| Try This With Your SS Amp No problem heating the house over here! | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @pindac Very nice. Is the sub-plinth beneath the main plinth, or is it a plinth within a plinth? Mine is 6 layers and sits on Townshend pods, but I might build a sub-plinth if I go for a second round. One thing that decreased my cost importin... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @pindac Try Panzerholz. You can order from their Canadian distributor BK Industrial. About $1000 for enough to build a plinth. Very difficult to work with, but I managed to complete a 2-arm plinth for my Technics SP-10 MK3. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @noromance Same here. I’ve one turntable with 12” and 9” arms going to a solid state phonostage, and another turntable with a 12” arm going to a tube phonostage. Very nice to choose based on the music! | |
| Warming up digital in my setup I built a box with 2 Western Electric 111C transformers wired in parallel 1:1 between my digital and preamp. Old Japanese trick, softens it up, filters out hash, sounds more “analog”. Not for everyone but I love it. | |
| SkyfiAudio @stereo5 WOW! I could tell from their descriptions that they don’t properly do their homework, but THIS is just unacceptable. If I was my younger punk self I’d mail them a turd. | |

| Are there any balanced electronic X-over's? Bryston B10 | |
| Nucleus, is there a better alternative? @sns Right, thank you. I have fiberoptic internet service, but not sure what benefit that would grant me unless I went fully optical and even then that would only really matter for the DSPs, not the files? Either way, NAS or server, I’d want to us... | |
| Nucleus, is there a better alternative? I’m in a similar boat, had to stop short of completing my digital chain in the last few months but am in need of a server. I’m currently playing files: Macbook (w/ external drive) > Airplay > Airport Express > Mini Toslink > Bricasti M... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. +1 @lewm | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I run Pass Aleph 1.2 monos and the mids and highs are absolutely addictive. | |
| MoFi controversy A lot of misinformation regarding digital vs vinyl in this thread. | |
| MoFi controversy 10k+ records here over the past 35 years, some $1 some $1000, none Mofi. |
