Feickert Blackbird vs Clearaudio Ovation vs Origin Live Sovreign
@arize84 I do believe there may be a slight performance edge to the Soverign but the Enterprise arm will be a great equalizer as its performance can be exceptional on any table. I personally would consider the Pure Fidelity table for its combinati... 
Feickert Blackbird vs Clearaudio Ovation vs Origin Live Sovreign
I have an Origin Live Sovereign with the two arm option.  Currently employ an Enterprise mk4 and an Illustrious 3c.  Excellent table (my third OL) but the design sometimes does not fit certain decors.  A good friend recently acquired a Pure Fideli... 
Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2
I own the DSA Phono2. My previous phono preamp was a VAC so they are both excellent but different. The DSA phono preamps have 3 inputs (both RCA and XLR) and each will remember the setting for that input. I have two tonearms on my table one with a...

VPI unipivot tonearm and AS Smart Tractor
I have used the vertical extension adaptors to place the projector arm above the wire.  You can also disconnect the connector cable and place it so the wire is out of the way since there is no need for the signal during this stage of cartridge ali... 
Roon
I bought a lifetime membership in Roon the first year.  It was an excellent investment.  Currently resides on my Wolf Alpha 3SX server with no issues.    
Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp?
I am using the same high quality power chord into my PowerCell conditioner and from the PowerCell to my Diablo 300.  The combination was decided upon after  different manufacturers, variations, and combinations were employed in trials in the actua... 
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
Parted with three units - Ayre QX5/20 DAC, Ayre VX5/20 amp, and VAC Renaissance V preamp for a Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module.  Cleaned up the rack and sold a lot of interconnects and power cables.  Still use a DSA Phono2  for my two tonearms ... 
Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable
I have a friend that recently picked up the Harmony with an Acoustic Signature signature tonearm.  This is a beautiful table.  I am very familiar with your Origin Live tonearm as I use an Enterprise 4 and Illustrious 3c on my OL Sovereign TT.  The... 
SME 309 or SME 3009r?
The 3009r is well respected compared to many of the 3009 versions that followed.  The larger version (3012r) is employed on some of the top TT setups in the world.  You may want to explore this on the What’s Best forum.   
All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?!
Thank you for the new insight audio_nirvana. Look forward to additional updates as they settle in over time.  Nice system.   
Complimentary 2nd Cartridge/Tonearm for Dr. Feickert Blackbird
Consider a Miyajima.  It would provide an excellent experience that would be a nice contrast to the Hyperion.  I currently have a Madake that is very smooth, detailed, and some could consider slightly on the warm side.  The Miyajima line tends to ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D getting some love
Really enjoyed my time in this room at the Florida Audio Expo.  Not familiar with the Goldnote Speakers presentation but the room was extremely enjoyable with a very balanced sound that I visited multiple times over my days at the show.  Congratul... 
Tone Arm Balancing
You correctly did the original setup, but a few ideas to consider today. You can acquire a digital scale for very low price and get a better outcome as the balance and trust the counterweight “dial in” has been shown to have a lot of variation. Al... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
I listened to the new Atma sphere Class D mono blocks at the Tampa Audio Show this past weekend. I was not familiar with the Gold Note speakers but the system had an excellent sound with a lot of depth in the lower midrange and no harshness in the...
