Ares & DAC68 must go. There's a new dog in town.
This is nothing new, and is somewhat old. I bought a used MHDT Canary DAC. I'm somewhat shocked at how Analog it sounds. I thought my Ares II was good, but for as close to analog sound, this Canary smokes it. Did a blind AB test with 2 friends and my wife, all agreed the Canary was better. I...- Mr.Tom

Male or Female?
I only ask because I often find myself feeling the forum is most/all Male. I know this is not the case. I'm curious what sort of ratio HeadFi has. To all of the Females in this forum, I'm a Pig! There's no need to state the obvious. Thanks.- Mr.Tom

I wrote a sort review on the Cary HH-1.
Thought I'd share. If you can find one used for $800. I'm pretty sure it will walk all over most everything at the under $1000. price range. The $1600. retail is on the high side, but thats the price of USA made quality. http://www.head-fi.org/products/cary-audio-hh-1- Mr.Tom

Why no love for the Cary HH-1?
Hi all, I got to listen to one of these today, and I was a little blown away by it's Beautiful tone, and Very Solid Bass. It's more TubeY than my Valhalla or Lyr. Sort of makes my Schiit gear sound thin and SS. I know it should sound better @ 4x the cost, but I'm surprised there are little to no...- Mr.Tom

Got some Johnny Cash!
I've got a bunch of JC cd's, most sound pretty crappy! Picked one up today from Fry's. Cost of $7. Called the number ones. I figure this would be another ear punishing recording, but this is one of the best mastered JC cd's I've ever heard. Given the source of the material(old dual mono... -
Schitt VALI and Valhalla tonal quality?
I've been running a Valhalla for the last couple of years. I'm wanting to try out a VALI, just for schitts and giggles. Have any of you tried the two? how did they sound? Is the VALI a more tubey sounding amp, as it warmer mids, sweeter highs? Thanks.- Mr.Tom

A Short OPPO story.
So a few days back I went to play a DVD in my Oppo 83 player, but the tray would not open. I bought this player the first week of release, that makes it about 6 years old. This was my 3rd Oppo player, and the first to give me any trouble. So I drove over to Oppo, and asked if they could fix it...- Mr.Tom

Brief Bifrost impressions.
Hi All, My Schiit Bifrost came in this morning. So far so good. My fears have been relieved, as it's not a harsh, bright or cold, as some have roported. It's Smooooooth as silk! A beautiful stage with just the correct amount of detail. It passed the Boston(first two albums)test. Supertramp...- Mr.Tom

Schiit Valhalla Tube Rolling thread.
Hi all, I dont see a Valhalla rolling thread, so why not start one. I'm new to this Schiit brand, as I've only had a Valhalla for a week. I came from an MF XcanV3, that I liked very much. I'm not a FOTM sort of buyer, as I used the Xcan for the last 8 years. One of the things I needed in a...- Mr.Tom
