Synergistic Research HFT are you using them?
I did not find them to make any difference though the person doing the demo would proclaim marked improvement in ( insert audiophile word of the day ) each time another set was added. I do believe in room treatment, vibration control etc. I just w... 
Tidal HiFi Streaming?
I have been very pleased with Tidal. I used to use spottily on my wireless living room system, but would be disappointed in my main system, ( verity audio, herron, MSB ). I now listen to Tidal on both and have spent a whole day doing some serious ... 
Nottingham Ace Spacedeck Tweaks
I had a Nottingham Spacedeck for a number of years and loved it. I also did a lot of modifications on it, one step at a time. It was a Spacedeck with the new arm. The biggest benefit I noticed was going to the heavy kit. It seemed like a lot of mo... 
Lego turntable

Single ended RCA preamp short list

TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service

Looking For A Billy Bags Audio Rack
they are tough and expensive to ship. Where are you located, that might help with recommendations. 
New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers
I think that they are on the right path. I have saved my money for the first coal fired steam amps to come out. I would guess that they are just around the corner. 
Time to blast off from Rhea
though I no longer listen to vinyl I used to have a Herron phono stage, VTPH-2 and it was dead quiet. I did demo the Rhea and really preferred the Herron. You can have you cake and eat it to. I have heard the AR, forget which and it did not have m... 
Computer vs CD/SACD discs
Boy, some really great responses. I am going from a primarily analog, ( vinyl ) system to digital. Am working on doing computer but other than streaming from something like spottily I am struggling to understand the value of putting my music on a ... 
MSB Analog DAC experience
thank all for your input. I am going from primarily an analog set up to computer audio due to space constraints. I went ahead and ordered an Analog DAC with volume and upgrade power supply. We'll see how it goes.
