@mahler123 Initially, given that the BOT power light was flickering , I suspected the power supply might be defective. I wanted to try a different chord to test.   Bryston is unable to supply me with one .  Can find one on the internet with the n... 
Major EXOGAL Comet/Ion problems
@damianhl Thats purdy cool stuff.   I have 2 Wadia 321's  Do the 321's use the Digimaster software?  Can you go a little more into detail about the Calculus? I might be interested in seeking out the Comet on the used market given what you have d...

Radio Paradise Playlist

Go to the youtubes and watch his performance of NADIA with Wilkenfeld and Colaiuta.  He does most of the song with the tremolo active & cupped in his hand.  Great recording as well with every instrument coming through. Tight, beautiful.  Perfe... 
Want to add vinyl to my system.
I can only but agree with mijostyn. I am a record collector from the 70s, have reduced my collection to around 1200 or so now. I would not bother with vinyl now if strarting from scratch. I had a superb vinyl setup, kuzma XLDC, 4pt, Atlas, Ypsi...
