Vtory

How are they different than the Auteur suede?

Surprisingly similar (expected more differences). ES just a bit warmer & darker.

Zach needs to make an African Bocote Burl Auteur just so I can say you love ABBA. =)

Really. I want some firsthand auditions of Bocote and Cocobolo auteur!

... and verite if possible.

Shame! Shame! Shame! <Ding>

Vtory, I thought you were going with the Verite??

@Vent : True. Just not exclusively so. haha
Well, I am desperately waiting for my verite (already ordered).

hey @zach915m what's the problem here? do you somehow fill orders for non-SBAF folks also?? :)

If it's through Zach, it can't be this quick -- physically. My verite (in the lumber form?) is still waiting for being sanded.

Yes yes we're all commiserationg you for the hardships you will go through :P

I love the “Executed” tag. Makes me chuckle every time I see it...

...not that I want one though!

* ducks *

ZD knows when it’s time to take a break. 3F arrives today, might need a weekend ban next!

@jexby : warning - 3F may cause you to forget about everything else for awhile and simply enjoy the music. I suggest listening to Christian McBride & Sting "Consider Me Gone"

For the dac from china?

Nope. In this country. Anyway issue resolved now. lol

Yup!

Cool. Will pm you later!

Darn! I'm going to move in at the end of the month, so I'll just miss it!

Just started listening to them as well!

Loaner Verites? I have the best Verites. 3F coming in next Tuesday. Best 3F's around. Not from China. Sad!

edit: sorry your "sad" made me think of trump. that is all. carry on.

Looking forward to more impressions on the 3F. Maybe you could delay releasing the Verite until Tuesday night.

Posting into wormholes I see. I happened to be posting this in a for sale thread hoping it shows up as a profile post.

People poo poo them, but of all the power cable manufacturers at least Shunyata and Audioquest put out stuff like this showing real results. Here’s a similar video made by a random guy: https://youtu.be/rM1CRHciEsE.

Okay, I am obviously an idiot but if it is plugged in parallel then shouldn't it still be picking up the "dirty line"? Or is that thing just a trick and its not properly grounded till its grounded using the other cable?

Seems like one of those plug into the wall socket & it will reduce noise accessories, like the PS audio noise harvester. I think iFi might have a similar product as well.

New entries into the R2R (or multibit) market are always welcome! If I understood correctly, the D1 was a competent product?

Discrete i am guessing unless someone new is making chips

Yeah. D1 was not bad. Kinda normal sounding 9038pro. I am just concerned that multibit/r2r needs totally different skill sets and know-how. We'll see. lol

Short answer though is that DHL has been here longer than the others and they have a vast network. Your item most certainly shipped from a town with a DHL airhub.

That makes a lot of sense. Btw mine was free shipping. No idea about how much the store charged. Likely fraction of dealer margin went there.

You guys are all wrong. Gustard was afraid Vtory would change his mind :)

Dueling sabres?
Looking forward to your impressions!

Sabre dance

It begs the question: Was the package on the train, or did the train hit the FedEx truck? hehehe

Honestly I thought of the former when saw the notice at first -- with horrible shock to the package. Your second imagination is even more creative!

I have had a few packages I sent out with UPS give us a "Train Derailment" message. They ended up in their destination albeit a little delayed. One from Cali to Texas had the derailment in Arizona and checking the news I saw the train legit derailed. Few days later my guy said he got it and everything was fine.
