Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron
I heard Wavac in the Paris show a few years back on Marten speakers and sourced by the Zanden integrated. I still remember what i heard this day. In the same room there was the zanden separate drive and DAC on full Zanden pre and mono blocs. The W... 
Modified Lenco vs TW Raven
I just look at your system and the Lenco is good looking. I'm not a skilled man but it gives me will to try this road myself too. When you do something yourself it can be gratifying. As a basic buyer it's hard to imagine a simple man can do someth... 
Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron
You could consider the Air Tight ATE2. It has 2 phono and 1 line inputs. It is built like a tank and has a marvelous sound that is much more appreciated in Japan than in our countries.It deserves better attention than it really has

As I go further in the idler TT I see another Lenco restorer in the name of Artisan Fidelity. Do anyone tried one of hid Lenco ? It seems the Achates AF and Nantais new Ref are in the same price range.Barba

Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed
On my system and in my room it was crystal clear. Evident in the first seconds. I didn't wait too much of the AC Modules in addition to the Holographic and I was astonished by what they did to musical event. These AC modules surprised me a lot. I ... 
Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed
I had the Stealth and changed it for the Holographic strictly for the better. After that I connected a AC Module in the amps fearing it to be too much of a good thing...and I made another jump in quality.... These things are incredible
