How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ?
Chakster, nice setup.I note a CU-180 on the far 444? What tone arms do you have in use?I will be forgoing all my tables for either the Luxman PD-444 I have my eye on, or the Micro Seiki SX111FV, which ever comes first. 
How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ?
ChaksterThe Luxman PD-444 (and 555) are some of the best “vintage” tables available. I am moving on acquiring both at the moment. My two current tables are a MS-91L and a Luxman PD-350. I have a PD-310 and my first born JVC QL-Y5F.I had to move my... 
Keeping Insider status

Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best...
This is the first time I have posted anything about my own system. Some components are 250k, and my streamer was 1.5k (until I replaced it with a multi CD/streamer component 9.5k).I felt that there would be a push back from the trolls and naysayer... 
Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies?
I happen to be fortunate to own the Kyron Gaia system that lalitk had a link to. No Swiss gold was transferred, however the Gaia produce the most exquisite musical reproduction I have experienced. That withstanding, it is all dependent on the anal...

Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues
Hear, hear 😝 
Accounting for slight hearing loss
I remember way in the past some of us oldies used equalisers. I would note the comments by @needfreestuff . 
Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp?
@jimcrane I might suggest you have a temperature sensitive open circuit in an amp component or crack in a solder joint which expands/contracts with temperature. Or there is a component in the middle of failure. At least you can isolate the operati... 
So What Is Real?
I am so disappointed that this forum, and in fact much of the posted subject matter in the forums are so bad. I originally came to this forum to commune and learn from the people who know about the subjects who we, want to learn about and from tho... 
confused and don't know what to do
@kbgspy Have you heard the Sennheiser soundbar?I expect not considering your rather cheeky post. Or are you just posting just to stir?I would suggest you listen to one rather than post a throw away line.  
confused and don't know what to do
There is another option if your budget is tight and same with your room size.You want 2 channels and 5.1.4 3D for video and bass to 30Hz. An option is the new Sennheiser AMBEO soundbar. Read the reviews. It’s a great bit of kit and covers all you ... 
Getting close to starting the upgrade process...
