| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Get a Backert Labs and be done. | |
| VPI upgrade? I have a used Prime Signature in Rosewood with JMW 3-D printed uni-pivot arm. J.R. Bosclair of Wally Tools fame set it up with the second pivot so it was done right. It has also been calibrated by him for the Soundsmith Paua but the settings shoul... | |
| Tonearm Parallel? I own a Sound-Smith Paua II on a VPI Prime Signature with JMW Uni-Pivot. Thought I had the cart and arm zeroed in but just had the opportunity to have J.R. from WAM Eng. install the dual pivot and correctly set up the cart. All I can say is WOW. Y... | |
| This is good Schiit... I run my Bluesound with a Denafrips Ares II and am VERY satisfied. Much improved over the Bluesound DAC. | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated mbmi +1 | |
| Big Ears I did indeed hear Kronos, Caroline Shaw and So Percussion and was totally blown away by each of them. All I can say is make sure you get tickets for next years event. I guarantee you will be in awe with the performances. I must say that I was not ... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? I have a Sound-Smith Paua II mounted on a VPI JMW Memorial uni-pivot arm ( Prime Signature) and love it. The Paua is in your price range. Don't know why no one has mentioned it. And what's so bad about the uni-pivot arm? It may appear "unstable" b... | |

| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I can't comment on the speaker podiums but I recently purchased their Isolation Platform for my VPI Prime Signature and it made a significant difference. I mean major! Highly recommended. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Liz Story's debut LP Solid Colors from 1983. To quote the liner notes: This recording was made direct to two-track using a Studer A80 VU MKIII half-inch recorder at 30 inches per second through a Harrison board. No noise reduction, limiting or com... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? I own a Paua II and love it. Absolutely no complaints. I also think that Peter L. has his head on straight regarding cartridge design and calibration. That meant a lot to me. Being a low compliance cartridge, however, you will realize a significan... | |
| If you hopped into your time machine and brought back audio gear- what would it be? I'd love to hear my old IMF Studio IIIA's again. Or my JBL Lancer 101's. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Pohjola's Urban TangoThe 1st two Velvet Underground Albums. Saw them live. Twice. Certainly not audiophile recordings but the music...brilliant. Yeah, I'm old but we had the best music. That should start some con... |
