@ghdprentice The fact that I have a free standing DAC negates any possibility that I’ll buy an Aurender 200.

@kennyc Agreed and if I'm correct, Monophonic popularity has greatly increased over the past ten or more years. I just wish boutique labels like Impex, Speakers Corner and Analogue Productions would take on more mono classical recordings. Mono Jaz...

@lewm Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier, from then on everything changed. As far as Jazz is strictly concerned, augmenting and diminishing chord patterns created a departure from traditional harmonic structures and the resurrection of modal harmony tha...

@ghdprentice I appreciate your input but don't believe the Aurender 200 to be a better sounding streamer than what I have. I'm not sure why you believe the Bryston to be an inferior product. I looked into this many years ago and spoke to my local ...

@cleeds Didn't know that thank you. @ghdprentice I have the wall wart for the modem and the router LPS cable plugged into a passive line conditioner but it's close to the stereo. I'll try running those to a bare receptacle on the other side of th...

I've considered getting the Hana SL Mono MK II cartridge because both of my local dealers sell Hana and have recommended it. Just yesterday I sent them an email asking about their Shibata stylus. But now I'm just thinking about getting the Audiomo...
