Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill
This has been an interesting thread. It explored a topic we all are involved in, kind of a universal process for all of us. I go with the theory of get a piece, a really good one, that you can build your reference around. There are very few of us ... 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
Tubehead, I'll look around for it. It was Feickert or one of his buddies. Bottom line was that it would probably take north of 300-400 gigs before double blind testing vs a Terabyte would yield the difference undetectable. I still think it may be ...

Don't need edgy. Got up and running about 9 months ago after a 30 yr hiatus from audio. While there can always be improvements, have tweaked with tubes and treatments to achieve a rounded, musical presentation. Not overly warm but sweet. Def 4s wi... 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
Saw a Youtube video with the leading minds of audio on the cutting edge of digital audio exploring the limits of digital audio. Boy were they all into USB, Spdif, jitter, storage and the likes. Turns out the most advanced of the group were long co...

Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Charles, BTW your posts on this forum are very well thought out and informative. Jim is in N Atlanta. But boy does he travel and he really gives it his all when setting up a room. He's a little OCD which in his line of work is a pretty good thing.... 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Just went through the same process and yes, high efficiency speakers solve a lot of problems, including amplifier choices. The differences in sound pressure level with the same power is remarkable and makes the amp selection less restrictive.You h... 
Audience Adept Mod
Does one get the good value using this PC on the front end only? My amps are across the room.

A little late to the party here but nevertheless ready to chime in. First of all, hello tms. Hope you got the speakers pumping.Now, I'm a good reference because I had never set up a turntable and picked this on tms' suggestion. As above, yes Vic i...

Good thoughts on the floor gap. I've been thinking I may go with the Sistrum Apprentice Platforms. For the last few weeks been cleaning vinyl.About the bass and crossover points, the program material has such variation, particularly in bass conten...
