Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
I will look into the Segue ISO. Looks interesting. My TT is 55 lbs. so the medium platform would cost $549. 
what is the best way to clean a rubber TT record mat.
I didn't have any mild soap so I just used warm water and patted the mat down. Looks a lot cleaner. Thanks. I was curious how much the Luxman mat was and WoW! the 5mm x 29cm rubber TT mat costs $345 at Acoustic Sounds. A lot more than that felt ma... 
Chord Qutest - would you buy it again?
If you go to RME ADI2 DAC walk through RME has made a 5 part step by step video on how to operate their DAC. Much easier than going through the book. Audio Science Review has a pretty active RME thread. Good place to ask questions. 
Chord Qutest - would you buy it again?
I came close to buying it but my dealer also sells the RME ADI2 DAC. Saved $800 and got a much better feature set in the process. Also gives you a choice of headphones over ear or IEM. 
Primaluna EVO 100 Tube DAC has anyone heard it??
I find one of the selling points strange. Primaluna claims their DAC weigh's 29 lbs. compared to most DAC's that weigh less than 10 lbs. IMHO I don't think you can correlate quality w/weight in a DAC. My RME ADI-2 DAC weighs in about 2-3 lbs. Does... 
Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel)
Not sure if it's still available but my dealer has a Carver Sunfire Cinema for $899. 
Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A
Went to my dealer and he lent me a Clearaudio Quadro Clamp (low version) for my Luxman TT. Don’t know why it’s called a clamp as it just drops on the spindle, no tightening. However it worked out great. Better bass and the overall performance was ... 
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
I purchased two items. An RME-ADI2 DAC. Picked over the Chord Qutest saved $800. Also my big purchase the Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. 
Used Amp Under $1000
Odyssey Khartago $995 new.  
Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A
So would a clamp give me more of improvement over a weigh being it can flatten the record. Does the Stillpoint do this?? 
Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A
I checked out some record clamp's and the J.A Michele seems pretty impressive. Also comes w/a washer. $59.99. Any good?? 
Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase
Yes. To big for my room. If they weren't you'd be out of luck. Looks like a steal of a deal. I bet it would match up w/the Yamaha AS-1100 or 2100. Give it a shot. I've been dealing w/John for over 20 years. I recently purchased the Luxman PD-171A TT. 
Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase
Pcc67 I’m pretty sure you heard those speakers at Audio Video Therapy. There are a number of Intergrateds which you can hook them up to. John carries Parasound, Yamaha, Plinius, Luxman, Rotel, Marantz, Anthem and Naim. The folks are always glad to... 
New Mini Electronics coming from Luxman next month
My vote would be for Mini Me. Luxman tube gear is very good but the solid state gets the most press. I have the CL38U SE and it is a fantastic preamp. Art Dudley compared it favorably to his Shindo. Both the preamp and the matching MQ-88 amp both ... 
New Mini Electronics coming from Luxman next month
I'm sure my dealer is going to carry it. He has the whole Luxman line. He currently has the new PD-151 TT. Typical excellent Luxman fit and finish. Should be very competitive in the 3K-4K category. From what I remember Luxman is now totally built ...
