Thanks to simpleman68 got myself a nice Freya+ to play around with I'm really glad that thing finally made it to you. Good lord the Canadian gestapo was impossible to deal with. I felt horrible it took so long to get to you when all I wanted was to set you up with a good deal on a nice piece of gear.
Stoked to hear your impressions! Those Baldwin tubes made a huge difference even though I overpaid for them. Scott

So far so good, I still need to finish my room treatments in this house when it warms up more, but yeah these Chane 753 sound the best they ever have through my current setup, MacBook-->SMSL DO400-->Freya+ --> Emotiva MPS-1(2 blades installed) |

Paid for and on the way from MPB.com, my B body Sony a7III.   Could not be more opposite. My current Canon 1DX uses 3 processors 2 Digic 5+ CPUs for processing, and a Digic 4 for the focus engine. The Sony smaller Bionz X processor nearly as capable. 7 years later. I love them both, but packaging and Size make my Sonys the workhorse A and B cameras, and my 1DX special projects camera. All running Canon glass too! |

Good evening! I am new here, I am in the process of changing my 2 channel system. I just purchased an XDA 3. It’s replacing a 90’s parasound c-2 processor/pre and a Schiit Bifrost. My amp is a parasound A-23, although I am experimenting with a crown Lxs 1502. My speakers are 1986 Polk SDA 1-B’s. I have a Marantz 6002(?) CD player that I listen cd’s and Apple Music (yea I know)
I haven’t had much time to listen to the XDA. I am quite pleased already! Great imaging and staging. I’m messing around with amps because the Polks are power whores!

Ah, got one like that too, not long ago. The old one gave up the ghost after many years of honorable service. |

Ah, got one like that too, not long ago. The old one gave up the ghost after many years of honorable service. Once I realized the thing was blown and filled with water, I was going to run over to Home Depot for a quick replacement ha ha…… Then I remembered some of the BS that goes on there (with certain things not everything,) but I stopped myself and went onto Amazon instead. With that, I was able to select between six different ones that met the spec. and came up with what I wanted. No way you could do that at Home Depot. |

So I guess one Freya for sale soon on CAM.😀 "HELL NO" haha The Freya is a really nice piece, I have never owned something of this caliber for 2ch use, but another amazing thing is switching back and forth between it and the XMC-1 it solidifies just how good the XMC-1 is for 2ch playback, the Freya+ beats it out but man not by a mile that's for sure. |

Picked up the Apple AirPods Pro Gen 2 for traveling. They connected easily to my Macbook, iPhone and Apple TV and there has been zero issues switching between them. Noise cancellation works very well... haven't had much time to test / switch between the various modes, but I'm pleased thus far. Need to do more listening, especially with spatial audio; however, what I've heard thus far, the sound quality surpasses my FiiO Q1 Mark II Native DSD DAC / Amp and Tin HIFI T2 IEMs.  |

Been using Eley garden hose quick disconnects, spray nozzles and y-fittings for the last 5 years, so I finally bit the bullet and purchased one of their hose reels during their last sales event. Delivered 3 days after ordering and it was extremely simply to put together. Build quality is superb. My only complaint... I wish I made this purchase years ago.  |

I forever enjoy, revisiting the Star Wars Saga, except perhaps the middle trilogy……
Overdue to update my collection I added (And to my surprise,) rogue one available in 3-D and episodes seven through nine. Blu-ray never watched the last trilogy in one session. Looking forward to that.   Interesting when I got back into revisiting rogue, one, I realized that the martial arts guy in there was IP man lol if you’ve seen those films |

That’s the best one I’ve seen by far but have you tried this?
I got so tired of the whole reel deal that I opted for a simpler solution the first one I tried blew after two seasons, but it wasn’t a “Joey‘s” this one works great and gathers up into a little pile of nothing when you’re done…… Liberation is very sweet, and I wash my car more often lol EDIT (Photo says 50 foot) but I actually bought the hundred foot guy! …… and there is something else regarding these expandable hoses. Make sure whichever one you get is at least 25 feet longer or 50 than you think you need because the length when they expand is the biggest lie going! The hundred foot I bought now is shorter when fully extended than the 50 or 75 foot guy that I bought previously it’s all about how they stretch when you’re ready for the job |
