| Help! Monolith turntable platter removal Thanks everyone. I used the methods described above and it worked. | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer I just got a used Lumin U1 mini with LPS and a Pontus II 12h edition. According to Vinshine Audio, you don’t necessarily need a DDC if you have a high-end streamer. A DDC is best for cleaning up noisy computer USB signals. I’m very happy with my s... | |
| Female vocalist recommendations For a more modern sound, try both Lizzy McApline and Freya Ridings. Lizzy is a singer/songwriter vibe and Freya simply has an amazing voice. | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide That is why I didn't buy the $38,000 speakers. I went with the Olympica Nova V instead. And I'm not driving them wholly from the Denon. The Denon is running in preamp mode. The signal is going to a Rotel 5x200w amp. My next update will be amplifi... | |

| Sonus faber choices - help me decide It's definitely going to be a while before they arrive. At minimum 6 weeks. Point taken on the dealer trying to sell me on a product he carriers. However, his argument was that Sf has made enormous strides since the Futura line was available, and... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Final update. I just talked to my local dealer. He has been selling Sf for years, and cautioned me against buying something as old as the Futuras. He actually gave me a deal. He is going to sell me the Nova V speakers at the same price I was going... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide I cross over the subs in the Denon @ 40Hz. The CDMs go down to ~38, so I thought 40Hz would be a good choice. I have experimented with higher crossovers, but don't have a real preference. At one point I ran Audyssey and told it that I only had two... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide One more question. Assuming I stay in the Nova line, my decision to go with the Nova II was largely because I have subs that will handle the last octave. I didn't think paying $5000 more for a a ~5Hz difference was worth the money required to step... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Thanks for the feedback. I share your concerns about the electronics. My plan was to eventually upgrade them via the secondary market, but that will take a while. I had not thought about the spare parts. I have never had a speaker break on me, so... | |

| DACMagic 200M + Node 2i Thank you so much. That solved the stutter problem. Follow up question. Is there any technical or audible difference between using the Node in MQA External DAC mode vs not? I am not 100% sure whether one mode is causing or preventing a full unfold... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp I have a similar situation with an older Rotel processor and Denon receiver. I was going to try this method but then thought about the sub. I want to listen to 2.1 but also have the sub available to the Denon for movies. Any suggestions? |
