New Technics SL 1200 GAE
cleeds:I think tzh21y was conveying that tone-are wire leads are an area where many people experiment in order to affect better sound. Not that they are continually changing the wires due to some type of problem. It's a less drastic way to experim...

Ralph:In your sofa analogy, where are the persons who are supposed to represent the bearings positioned? I am trying to picture this analogy and it is not working in my head LOL (maybe its my head :). If they're both facing each other along the lo... 
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
tzh21y:I have the GAE and my experience is that the arm sounds great. I actually look at it as a freebie considering the low cost of the G/GAE (low compared to the other low-tech MDF TT’s being pushed on the unsuspecting public; many times at much... 
review iPhono 2
dougolsen:No problem. The modicum of brightness that I attribute to the iPhono 2 is due solely and entirely to the SMPS. Anyone who has read my posts knows I am not a fan of SMPS's as I have never heard a SMPS perform at the level of a competently... 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Nah, my mk3 NGS sounds far far beyond what a mk3 in the original housing sounds like. The 10R is nice and Fremer sure seemed to like the player. I'm good with my GAE and MK3. I thought I might buy the 10R when it was announced but I honestly don't... 
Dated but still A rated DACs
As far as dac chips go, the BB PCM-63K, and the PCM 1704 were tops but the king in my opinion is non other than the Philips TDA 1541 S2 Double Crown. the 1541 has a sound that is hard to describe. I have two custom AMR CD 77.1's one of which has a...

dougolsen:You are on the right track. Cut off the cable from the old supply (I know I don't have to say this but better safe than sorry) with the wall-wart unplugged. You a DMM (digital multimeter) or a continuity test with probesl to determine wh...

review iPhono 2
dougolsen:When you get your unit back and all is good, you may eventually want to try a Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO for a nice increase in performance. I aslo have the Sbooster Ultra attachment which connects to the split-current module. I hav...

dougolsen:just a thought. I've never made configurtion changes with the unit powered up. Not saying you did, but if you did I don't know how the stage would behave.

Raul:Man your going to burst a blood vessel. Wrong again, the PH77 was $12k and with my Bendix and MU 6900 tubes more like $14k. I'm going to listen to my shame of a phono stage :) get some helpdougolsen:i have not not seen that behavior. I'd take...
