A Real Treat For Your Ears - MIXING COLOURS by Roger & Brian Eno
@teo_audioThanks for the recommendation on the channel. Will definitely check that out. Once in a while, music like that is nice to relax to. 
My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
Going to jump in here and recommend the ML Motion 40's.I have those speakers and they have a sweet sound.They just might be the sweet spot for you between the ML 35's (since you mentioned you liked them) and the 60XT's, not to mention you might be... 
High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
Hi All,Glad I found this thread. I bought a MC-0.5 some months ago around the same time that I bought a Isotek Evo 3 Sirius Power Bar.I kinda started using both around the same time so it's hard to say which one had more effect.Have a question reg... 
Recommendation on a basic turntable setup
Since your just curious about TT's at the moment and don't want to make a huge investment and sounds like also do not want to fuss with it too much (for now), I'm going to recommend a Denon DP-300f with a Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge.It did me well f... 
Schiit Loki
Good to see this post.I have been thinking about getting one myself to use for my TT.To give it that little extra juice it needs on certain recordings. 
Advice on Music
Received both albums, Ella & Louis and Temptation.Both sound really good. I need to get more of the oldies.More Ella F, Frank S and all of that good stuff. 
Understanding DAC's
Thanks for your input Jazzman, I guess that does make sense.I hope more quality DSD Albums become available. I recently bought the album, Temptations on DSD and if I had any doubt in the capability of DSD, then this album restored it back. Sounds ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Temptation - Chantal ChamberlandJust received this today.What an excellent record. This LP makes my humble system sound half way decent.  
Any Opinions on the Quad Artera Solus
Hi,Thanks for your input.At this point I am just curious about the Quad System.It does look interesting and I like the looks also.I do have a big selection of CD's and still like to listen to them.How is the DAC on your Quad?If I were interested, ... 
Advice on Music
Ordered the album Ella & Louis on LP, should be a good one I think.Also ordered (this is a modern album) Temptation by Chantal Chamberland. I have this on DSD and it is incredible but I also want to hear it on LP (compare and contrast).If you ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Phil Collins...But Seriously  
Thoughts on choosing an amplifier
Whats wrong with asking for advice even if the OP feels that he/she may not end up with the best match.Perhaps after asking for advice and receiving positive suggestions, the OP may actually end with a good match or matches. It's only after asking... 
Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers
Thanks everyone for their inputs and suggestions.Always looking to learn about how a system can be improved even though we may not all agree on the approach we can still learning something new, at least I do. 
Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers
kphasap,When using the Loki, do you keep the tone controls on your Marantz defeated (off)?It wouldn't be advisible to use The Loki and the tone controls from the Marantz at the same, correct? Thanks 
Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers
Thanks for the inputs and suggestions.Those Anthem and Trinnov units look incredible but unfortunately out of my price range.I am quite happy with my system at the moment but was curious about the tone controls and how others use them, if at all (...
