Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo
Can anybody speak to the difference in SQ between the Bifrost Multibit and the Gungnir Multibit?Besides having balanced outputs, I'm wondering if the Gungnir is vastly superior in sonics; or if the Bifrost Multibit is the best bang for the buck.So... 
Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo
The DAVE is a $13K dac/preamp, so would not bear comparison to the Schiit models.The QuteEx (discontinued), 2Qute, the Hugo and Hugo TT are the comparable models, although at higher price points than Schiit.I would also like to hear from users of ...

Elizabeth Fraser of This Mortal Coil (and Cocteau Twins) ...Song To The Sirenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFWKJ2FUiAQVery different from all other versions.  
Calling all room treatment type specialists...
Not every inch of wallspace needs to be treated. There are such things as negative space and reflective areas in the room.See if there is a workable spot to hang that awesome poster and get it framed.If you physically try to spray-mount the poster...

PS Audio Detect Power Center vs past PS Audio conditioners
I've read good things about the Dectet. Many power conditioners are stated to be non current-limiting, but due to the high current draw of an amplifier, the PC can affect the dynamics of the amp. That's why many members have low-current components... 
Who's absorbing the cost?
@whart Very true about there being few defects in the "golden era" of vinyl records. I only remember problems when they were manufacturing those ultra-thin LPs that could warp, or music would bleed thru grooves. There was also a period of using i... 
Who's absorbing the cost?
That must have been way back, when staff actually possessed the knowledge of what to look for.That's right. These were people who loved and lived vinyl. 
Who's absorbing the cost?
jeff1225My local record store said that their distributor refused to take returns.That's what I've been told by several venders. That's why in today's music business model, the consumer always loses.(Well, the artists also lose, but that's another... 
Who's absorbing the cost?
whart...This is probably an incomplete answer since I was never involved in the distribution side, but in the old days, the major labels ate the cost of defects and returns and probably pushed back against the pressing plants if there were defe... 
Mogami
Does Mogami make a speaker cable? Anyway, Event Horizon makes custom cables and they use Mogami. I bought an interconnect and coax from them...nice people.https://eventhorizon-srv.com/ecommerce/os/catalog/?cPath=21 Signal Cable may be able to help... 
Who's absorbing the cost?
@dweller ,Music Direct told me they considered vinyl records as software. So we went back and forth with emails, but they wouldn’t budge. Now I have a worn out LZ I from the early 70’s and a defective remastered LZ I.I'll bet they were getting too... 
Who's absorbing the cost?
Refunds are only available when it is unopened with factory seals intact.That’s true, but in the past a customer with a defective record was sometimes given a refund depending on the store’s policy. Defective product was returned to the distributo...
