Same reason I run later technology tires on my Porsche Turbo, but I nor my engine builder has ever wanted to rub oil in the engine bay or on the engine for that matter :)Just saying.., there are analogies and then their are classic examples of "st...

Correction: I meant to write "I simply wanted the community to be aware", NOT "beware".., my bad. 
Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
I can only speak for my ears, eyes and nostrils. I hear no grey-ness whatsoever with my SP10MK 3 and I have listened to a fully sorted Artisan 301 with the statement bearing and also my excellent AMR DP777 with hi resolution files as well as some ... 
CI Audio or King Rex PSU for Squeezebox Touch
Perhaps I misunderstood. I never had th Touch, I was commenting on the PSU itself and as used with the Kingrex USB to SPDIF converter where it made quite a difference for the better over the stock wall wart. It is a heavy little fella, with a toro...

When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Ptss: You are very correct, power cords as well as wall sockets have a profound effect on my system. I use one of the original PSAudio P300's to power the phono stage and TT. I plan to power the entire system with a few P10's eventually. The P300 ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I love digital but I am now the newly converted (analog). When it is done RIGHT, and I mean every cylinder needs to be firing correctly Analog is in my opinion sans pareil. I for years would state and still to this day believe that when you have s... 
Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s?
Also he replaced the board IN YOUR HOUSE in your presence and he explained ALL this to you! You very well knew and understood all that was taking place. People like you take the fun out of this hobby. I hate dishonest people. 
Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s?
Wow!!! Just saw this. As someone who has dealt with the Avatar US distributor on more than a few occassions I have to chime in and say the accusation that a former fighter pilot STOLE a chip out of a player he reps (the owner of Avatar Acoustics) ...
