Time Delay on Denafrips Ares ii ?
I have an Aries II, but do not use it with the TV/HT set-up, so never tried to sync it with video. Seems per 'King' the latency should be small. But, I know my TV has sync adjustment (most all today do), so I'm not sure why you shouldn't be able t...

@big_greg  Most (if not all) of the few mono releases I have are newer releases, so the Hana (or another with a 0.7mil) should be best.  My trusty Jelco 750D makes it easy to swap out cartridges. Absolutely Greg. If you have new mono releases,...

What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you?

@big_greg I have a few mono LP”s, and decided on Ortofon’s 2M ‘inexpensive’ mono cart. I like it. I went back and forth regarding getting a phono pre with a mono switch, but after studying the theory of that vs a dedicated mono cart, went for th...
