Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?
I found a used DMS500 at Cary.com for under 2k, first time I've spent  on digital in a long while, my music room has had just  a TT for the last 5 years. I'm hoping as a Roon endpoint it will be a tidy digital music solution. I'll post back after ... 
Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3
Just ordered the pulley upgrade for my Innovation Compact Wood.  Any tips on setup? 
Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience?
I also had the pump failure upgrade scam.  I love my new pro machine, but very costly.  Nothing better for cleaning/convenience, but can only recommend with caveat regarding reliability, only time will tell.Jeff 
Strange Loud Popping Sounds
Any updates? 
Strange Loud Popping Sounds
I couldn't tell you for sure but the signal path for digital should be the same after the preamp input jacks, so i would bet on the phonopre.  The other reason I think this is a discharge at the phonopre level would be amplified extensively especi...

Record Revirginizer
I love it, expensive but almost alway gives you a 1/2 grade or more.  I use it on all my best pressings that have any noise at all.    
New VPI 3D Arm
I'm running a Kleos SL on A Classic 3 with 3d arm. It is a magical combination. 
Rack Recommendations
I understand your skepticism, but vibration control is the real deal. You have laid out a lot of cash on your components and would be well rewarded by a scientifically designed stand. I did extensive research and came to SRA Scuttle rack. It is ve... 
Hot Stamper - myth or reality?
I personally believe there are large differences between pressings. This includes record plants of first issues ie monarch vs presswell Sticky Fingers. This is why it is so fun collecting records. I have picked up some "hot stampers" from the barg... 
New VPI 3D Arm
How come no updates on this thread? Just put one on last night, quite impressive. 
Help with a VPI 3D Tonearm Exchange
will a classic 3 arm fit on the 3d pivot point, or do I need to change pivot points every time I swap cartridges(arm tubes)? 
VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec?
Jcoehler,what tubes are you using in your Chinook? I'm using Amperex 7308's and they are way better than the stock.
