@mglik congrats again, that mp-3 is an absolute amazing preamp, I had one with no vcaps no special updates but the mk3.3 iteration, that preamp was incredible, hard to best 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Sure no problem Seems to be a bit of a consensus that people prefer the 6sn7 circuit in the Suprateks.Don't get me wrong, the DHT is very special, best way I can describe it is if you want your sound to sound like a live event go DHT but if you pr... 
Control volume with DAC or Preamp?
The most important thing here is that typically and I personally don't know about the Directstream Dac but most dacs do it, you set the Dac at full volume, you will most likely bypass any DSP stage, DSD to Pcm internal conversions, and possibly ev...

Supratek Cabernet Dual with 300B on one stage and 6SN7 on the other stage, in both cases the OTLs will preserve the nature of the sound in such a transparent way, I’m a neophyte with a short audio experience compared to many of you and professiona...

Others probably won't know right away, as you did, what these amps could deliver. +1

Good for you enjoying the M-60s. I have the MA-1s, excellent amps, if you use a DHT preamp with the M-60s these are so transparent that you will get the DHT lush sound, such sound although amazing is not my cup of tea for every day listening, I ra...

I would like confirmation if your DA 307 also oscillates so little. Not my case, mine oscillates more than the one in the video, go to my link and watch the video https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m6j01m72nt9v5tl/AADVZPzl_uly7MJldNR_nT9la?dl=0

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
feel free to PM me for a Digikey BOM of the appropriate Panasonic substitutions @dgarretson Thank you so much, I will PM you, it is indeed a good idea, my soldering skills are not that good but a friend of mine could do it, and I will pay him so...

Hahaha yeah, analog is a lot of work, I can understand why some avoid it. I have a few carts and I am doing some compliance calculations and such. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Hey Lew, not really, there are 4 screws attaching the motor to the plinth and 1 single washer between the motor and such plinth but the trick to align the motor is to handle the motor from below, you get a better grip and there is some tolerances ...

BTW your custom made racks are very nice, they look solid, stainless steel? or aluminum? 
Denon DA 307 and DA 309
Thank you, I will use the 2 little screws then, thanks for the tip on the DA-401. Remember I am learning that's why I wanted to start with simple tonearms and do the entire setup from the scratch. I am not the one that likes easy things or someone...
