Tale of two turntables
thanks guys. I think I'm gonna take the plunge and try modding my denon.  There's a lot to like and I can only imagine it will get better.  @lewm thanks for the recommendation of the headshell, I think I'll try it!  
Tale of two turntables
I've tried the Apheta on the Lenco.  It sounds good but I think it's better with the Rega arm.  I'm pretty happy with leaving the Apheta on the P3.  I realize it's kind of a mismatch in terms of having such a high end cart on such a lowly table bu... 
exploring DACs
I think $2,500 is the upper limit of my budget.  Used would be best, though I am considering the ANK kit

Interesting experience with two very different speaker designs
@pfiche and @arafiq I think you are both right.  arafiq, I am definitely a beginner hobbyist and I was genuinely shocked that the speakers I made sounded as good as they do.  The other OB designs I made, though promising, had serious flaws.  I wou... 
Interesting experience with two very different speaker designs
@pficheYes, that was my general assessment of the W8 Eminence 15 combo!  Great for drums guitar and vocals.  Bass energy could get a bit boomy even after I put them on spikes.  I agree about the dryness.  Its not the meatiest of midranges though i... 
Small green computer sonic transport i5
I've had mine for 5 months now.  Great purchase.  Much more stable and better sound quality than using my iMac as a roon core.  I also use it with a uRendu 
room treatment behind TV?
Thanks for the info guys!  I think I'm gonna try the diffusers behind each speaker and I'll experiment with a blanket over the tv 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
I am a professional pianist and I feel that piano is one of the hardest instruments to really reproduce.  Maybe I'm biased because its my instrument but I think because of its enormous range and complexity of interacting overtones, not just with s... 
Need speaker advice
I have Tektons (Electron SEs) and I love them.  I was less than enthusiastic about the looks at first but they grew on me.  Especially when you hear what comes out of them.  I think the perfect SET would be the best model for your amp.  I recommen... 
can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP
