  1. I own the SOtM 200HD DAC and love it!
  2. Hello Chris, Ok, since we've established that it is appropriate and that members are welcome to talk about a product or dealer that they have had a good experience with, would you please put my original post back up the way that I originally wrote it and without the editing that you did to it? Thank you. Appreciate it.
  3. Hello Chris, thank you for responding. First of all Chris - I am not upset if that is what you mean by letting the situation calm down? Not sure what you mean there? With all do respect, the more appropriate question might be – why do you seem upset? At any rate, I've always thought that you run an outstanding, fair, informative website and have enjoyed reading all the information that you and others have put out. Second... you can be “very pleased” because you are wrong about what ever you think may be "going on". Your paranoia is... odd. I'm just a painting contractor, audiophile dude that bought a piece of gear from and outstanding dealer that went out of his way to help me and want to let others know of that experience. That's it - no "hidden agenda". The SOtM gear works great and yes - I want to promote Eric - absolutely - the guy is awesome! This is the first and only purchase that I have ever made from Eric and it won't be the last. He is an outstanding dealer and he knows his stuff. We need more guys like Eric in this hobby. And yes Chris, I was being somewhat facicious when I said that I thought this was a forum where people could talk about a good experience that they had with a product and/or dealer. Of course, people have commented about other positive experiences that they have had with other dealers on this website. That is why it caught me off guard when you edited my original post and took out all of the positive comments that I had about Eric! What are your intentions Chris? At any rate, thanks for the website Chris. Oh, one other thing - I plan to post my positive experience with SOtM gear and Eric over on Gon and any other forum that I have time to post on – so the “conspiracy” continues! Take a big breath Chris and relax. Best wishes to you and your website.
  4. I’m not sure what you are referring to Chris, but if you are inferring that I am in “cahoots” with Eric in some way you are way off base sir. I had posted one of the first posts inquiring about information regarding the sMS-1000 months ago and you responded saying that you had just received a unit and would be preparing a review. I found Eric as a dealer here in California and I purchased my units from him – beyond that I have no affiliation with Eric what so ever. He is what I stated however. The knowledge and customer support given by Eric was, and is, unmatched. I don’t know what has gone on between you and Eric, but I have been eagerly awaiting your review of the SOtM gear, it just came out, and I am now responding with my experiences – thus the “timing” of my response. I thought that this is what this forum was all about! My post regarding the SOtM gear and my experience are 100% my own, unsolicited, honest thoughts - plain and simple. I really don’t understand why a member of this forum can not comment about a local dealer that went above and beyond for them with a purchase. Eric really does know the ins and outs of this gear! I’m going to say it again - I have no affiliation with Eric other than I bought this gear from him, had a great experience and would like to let other members know. Again, I don’t know what went on between you and Eric, but Eric is a first class person and a top rate dealer and deserves to be mentioned.
  5. Hello all, I am happy to say that I actually own a sMS-1000 and I’m loving it! The unit is so easy to use; it looks beautiful and sounds great! I have slowly, but surely, ripped all my CD’s directly into the sMS-1000 utilizing the slick ripping slot located on the front of the unit. Slide your CD in the slot and the server pulls it in. Once your CD has been inserted into the server, the server goes out searching and comes back with all the information about the album complete with cover art. Within minutes your CD has been ripped, bit perfect, into the server. It’s great! and so easy. (I also have it set up to where the server also backs up my newly ripped or downloaded music to a back up NAS) All this information is then instantly available on my iPad to start playing. I can even rip discs and still listen to music at the same time. Gotta love it. BTW – my CD’s that have been ripped into the sMS-1000 sound better then the CD played thru my $14,000 CD player too! That was a very pleasant surprise because I thought my CD player sounded great in the first place. I’m not a big computer techie guy but the Linux platform along with the open source Vortexbox that allows for input from sources all over the world makes sense to me. The ability to go in and add and change things as new technology becomes available is imperative. I have only used the USB output thus far, but plan to listen to the other output sources as well. There are so many different things one can try with this unit or one can just plug and play it. This is a well put together unit and I’m glad that I choose to purchase it.
  6. I spoke with the good people at Goodwins yesterday and they have just finished setting up their new SMS 1000. They're excited to get the unit fired up and told me to check back at the end of the week for their impressions. They are great folks.
  7. OK great. I'm glad to know that Chris has one in his possession and is undoubtedly going to run it through its paces. It will be of great interest to hear his impressions of this unit. Thank you Chris for everything that you do for all of us and our hobby!
  8. Yes, I guess it is a bit early. I can not find any information as far as anyone having actual first hand experience with the unit. Hopefully someone will have some information soon. Thank you for responding to my post.
  9. Does anyone have any experience with the new SOTM SMS 1000 Music Server? I know that it is fairly new to the market, but I am considering buying one and wonder if anyone has any insight on the unit? Thank you
