| USB cable hype "No noise, no jitter, no errors! What more could you ask for?" While those are good goals to theoretically try to achieve, I'm sorry to say that in the real world you will never completely eliminate noise, jitter, or errors. You can minimize them ... | |
| Purpose of Dome on Tweeter... The dome of a dome tweeter is the diaphragm, the part that moves the air to create high frequency sound. It is driven by current moving through the voice coil which is in contact with the dome just behind it. Without the dome in place the voice co... | |
| Turntable sibilance With all due respect, the first two responders must not be familiar with the Nottingham Horizon table. While they are correct that the Rega arm itself does not have adjustable VTA, the arm mount of the Horizon provides that adjustment. There are t... | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Stringreen - If you're still using a VPI tonearm as in your system listing, you seem to be ignoring the fact that it has some inherent anti-skating force that the wire loop provides.

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Ricred1 - Sorry if my post upset you, I was merely following up on your post about other superior DACs which you 'guaranteed' exist. By your statement I thought that you had personally experienced some, but apparently not. I was only politely requ... | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Yogiboy - I have read that using the grooveless record setup in the way you describe is not truly accurate, since the skating force is different when the stylus is actually in a groove. Anti-skating force is more accurately set by optimizing sound... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Ricred1 - Would you please share more about which other DACs you find superior to the M1 and in what ways? TIA! | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? It is incorrect to state that VPI doesn't believe in anti-skating. Harry has stated that he greatly prefers the sound of his unipivot arms with the inherent anti-skating force that the tonearm wire loop provides, compared to a mechanical anti-skat... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Always nice to hear when an upgrade works out and even exceeds your expectations! It's always a bit of a risk. Looking forward to further details on your experience in due time. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Upgrade The actual cost will vary with distance, but the best way to ship Magnepan speakers is via Old Dominion Freight and they are best protected when strapped to a pallet. That is how the company ships them, and OD has a special rate for loudspeakers t... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Glad to hear that your M1 DAC is continuing to improve and that it's already exceeding your admittedly high expectations! It should continue to evolve with more break-in time along with your new USB cable. It is indeed a superbly engineered and bu... | |
