| Help with TT ideas for my first TT I've had a new model Rega Planar 2 and eventually upgraded the arm to the RB330 (used in the planar 3 and 6). My dad has a new model Planar 6 and I currently have a current gen Planar 8. The current model planar 3 seems to be the sweet spot on pri... | |
| 2.1 Channel System Build - mostly vinyl Check out the HSU ULS-15 mk2. Its an 18" cube thats flat down to 20hz. With its small size and labor day sale price it leaves you more money for a cartridge upgrade.http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/uls-15mk2.html | |

| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick If you can stretch your budget a bit there are a used pair of Revel F228be towers in mahogany on Audiogon currently for $5900. Retail at $10k, beryllium tweeters, redesigned crossovers and a bump in efficiency to 90db. Worth taking a look. | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick I have the F208’s and they are amazing speakers. I couldn’t be happier. I have them paired with an SVS sb4000 sub and use dirac live for bass management/integration and the combination sounds amazing. The F208’s also have a tweeter adjustment swit... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Very nice work. One of the better pieces using steel pipe and fittings I have seen. As a union plumber though, I have to advise that those are couplings, not bushings. Again, very nice work all the way around. | |
| Interconnect cable recommendations for Node 2i and DAC @Larry5729,That Project DAC is not exactly a desirable piece of kit in my opinion. I can certainty see why you thought the DAC in the Bluesound sounded better. At $330 for the project it is entry level at best and the internal DAC in the Bluesound... | |

If you find a DAC you like that has it, great, but I wouldn't make it a necessity. I have a Node 2i and a Benchmark DAC 2 HGC. Prior to the Benchmark I really thought MQA was impressi... | |

| Martin Logan Motion 60XTi vs Bowers and Wilkins 702 s2 speakers I haven't heard either speaker listed but... my dad has a previous generation pair of Martin Logan Motion 60xt speakers and they sound fantastic with an AV pre and external amp. From what I have read about the B&W 702's they can be picky about... | |
| System- so many questions With the Bluesound Node 2i you are absolutley correct, you need to add an external DAC. I have a Node 2i paired with a Benchmark DAC 2 HGC and my dad has a Node 2i paired with a Mytek Liberty. Both are great options in my opinion and are often de... | |
| I have only come here seeking knowledge... Hello and welcome to the Gon. Silly question, but do you have a ground wire between your turntable and phono stage? If so have you checked the connections since the problem started? |
