC. Fast shipping, great service, great build, and no snake oil. The website contains good information on the science behind SQ. I actually preferred these to AudioQuest King Cobras I was auditioning.
