| Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs I expect it will sound the same as all DAC's - transparent to the source and an inaudible noise floor. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Different strokes for different folks! | |
| Help! Vinyl Pressing Defects? Did the retailers give you the option of returns? If yes, I would do that. If no, then you are stuck with them. | |
| Genesis Advanced Technologies' New Speakers and Statement Phono Cart. at CAF 2023! $8K and $13.5K speakers are far from affordable by the middle class. I see 90% profit in that $18K moving coil cartridge. | |
| Phono Stage, Tonearm, Cartridge Question - Which is the most important? The cartridge, tone arm and phono stage in that order. | |
| The History of Recorded Music: The Re-emergence of the vinyl Record "...turn of the 19th century ..." LOL! Thomas Edison invented the gramophone in 1877. So you are off by 77 years! | |
| A tale of two sides Transistor gear can run 24/7 unless it is a hot-as-an-oven class A amp! Those should be turned off when not in use. | |

| Have you asked yourself this question? A new Pioneer PLX. 1000 TT ($700), Denon 103R ($340) and a Schiit Mani 2 phono stage ($160) is a reasonably affordable LP playback system not at all embarrassed by streaming. The idea that one must spend thousands more to equal streaming is ridicu... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Well done LP playback is a joy and LP's can be passed on to future generations. They have a provenance that streaming lacks. The streaming user has no way of knowing what generation was used, how the mastering was done. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @mijostyn : That upgraded Linn Sondek can hardly be called "lack luster"! | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute The sub should only make its presence known occasionally because most music, except for EDM, doesn't go much below 40 hz. | |
| Leben CS 600 ( Dumper tube ) Tube rolling @atmasphere +1 Those old TV damper tubes make good robust rectifiers! They lack slow warmup though! Tube circuits should have the heater voltages applied first and allowed to warm up before being slammed with high B+ voltages. | |
| SR Master Fuse on preamp Keep drinking more of that SR KoolAde! | |
| PayPal imposed draconian security blocks AFTER I sold my unit I agree! I no longer use PayPal because when I got a new phone and number in March they wouldn't let me access my account without draconian proof of who I am! Required was a screenshot of my State Photo ID card - which was then 7 years old and a s... |
