  1. I run mine straight into a power amp and sounds amazing. A pre may colour it but without spending big $ ( multiples of what the dac costs ) I can't imagine any appreciable return on the extra cost. Every review I have read says the same.
  2. I have the Ella's by Hulgich Audio and am constantly amazed at how good they are. These will make somebody very happy. Nick is a great guy to deal with as well.
  3. Someone is getting an absolute bargain here. This is a stunning DAC and is a bargain at it's full RRP. At this price it is a steal.
  4. I have owned one of these for about a year now. Unbelievably good DAC. For those who don't want filters, upsampling and all the other ' bells and whistles'. Can not recommend this highly enough and fantastic price. Some great reviews online from European mags and reviewers. Believe the reviews. GLWTS
  5. Hi, In my experience yes they do make a difference but will largely depend on the room, system and your ears as we all listen differently and focus on different things. In my experience, if you already have decent cables, until your system gets to a certain level of resolution and detail you are less likely to hear appreciable changes with cable upgrades and will get far more bang for your $ upgrading elsewhere. Over the years while upgrading, the largest audible difference was the speakers...highlighted components strengths / weaknesses downstream. Swapping out power amp / DAC and transport all made very significant audible improvements / changes as well. Tried a number of different cables and most made a difference...some more than others and not necessarily for the better (to my ears). As a rule, the better the cable (usually more expensive ) the more noticeable the difference (again not always for the better or really justifiable ). Always subtle and never as big an improvement as changing components. I am running balanced interconnects and speaker cable from the same manufacture and series from back to front and am very happy with the result...about 15% of system cost. What you hear is a sum of the parts...I made many detours to get a system i am for now not looking to change anything with. Cheers.
  6. Can't believe these are still available. Running Siltech 330 Classic Series cables through my entire system and are seriously great cables. Great price...almost worth buying at this price just in case I buy another source down the track and need to hook up. GLWTS
  7. Fantastic Conditioner, cable and price. Have one in my system and love it. GLWTS.

  9. Further information: FURUTECH FI-31 IEC Connector. I purchased this brand new fitted to a custom made power cable. Only thing, I sold the amp it was for about a week after receiving the cable. It was plugged in and used for maybe an hr...so is effectively brand new. My asking price is just over 50% of new RRP according to a local website i just checked. Will post in the package the replacement connector cam in.

  11. Missed that bit...unfortunately too short for me as well. GLWS!
  12. Further information: Musical Fidelity KW550 Integrated with Valve Preamp / Dual Mono Power Amp. This is a 2 box unit with the main unit housing the integrated amplifier and a second unit for the power supply to keep separate and eliminate any noise associated with power supply. Conservatively rated at 550w a side into 8 ohms. The manual states:- - 630w per channel into 8ohms - 910w per channel into 4ohms. Damping factor of 200. Connections: Line level inputs: 5 pairs line level RCA connectors. 1 front panel 3.5mm jack socket (sharing AUX 1 input) 1 pair phono (MM/MC) RCA connectors Line level outputs: 1 pair RCA [preamp] controlled by the volume, 1 pair RCA [tape record] fixed line level output. Speaker outputs: 2 pairs 4mm banana plug/binding posts per channel I purchased 2nd hand from ClassA Audio about 7 years ago and it has given me endless hours of musical enjoyment since. Am only selling as am downsizing my system and this is a monster amp! Was recently serviced / bench tested at Totally Technical in Brisbane and everything measured perfectly. The amp is in perfect working order though does have some slight external blemishes/ scratches as pictured below. N.B. It does not have a remote as was not originally supplied with one. I have had smart remotes that work with it but mainly used manually. Comes with all cables needed to plug Integrated Unit into Power Supply, plus power chord supplied with unit when I originally purchased. Initially will give preference to local pickup as this is a heavy combo ( Integrated unit is 23kg / Power Supply is 32kg). I can ship but would need to go through pack and Send as I don't have original boxes. Shipping will need to be calculated depending on destination. Sad to see this one go and has taken me over a year to decide to do it...

  13. Further information: Holton DC Blocker. I purchased just before Xmas from a fellow SNA member who purchased it new about 6 months ago. Definitely made a difference in my system and I have since gone up the chain with filtration / protection. I purchased at a very good price from the original buyer and am just wanting to recoup my cost so am passing on at the same price with postage included to eastern states. Can get a quote for shipping to WA if necessary. Comes with power chord as supplied from Holton.

  14. No, still running CD, just my tastes have changed a bit and rationalising my CD collection a bit. Using a Moon CD transport into a Sonnet Morpheus DAC. Have been through a few DACs and the Sonnet is amazing.

  19. Just swapped DACS out to a Sonnet Morpheus with the Ella Mk2's. As an above thread noted you really hear changes in source component with these speakers and the Morpheus is amazing in combination with the Ella's. Waiting on a couple of cable upgrades and should be finished...maybe!!!
  20. I am sure it is the original box...it is what was supplied to me by original purchaser. Fits perfectly so guessing yes. I have an email copy of the original purchase provided to me from original purchaser. All digital receipts...no paper. I will also bubble wrap original box to protect it when posting. Cheers
  21. Further information: Holo Audio Spring DAC Level 2. This was purchased from another SNA member about 4 months ago who purchased new from Aust Importer in June 2020. Great DAC as most people who are looking at this will already know. Only selling as upgrading to another R2R DAC. This is an opportunity to buy a less than 12 month old unit for close to $1000 off RRP. It does have a slight mark on the top plate corner above the control buttons (image 3 ) Hardly visible ( see image 1 and 4 ) except under light when photographing. Did not come with a power cord...happy to throw in a generic power cord if needed.
