Sheffield/XLO Test & Burn-in CD. Directions?
Hello, it's not really too complicated. I've had the XLO Test CD for 15 years. Let the demag tracks play through once each at average volume. Set track 9, the break-in track, on REPEAT and play *continuously* at average volume for at least three d...

Looking to Upgrade my CDP
Based on my experienced with a modded Oppo 103 in a tube Headphone Amp based system I recommend looking into a modded Oppo 103 or modded Oppo 105. Mods include master clock.

WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

I'm not sure I would say that a $105,000 turntable, and a gorgeous one it is, is Keeping it Real. Any more than a $15,000 Koetsu Platinum Coralstone Mono Cartridge, as beautiful and sumptuous sounding as it undoubtedly is, is Keeping it Real. 
Machina Dynamica
