| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? One more thing about Basis - amazing customer service. I sent them my motor, bearing and platter to check out and they did it in one day. Adjusted the motor, oiled the bearing, checked tolerances and speed stability. All for a $120 service cha... | |
| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? Actually, the used prices for Basis tables seems amazingly low. Yes, 5k for a Vector 4 arm is a lot of money, but that seems to be what the traffic will bear for most good arms. | |
| phono upgrade vs replacing stylus As long as you have the Tom Evans set up for a moving magnet cartridge, I don't think you should be hearing anything as bad as you claim. I think you need someone to come over and take a look. Where did you buy your equipment? If you bought new... | |
| phono upgrade vs replacing stylus Everything in your system is good. The Ortofon and the Tom Evans are fine. I think the sound just doesn't match what you have in your memory from 30 years ago. If your system is properly set up - and by that I mean reasonably well set up, you a... | |
| Dedicated Red Book CD player vs. "Universal" type players.... In the end, it's all about your own level of sonic perfection required. Get the Oppo, break it in and then, maybe 6 months to a year down the road, compare it with a really good redbook player or DAC. You'll either say - wow, this dac is amazing... | |
| Dedicated Red Book CD player vs. "Universal" type players.... My personal experience has been, and this is very condensed and generalized, that dedicated CD players sound better playing redbook than multi-function players of equivalent cost. I've owned the Sony SCD 9000 and 5400, as well as an Esoteric X-05... | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp I think he's looking for analog interconnects. | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? "We built our reputation for extremely advanced individual conductor insulation and dielectric binding technologies like CAFPE®, SATI® and SASDB®. "That's good enough for me. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions You don't hear a difference and and you're asking others what you should be hearing. OK, I understand perfectly. Thank you. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Your plight is similar to anyone who buys a component based on a purported technical superiority. It doesn't always work, as you see. I'm not the one saying there is no difference between the Oppo and Schitt - you are. The only way to judge a c... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions You may never hear a difference. Consider yourself lucky in some ways. The Oppos are decent machines and as good as many people require. My suggestion is to stop thinking about it, leave the dac in the system for a month and then take it out. Some... | |

| Burn In on Aurender N100H All digital without tubes should be left on for at least 24 hours before any critical listening is done. If you don't like it after 30 days, I would send it back pronto. I know some say that certain components take 500 hours to burn in, and it i... | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world Most people I have met in this hobby have no idea of what they are listening to, no idea of what real music sounds like, judge audio based on reviews and what others say, and think that a speaker that can play loud with powerful juke-box bass is g... | |
| Is anyone familiar with Infinity Slope brand speakers? Check out Infinite Slope. There's a lot out there. They look pretty nice. |
