  1. Uuuaaahh. Please don't include Tidal and it's MQA scam/dreck 🙄😇

    I completely switched to Qobuz to avoid that MQA dreck from Tidal altogether 😉
  4. I don't know if FTA will be in Munich. But you would have to bring your USB cable to compare. I don't think you can hear the influence of a single USB cable in a completely unknown System and I don't think any exhibitor would let you swap cables at the Show. Where are you located and what DAC do you have? I have two Callistos but because my Lampi DACs don't Need the power for the handshake, I ordered my USB cables without power...
  5. Christiaan Punter from hifi-advice.com just published a Review of the Final Touch Audio USB cable Callisto https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/cables-reviews/reviews-digital-cable/final-touch-audio-callisto-usb-cable/
  6. I own the Cantata 2.0 and already my most modest preamp made such a big difference that I don't want to listen without preamp anymore. I wanted to ditch the pre and only listened without preamp directly into a lot of different amps and was satisfied with the sound... ...until a guest hard pressed me to insert one of my preamps. Oh boy, what huge step up in sound quality. So much more fluid and palpable and so much more alive. No way to go back to without preamp for me. Btw. I have several different Lampizator DAC models in house and already a modest Atlantic Plus bested my trusty Cantata 2.0 sonically that I felt pity for my beloved Cantata 2.0.
  7. I don't think it is very expensive and it comes from Serbia. I do think it has an absolutely excellent price-performance-ratio ?
  8. Why not? I have one 90 cm and one 130 cm. They are handmade, so within reason, everything should be possible .
  9. Have you compared the FTA Callisto to to the Valhalla? If not, how can you make such statements?
  10. Directly to the Curious and to the LH 10G as I own those as well. To the Wireworld Platinum (sorry, not Diamond) directly at Stenheim, where I begged to please swap back to the FTA asap and at my friend Golum's place. The good people at Stenheim bought the FTA after the compare at their place. Golum sold his Wireworld Platinum soon later. My friend Norman has the Lush and could comment. Some time before FTA we compared the Lush, Curious and LH 10G at my place, the Lush was about the same level as the Curious with different signature and both where behind the LH 10G. So I don't think I'm too far off saying the Lush is no contest for the FTA ?
  11. Another league. No compare, the FTA destroys the Lush, the Curious and even the LH 10G had no chance. The Wireworld Diamond even sounded broken compared to the FTA ?
  12. It is very close, just a matter of days. Like it has been for over a year now. Or was it two years in the meantime?
  13. There is only one way to deal with this: Don't feed the troll ?
