| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! As clockwork, the newest Dragon now has about 125 hours on it and it is starting to open up and excel Word! You’re plugging into PowerPoint too I suppose. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 No @jperry - I had to draw the financial limit at the used model. | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question I'm sure the observations and possibly the banter were a nice distraction from the HiFi Interest. If you ever need a High Quality Aesthetic Paint Coating applied to a item that is owned, I am sure the Hot Rod owner can direct you. Always good t... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna …Those other posts are full of assumptions respectfully I would submit that determining the SPL and maximum power the OP is using currently, would be germane as to whether more power is needed. Like the OP, I too have a Dialogue Premium HP. It... | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question It’s ANZAC day in the antipodes, but I swung by the local aluminium place today. The sign said closed, but the shed door was open. 😃 The fellow was working on his “hot rod”, and I got an off cut of 10mm thick alloy. I can get that shaped to fit i... | |

To accommodate the Dohmann, I would need two MC inputs I just got an older VPS. It has 2x MC inputs, but I jumpered on... | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question Dear @holmz : No, it's not contrary what is happening is that you and me are at different step in the ladder way to enjoy MUSIC. Your different threads/posts tells that with analog you are trying to go out of the " baby carry " when I'm alrea... | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question Yeah @pindac I probably made my last tome arm board in the ~85-88 timeframe. I don’t know if I was advised to use aluminium, or just lucky, but it is likely a plate of 6061 or 7075. My feeling is that it probably was an improvement over the MDF t... | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question Dear @mijostyn : " I do compare digital to analog versions of various recordings by synchronizing the record to the digital then just switch back and forth by remote. " I was sort of talking about the idea of objective comparison, so they ... | |
