View Classified UpTone Audio UltraCap LPS-1.2 Essentially new. Has been powered up and never used with a load. I thought I would use it with my opticalRendu but didn't realize the power draw from the optical would be too high, which I am instead driving with a SGC LPSU. $320 includes PayPal fees and shipping to continental US.

View Classified Purist Audio Design Aqueous Aureus BAL: XLR-XLR 1.0M Good condition, original owner. Had to replace with longer lengths. Listing is for a 1.0 M pair of balanced XLR cables. Note: if you are unfamiliar with PAD cables - these are thick and not very bendable. The cables have a dampening material (Contego: a ratio mixture of Fluid and Ferox) that is meant to help reject RF EMI and provides mechanical dampening. The dampening material is sealed inside the cable surrounding the core conductors making the cable more difficult to bend/route than other cables. See http://www.puristaudiodesign.com/Data/products/interconnects/int_aqu.html# for details on the Aqueous series which is a good balance of price vs performance in their line.

Cool - really nice guy. I bought my Sasha 2's from Maier.

That looks like Maier Shadi from the AudioSalon LA in the final photo - just curious?

I have had the Merrill Audio Veritas Monoblocks for a number of years, they are based on the Hypex NC1200. I am really happy with them, and Merrill is a really nice guy to deal with

I was using XLR. I didn't try BNC. I am now set up with microRendu, Uptone LPS-1 to DAVE via USB and really happy with the sound.

I have used GIK acoustics http://www.gikacoustics.com They have a good product range, some stuff is more attractive than others, price was reasonable and they offer free room/setup advise before purchase

I have the following booked and coming up this year U2 Nick Cave Natalie Merchant Depeche Mode Festival - including Mumford and Sons, Weezer, and many others Just recently saw Bell X1

I noticed this at the end of your post - are there rumors of add-ons?

Thanks, I actually tried a few of these myself. The BADA Series 2 (since this is what I replaced), the Bricasti (non SE version) and I had a few days with both the DAVE and the BADA Reference Series 2. I was surprised out how much more detail and separation the DAVE had over the BADA RS 2 but I thought the vocals on the BADA RS 2 were nicer, to me they just seemed a little warmer and more forward. That said, that one area of improvement (to my ears) wasn't enough to offset everything the DAVE brought to the table and certainly not at the price differential.

Just bought a microRendu, looking forward to trying it with the DAVE

Just bought the microRendu. Looking forward to trying it out.

Sorted, thanks.

Thanks, that was the generally feeling I had.
