| jitter I don’t think jitter causes dropouts. Are you using WiFi? If you are, that’s more likely the issue I think. | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning Novus plastic polishing kit. As @mijostyn said, work in straight lines. I don’t know if you will get them out, but you may be able to make them somewhat less visible. After that, just dust with a swiffer. If you can’t get anywhere with the Novus, ... | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition I was watching several different performers playing the piece on You Tube yesterday and I was astounded at the differences in approach. The touch, tempo, dynamics. When I was in school, we studied the fact that the “scholars” differed on how older... | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice As you seem to like what you have, I would recommend trying some “better” cables from the cable company. In my experience, the difference between cables can range anywhere from no difference to “holy sh%t” and the only way to tell is to try. I wo... | |
| Anxiety help needed. New instal of Hana ML I have had cartridges with the cantilevers slightly off, but looked fine when playing a record. Welcome to the world of analog. If this bothers you, call your dealer. That’s what they get paid for. | |
| Ear training suggestions Take piano lessons. | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room Check out Quadraspire. A lot of options, but check the depth. I would probably do a single for the TT and put it right next to a double wide so you have some mechanical separation for the vinyl. | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) I have to agree with @ghdprentice. You are focused on the speakers, but there’s a lot more out there than Bluesound , RME and NAD. Bring your RME into a dealer and ask them to demo it against some other dacs and see what you think. | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed Why don’t you have the Mac CD player serviced? | |
| Ayre C-5xe to Kii 3 speakers using AES Personally, if it’s a new system, I would start with Mogami or some other pro cable and listen for a few months. Because when you get a me component you don’t know if it’s the unit, the cable or something else. So buy some Mogami cables, sort ever... | |
| New R2R DAC The AN 2.1x signature is excellent , but stretch to the 3 series is you can. Or at least the 2.1x signature balanced. Also remember the 2.1x sig is only balanced and spdif. No toslink, usb,I2s. | |
| CD Transport Great choice. Just don’t get a hernia installing it :) | |
| Cambridge Audio DAC magic I think it’s due to the fact that Cambridge products are designed to have an inoffensive, pleasing sound that mates well with lower cost electronics and speakers. Some higher end dacs are designed to be very revealing, which can sound unpleasant w... | |
| CD Transport @cleeds - that photo is definitely from a higher end VRDS. | |
| CD Transport I just want to add that just because Teac says it’s a VRDS (or whatever) doesn’t mean much. I had an Esoteric X-05 with a so-called VRDS transport that was just a glorified plastic transport with a top clamp resembling the clamp in the 701. It was... |
