Best Integrated, period.
Just goes to show, I tried out a Unison Research S6, not the SE version and I thought it was frankly poor, dull, lacking in detail, dynamics. All these opinions are system, particularly speaker dependent and ear of course. I still say, I have hear... 
CD player to compete with my vinyl rig?
Another vote for Resolution Audio opus 21. I owned one for several years. I once heard it against a more expensive Esoteric unit, I forget which one and the contrast was really dramatic. The Esoteric, harder edged, very neutral, but harsh to my ea... 
Good speakers under 10K.
I know I'm biased, but you can't go wrong with Daedalus speakers. Beautiful to look at and they sound stunning, easy to drive, neutral, transparent, very quick, built to sound near to a live sound. There is a used pair on the Audiocircle site unde... 
Tron Seven Phono
Pierre1976, Sorry, I did'nt do it, Graham at GT audio did. I think he just took a ground wire from the power input on the motor, to the casing of the motor. Ask Graham at GT Audio, as I have already said, he is very helpful. Unless you are very go... 
Music Server/DAC in Same Box
I auditioned the Olive 0H4D and OH6D, at a local dealers in a good Krell and Kef Blade system. Un fortunately, I thought both were poor, flat, lacking dynamics and stage depth. I say unfortunately, because I wanted a one box streaming solution as ... 
Oh, to be a high end dealer for a year.
Don't you think that the really High End will do OK in a recession? The super rich are always with us and in fact, are growing exponentially. It's us wage slaves in the middle, that are suffering. So it's the sellers of $2 to 4000 that are feeling... 
Macbook Pro As CD Source
A quick question, is there any real sonic difference between the Macbook pro and Mac mini, as a source for a DAC? Thanks 
Tron Seven Phono
Moonglum Pierre. There is an easy fix, just earth the motor. Perhaps Thomas will do that to all the Ravens now. I agree that it is a great table, best I have had and it is taying forever. Even if there are problems, a company and it's distributors... 
Which cost more: your system or your car?
System, I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I have a C class Merc, but I always buy second hand, as I try to with HiFi, so it was'nt that expensive 
Isolation platforms: TW Raven, Shindo
Well I have tried out the Stillpoints ultra and I have to say, I am a little disappointed. Yes they do give a little more clarity, air and apparently, the feeling of an oppened soundstage, to vinyl, but only marginally better than the Stillpoints ... 
Zensati Cables
I suspect the price is going to put them way out of my league, unless I change career to a master criminal 
Tron Seven Phono
Moonglum, Speed control went haywire,it stated revolving about 500RPM, very alarming. evidently it can be due to static build up, though it has'nt happened to TW before. So Thomas sent a new motor and controller free, worth over £1000 and Graham f... 
Tron Seven Phono
I have heard the Tron and very nice it is too. Why not ask the designer and builder. Graham Tricker at GT audio. He is very helpful and a strong supporter of his customers(he just repaired my TW accustic Raven one for free , even though it is 4 te... 
Isolation platforms: TW Raven, Shindo
I have been using Stillpoints under my Raven one, a clear improvement on the millenium feet the table was fitted with when I bought, I am aware that the table is fitted with OEM stillpoints now. Other solutions such as Black Ravioli and HRS were n... 
Granite stands for speakers experiment
I have used granite slabs and svelte shelves. Both were helpful, but I have to say with my speakers, I could'nt hear a difference between them and the granite is a lot cheaper.
