| At what point is an external D/A converter warranted or beneficial The Oppo is probably the weak link in your digital chain. You could send the signal out to an external DAC and hear some improvement in SQ. A better and more meaningful upgrade would be to get a dedicated high quality CD player. There's a signi... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber - For me one of the best things about the newer streaming services, particularly Tidal and Qobuz, has been the ability to discover new music. For the most part I stopped listening to commercial radio years ago and don't watch much TV, so my ... | |

| Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept I'll keep that in mind if I decide I need to do jumping jacks while listening to vinyl. I think I'm good for now. I have a couple of fairly well damped tables both on Symposium bases. I can walk around the room without them skipping and they do... | |
| Beginner's Guide to Replace Cartridge on Music Hall MMF 2.2 The first thing I did when I got my 2.2 was try to try to install a new cartridge and I broke one of the wires. Fortunately I have a local repair shop that is much more reasonable than the one you spoke with and I think it was about $50-$75 to ge... | |
