| 10 Inch Tonearms I've always understood a 12 inch tonearm to be better than a 9 inch arm in every way. Hard to believe a tonearm maker would make a ten inch tonearm if there wasn't something that made them desirable. | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms rauliruegas, Thanks for the link but there’s nothing written here about ten inch tonearms which is the sole purpose of my post. | |
| Roon and Monterey sns, Monterey stared their BETA version in June, you'd think they'd figured things out by now. | |
| Roon and Monterey fuzztone, when I do what myself? I don’t know what you’re referring to. | |
| Boutique Label Remasters Apparently a lot of Qobuz and Tidal loyalty here. | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard Gang of Four 'Entertainment!' yes, the entire album. | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? WEBN got bought out in the same way that WMMS did in Cleveland. WEBN was a fairly good station in the 1970’s but it never rose to near the level that WMMS did. Both stations are so compressed anymore, I don’t know how anyone can listen to either. ... | |

There are Everest reissues that were remastered from the original tapes, so they may be worth looking into. I like Folkway's records but they've been difficult for me to find. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Audirvana is worth trying. With free trials, I’d compare it to Roon. Anyway, there are various ways to improve your digital front end in addition to a DAC or a transport/streamer. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I understand the Chord up sampler is a real improvement to the transport and DAC arrangement. I’d do that myself if I had the extra cash flow available.https://www.moon-audio.com/chord-hugo-m-scaler.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImqee88Wv8wIVxwiICR0YhwnWE... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Back in the day, is when I bought my Ayre QB9 and the emphasis was in how to make digital sound analogue. The technology has changed significantly since then. I was lucky in that Ayre has updated that DAC to the present. Maybe close to eight years... |
