I completely understand, but with respect, that was a very different situation.Quote:
I have learned from my mistakes. Some people have been expanding what I wrote into what they assume. So now I am more careful and stay away from
that sort of hassle.
Not so long ago you even ended up sending me a PM as a result from a PM sent to you by someone else to question me about a message on the forum that appears to have been by me. Whilst you even phoned me to apologize about the misunderstanding, the instigator of the 'cut & paste' and the person who complained to you never showed such decency towards me. Since then I have used extreme caution where possible with regards to anything I write on AoS that has to do with my products. I never know where it could end up being used with 'my name' being attached to it.
This time you've got one of the forum owners asking you a question and seeking some specific information.
In those circumstances, it's best not to be evasive and supply the requested information A.S.A.P because he'll just keep asking anyway until he gets it..... ;)
Not to worry, it's good now that the rather grey area regarding the cost of the Caiman PSU has been cleared up and put into the public domain for reference. You know that I'm a big supporter of your products :cool:
Marco.
Of that I have no doubt. We do go back many years and many collective forum expulsions after all:eyebrows:.Quote:

Fair comment I'd say?
Indeed! But you should know that doesn't apply to me, not least because I couldn't solder anything to save my life!! :lolsign:Quote:

What?! There's another Caiman singing in the Netherlands? :steam:Quote:

The Caiman showed it's superiority after only several hours burn-in as it was more detailed and musical at the same time. My DAC-1 had also benefitted from an upgraded power cord, and it still lost (and has found a new owner since). The Benchmark is more hefty and rugged (for pro studio use), but that's not relevant to me, nor I imagine most in this forum. The Caiman is still being broken in, and doesn't even have the upgraded PSU which I've ordered (waiting patiently, Stan).
Given that the Caiman costs about 1/4 what the equivalent model Benchmark costs, Stan is to be congratulated for offering such value to the consumer.
Good point - I forgot that. It's only the "USB" model and later that use the LM4562's.Quote:
