Jazzonthehudson: will do. 
PS Audio Direct Stream
Sabai: I can only speak for me and not objectively for everyone; at this point, I would say the DP is better but the DSD has not been fully run-in. I do have Duelend VSF Black output caps installed in my unit and while they are better than the ori... 
PS Audio Direct Stream
Well, mine hasn't been stock for a while and I have not had them side by side but I can say the DSD is the only dac (aside from the DCS Vivaldi stack) which put me in mind of the AMR. From what I have been told (by a reliable source) the SE versio...

Chris has produced new lock rings for the SP10 MK3 made of brass and austenitic stainless steel. I had them in tonight for an in home audition. I compared the stock aluminum to the brass and steel using Vanessa Fernandez's outstanding album "Use M... 
Stand out phono stages
For anything under $5k, don't sneeze at an iFi iPhono. When properly run-in it sounds quite frankly unbelieveable (especially when cost is considered). Mike Fremer did not place this unit in his +$100K system with the MC Anna for nothing, he knows... 
Jasmine 2.5du vs ifi iphono vs Audio Vista mk2
The iPhono is definitely NOT etched. I own the AMR PH77 and I have an iPhono and I had a Graaf GM70 phono stage with about $1000.00 worth of tubes in it. The iPhono once fully run it has a signature just like the AMR PH77 but not quite the weight ... 
PS Audio Direct Stream
Ok, listened to the DSD with the Aria music server. Flat out sensational. If I didn't know my way around computers the way I do (not boasting, I am a software developer) I would probably buy an Aria. If I were shopping for a dac, I would most like... 
PS Audio Direct Stream
We were using a Pioneer Elite player for the last listening session. The Aria Music server is in place but we needed a Rj45 to WiFi converter in order to connect it to the wireless network. That adapter will be installed today. So if it sounded th... 
PS Audio Direct Stream
Just finished an extended listening session with the PS Audio DSD after installing 2 AMR MK2 fuses. Simply one of the finest dacs I have ever heard. Bravo PS Audio I really believe they deserve a huge congratulations!!!! I have heard the $90K CH P... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
AMR DP-777 being fed by a Mac mini on an Atomic Labs Mac Mini Platform. The Mac mini feeds an iFi Gemini cable (this cable beat and displaced my former $3k Locus Design Cynosure USB cable) into a iFi iUSB and then to another Gemini USB cable into ... 
Stand out phono stages
AMR PH77 with Bendix Red Bank 6900 tubes in the output being powered (currently) with a PS Audio P600.., simply mind bending.Honorable mention goes out to my former Graaf GM70 and believe it or not.., (I can just see the looks on peoples faces :).... 
Help me buy a Garrard
Pani; My pleasure. Have fun on your journey :) 
Help me buy a Garrard
Pani: Concerning which bearing to go with, grease Sched 1 or schedule 2 oil? Whichever is in better condition :) If you are going with a newer bearing it wont matter anyways and if you ever saw the original bearing of a Garrard flat spindle (conta...

Ohlala; I have personally visited Chris and handled the new platter for the MKII. It is simply a work of art. The machined tolerances are so tight I could not feel the seam where the copper met the other metal, very impressive!
