| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. No need to shame his appearance, I’m sure nobody on this forum is Brad Pitt. | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. @dadork No, he’s actually insufferably arrogant, regardless of whether he lands on some truth. To assume some people can’t “listen” more skillfully than others is ignorant. Controlling the brain to focus on specifics in frequency, attack, decay, t... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. He’s right about EQ but his delivery sounds like Tucker Carlson so I ended up vomiting. | |

| 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. | |
| Nucleus, is there a better alternative? Same here, my fiber optic line runs from pole, through wall to an optical box in the house, then ethernet to a router and coax to a few extenders (simply because the coax runs were already here when i move in) but the extenders are pretty crap. | |
| 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... | |
