| Au revoir, MHDT Orchid, you're a great DAC but... I really liked mine and still have it in a second system. I moved on some time ago, first to a Teac NT-505, which had a similar "warm" sound but more detail, then to an Aqua La Voce S3 FPGA DAC, which was more neutral and transparent and now to a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nothing like a little Queen to start the day - News of the World. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I haven't been keeping up with the thread. I've been on vacation and haven't been around the computer much. Working my way through Elton John - Madman Across The Water, and possibly my favorite - Tumbleweed Connection. | |
| Heist/ crime songs Not exactly rock, but The City Sleeps by MC 900 Ft Jesus romanticizes arson. | |
| Seeking DAC using the ESS ES9038PRO, but not a streamer DACs I've heard with Sabre chips have sounded bright and more "digital" to me. Basing a $14,000 or more decision based on an Oppo or a chip is not something I'd recommend to anyone. | |
| Hey Sota - Whatever Happened To Customer Service? Pick up the phone and call them. Donna is very responsive. I find it helpful to remember that I'm not the center of the universe in situations like this, especially around the holidays when people are taking time off to spend with their loved one... | |

To me, Rythmik subs fall in that category, especially when compared to Rel and other brands sold through dealer networks. An actual budget... | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... Reach out to Rythmik and get a recommendation from them. Get at least 2 subs, preferably 4. If space is your major consideration take a look at the new KEF subs. They are surprisingly good for their size and price. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Mingus - Oh Yeah, last night. Speakers Corner. Not an "audiophile" recording, but the pressing and mastering are really nice, the sound quality is excellent and the vinyl is really quiet. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tull - Aqualung | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus. I should pull this record out more often. | |
| I can't believe this. "I think they may be able to do a priority service for you, however as I mentioned, most of our service centers that do provide priority service have a fee for it". That sounds like an option to me. Nobody's coercing you to do anything. | |
| VPI turntables I no longer have my VPI table, but +1 on the dual pivot mod. Easy to do and no more wobbling. |
