wanting to take a digital step
Guys, Thanks so much again for all the info it is a lot to digest, I have been really digging into this and starting to make sense of it. I really am a digital and technology doofus.  On a fun note I just figured how to airplay send videos from p... 
wanting to take a digital step
Another question about the streamer option, will I be able to stream music stored on my laptop or just from my phone or iPad?    
wanting to take a digital step
good morning audiogoners, I want to thank you all for your recommendations.  I will be researching the blue sound streamer.  Those Schitt dac's look appealing to get started.  I am excited to hear some music that I don't know about that I will lov... 
Best music in 2022
If you like fusion this one came out recently. Just put it on this morning and I think it’ll be one I spend some time with. Treat for the ears. Recording quality is very good    High Pulp-Pursuit of Ends http://www.anti.com/releases/pursuit-en... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Donald Fagen - Sunken Condos I haven’t put this on in awhile, but as I was looking for a Sunday afternoon listen it caught my eye. Such a much better listen with loads of little details and layers than I remember. I had to laugh with the clear vi... 
Upgrade path question with $2k to spend
Hey Icegeek, I will bet your rig sounds good. It reminds me of a rig I put together. Many have suggested changing out your Yamaha. I’ll also had a multi thousand dollar Yamaha processor with direct mode and all the other bells and whistles. I upgr...

Andy Sheppard Quartet-Surrounded by Sea. ECM. Really lovely record that moves very gently with lots of space and air typical of ECM label stuff. But it does picks up a bit energetically here and there. The title is indicative of how this record f... 
MM phono preamp upgrade for $1000?
I remember those JLTI’s from a few years back. I was really interested in them but never got a chance to try one. I’m really interested to hear your feedback if you get it. I’ve heard the Musical Surroundings stages numerous times and like them qu... 
Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ?
I tried retipping a Grado Reference Reference 1 and it was not even close to what it sounded like new.  I probably will not ever try it again and only buy carts I can afford to replace as a result.  I have an AirTight PC-7 with a broken off stylus... 
whats the best bob marley LP
Haven't heard them all, but so far Talkin' Blues is really good sounding and the music is equally as good of course. 
Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.
I don't get Coltrane completely.  I don't really get into A Love Supreme and I've tried.  I do like Bags and Trane, Jazz, Plays the Blues and the record he did with Hartman, another with Burrell.  He get's out there  sprinkling in some of the othe...

Well, the cart has been in the system now for a couple a days.  It took its sweet time getting here from Japan.  But definitely worth it.  Given its not insignificant price I was having some serious anxiety about potential buyers remorse.  I reall... 
Whizzer cone removal
I found that removing the whizzer had zero effect. Already employed the super tweeter when I did it. Adding the s tweeter added some more air and detail but it wasn’t a night and day difference. The driver in these was not what Decware uses now or...

@mijostyn thank you. I still haven’t received the cart. Lots of air and detail sounds good to me. Should be a good match to my sys. In theory anyway. Channel balance within .5db is really appealing as well as I’m sensitive to channel imbalances. S...
