| Tortuga Preamps George, I had thought that the Tortuga's calibration of the LDR's LED control current curve is invoked periodically by the user on an as-needed basis, not "actively" or on-the-fly. If it's performed only periodically, how will this degrade SQ? | |
| First time mount perfect!!! Since my Kuzma 4PT and SME 3012R both have removable headshells, I can usually replicate perfect cartridge/headshell geometry on the workbench under a large magnifier. Slide 'em into the tonearm and good to go. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! @bdp24 Hopefully that wasn't when they recorded Cheap Thrills with Janice Joplin. | |
| Used DACs in the 10k range If your PC is a desktop with a PCIe slot, I would first recommend a JCAT Net Card Femto with an external 5V LPS. That made a major improvement for me with the SOtM endpoint. Also, I've heard the Terminator in the same system as the Aqua Formula.... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Yikes, "proconsul," please. "Pro Counsel" is Michael Cohen, Tom Hagen, or something in between. | |
| Aurender vs. Roon The video is harsh, but I kind of get it. Much of computer audio is off-the-shelf standard parts shrink-wrapped for audiophiles allergic to computers. But those linear power supplies do make a difference relative to standard switching power suppli... | |

| Speaker wire... Diy? Over the years I’ve had commercial speaker cables to $15K and several DIY recipes. My favorite is a DIY of stacked, soft-annealed .999 silver foils and solid silver spades. Termination is solderless with compression fittings and all internal matin... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten Yes, absolutely. Ralph is tremendous. I'm part of an older group of Atma owners who has modified his gear. Unlike pretty much every other high-end manufacturer, he remains supportive, and has generously helped me out of problems that I brought ... | |
| One can dream - ultimate ripping/streaming set up Inexpensive dbpoweramp software on any laptop with a CD/DVD reader via wireless to any CPU storage medium gets it done in minutes. | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? Lots of LessLoss DIY 64x Firewalls for power cords, and a JCAT Net Card Femto for the computer. | |
| Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A If you’re looking for a weight that will flatten an LP against the platter, anything above 1 lb. (like the Stillpoints LPI) will do it. I have an LPI, but have found that, except for severely cupped records, the lighter and less expensive Starsoun... | |
| APOXNA 2019--My Friday Morning Show Review You're forgiven. Nice reviews! | |
| APOXNA 2019--My Friday Morning Show Review Jeez, it’s Axpona!!! | |
| Where to get a modestly priced 5 volt Linear Power Supply? An ebayed 5V/2A Chinese Zerozone LPS is a bit more @$130 including shipping. I've had great results with this powering a JCAT Net Card Femto in my music server. |
