| How good is Aesthetix audio? I owned the Calypso Eclipse preamp and the Atlas Eclipse (including Eclipse casework) stereo amp until recently. I was very happy with them. Great sound. Fully balanced and dual mono so very quiet and detailed with lovely full midrange. The ca... | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet You might consider a site like The Music Room for a first used purchase. It will likely be a little more expensive, but a much more controlled environment for your first purchase. I've sold quite a bit of gear with them and always have a good ex... | |
| Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used Zesto Andros 1.2. Beautiful sounding tube phono stage. I have it feeding a D'agostino Momentum HD and MxV monos. It isn't over matched or outclassed at all. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Harry Chapin "Greatest Stories Live" Is an album full of well sung stories. "A Better Place to Be" is a bit schmaltzy but I have to admit I smile every time I listen to it. | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac If the DAC in question is the Perfectwave Direct Stream DAC, the answer is yes. Both inputs are available on the back of the DAC and selectable from the remote or the touchscreen. | |

| Record Cleaning Machines As an alternate thought, I believe that if you are gentle with the records, follow the directions and proceed carefully, all of the machines do a good job. From the most simple (spin clean, etc.) to the most expensive. What you pay for is how mu... | |
| ROON NUCLEUS+ KEEPS CRASHING I've had a similar problem, though not nearly as frequently as you described. My iPad is unable to connect and I end up rebooting my Nucleus. Looking at the Roon blog and emailing them indicates the issues is likely to do with DNS. Some dynamic... | |

| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k Some thoughts on two I've personally owned.Rogue Cronus Magnum II (not the most current III). My experience, others may have had very different experiences.Pros: Located in America, nice people, you can call them on the phone. Very heavy and po... | |
| BNC and USB from streamer to DAC I suggest you only have one cable connected at a time if you are comparing input types or cables. Since a lot of the potential difference may be some form of noise transmission by the cable, having both connected at the same time wont remove that... | |
| Phono pre amp At the more expensive end of the spectrum I love my Zesto Andros 1.2. There are lots of reviews to find online. It has separate MM and MC inputs so it could accommodate both tables. Easy access to controls and loading on the back, no dip switch... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/Roon Nucleus + vs. Auralic Vega G1 I can't comment on the Auralic you are considering or the Mytek you own, but I have the Directstream DAC/Roon Nucleus combination and am very pleased. I've owned the DSD for more than two years so I have updated the software a couple of times and... | |
| Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary I don't know the specific speakers you are listening to but in the 1990's I owned a pair of Reference 3A speakers. Master Control MMC if I remember correctly. Marvelous speakers, they sat on Sound Anchor stands. I traded a pair of Acoustat Spec... |
