Anybody knows where I could have a Cmoy amp troubleshot in NYC? I bought one and I get funny noises on the left channel - wandering if I got some short to the case and picking up electromagnetic interference but can not figure out by myself.

Did you build it or buy it built?

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Bought it built, but it's a headache to send it back. Postage will end up beeing almost as much as the amp. Think is probably just a bad contact.

And you think the repair on it will be less than the postage?

After I've sold my higher end stuff, paid rent, and recovered... I have a buddy who is willing to sell me either of these combos at a good price:

A) Audio-GD Reference 5 (old USB--I'd need to upgrade it) + Audio-GD ROC
B) Meieir Audio Daccord + ALO Amphora
C) Any combination of the above.
X) He also can sell me a Twisted Pear Opus Balanced/Single Ended DAC using Wolfson WM8740 chips with coax input only and a Red Wine Audio Transit, a battery operated USB/SPDIF converter.

The Daccord + Amphora combo would be about $100 more than the Audio-GD stack.

Anyone have any thoughts on the stacks or even the individual pieces?

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin
