| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! @itsjustme ”disambiguate”… Good one! I don’t think you can separate bad implementations and formats. I think great designs / materials typically trumps the format. There are so many variables you just can’t point unambiguously point to a ... | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. @mijostyn Thank you. Yeah, we are in the same place… same observations. I tried one of those sweep arms decades ago… did no good what so ever. Today I just received a new 45rpm copy of Joe Jackson’s Night and Day. A fantastic recording… and ... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Interesting to see this thread come live again. As it was the thread that made me think a Silent Running Audio Ohio class isolation platform would be a good decision for my contemporary Linn LP12. I ordered one about 6 or 8 months ago. It was an ... | |
| What difference do power cables make? I have been fascinated for a while with the differences between folks that try to contribute to the forum by saying, I tried this and that and this is what I found… maybe this can be helpful to you. Versus… stuff like @1971gto455ho above who adds... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? OP, 👍👍👍😊😊. Cool. Amazing what good speaker cables can do. | |
| Aurender N100 or X100? I own two Aurender streamers (W20SE and N100). While I copied my library onto them… I haven’t used those files or those on my network for two years… Qobuz has almost every one of them and frequently in higher resolution. I cannot recommend Aur... | |

| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. @pratorious +1 I am the same way. I can get too excited to hear a new album… but a lot of ticks… and it comes off together a cleaning. | |
| Considering moving on from B&W... Magico are incredibly fast and accurate speakers… does not at all sound like the right direction for you. Magico require extremely good and musical input or you get analytical… and the shortcomings of your electronics reproduced with great accurac... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? OP, Congratulations. speaker cables because of their length and cost are always intimidating. I got a set of very old Transparent cables… and the improvement convinced me to get new ones… $5K… well worth it in retrospect. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I found that my interests expanded with exposure… but some stuff just does not appeal to me. I started with rock in the 60’s and 70’s… then jazz, classical, blues, electronic, world… There is usually a gateway album… one that bridges the stuff... | |
| Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done Good one. That sounds like something I would do. I always try to get stuff done quickly… especially when I was young, I would always get going too quick. Then I was put in charge of software development… wow… that stopped me dead in my tracks and ... | |
| New Pressing Plant in MN Cool. | |
| What difference do power cables make? OP, Typically you would not plug an amp or subwoofer into a power conditioner or distributor. They typically will restrict the dynamics. A high end power cord for a subwoofer is unlikely to make a noticeable difference. For an amp there are two ... | |
| How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp? You don’t happen to have the SUT plugged into a different electrical outlet? |
