| Smoothest and best sounding turntable/cartridge combo up to $1600?? What is "smooth sounding"? What would be another adjective for another sound, but also desirable? I have a Lyra Delos, is it smooth? Please bear with me, just trying to better understand the lingo! | |
| Getting Personal Property Insurance for your rig. I have spoken to my insurance agent who told me my particular policy does not cover systems of this nature, but some policies do not have these limitations on categories of personal property. For now, my system is more or less not covered, the ca... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! My mother in law has Krell amps and Wilson speakers! You should have seen the look on my face when I visited her house for the first time. I knew we would get along well (and we do)! | |
| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? Thank you everyone! This is all valuable insight. I have not been a very detail oriented record cleaner. Time to buckle down! Thanks again. | |
| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? Whart, I am impressed by your attention to detail! How do you go about cleaning the vacuum lips in a relatively easy but effective manner? | |
| BAT VK 250 vs Pass XA30.5 for Wilson Sophia 2 Ah, I see. I asked as I have the same speakers, and a 100 watt tube amp. I was curious if there was something I may be missing. Perhaps there is, if I were to compare to a very powerful amplifier, but so far, a month in with my Sophia 2's, I am... | |
| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? bdp24, good point about the dust falling on records in the dish rack, I had thought about that as well. Perhaps I will modify my method in using the dish rack, and once it is full with 13 records, sleeve the first 6, and continue cleaning. That ... | |
| BAT VK 250 vs Pass XA30.5 for Wilson Sophia 2 What are the shortcomings of the rogue tube amp with the Sophia's that are making you look at SS? | |
| help choosing cable pc to dac. Was the v link and lengthy digital RCA cable out of budget? Unless I missed something, you could go USB out, translate into SPDIF, and into the coax input on your DAC. Couple hundred bucks, problem solved! | |
| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? Thanks everyone. To clarify, it doesn't appear that the records are wet after 2 or 3 revolutions of the vacuum cycle. I was just obsessing about the idea that there may be moisture in the grooves that I cannot necessarily see. So, for those of ... | |
| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? Wlutke, that is clever, I'm going to give it a try! So, you leave the vacuum running, and just manually lift the tube off the record? How long do you feel is the proper length of time to have the tube lifted for this procedure? | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Cerrot, I use a Mac with Roon and Tidal, and I don't have to download anything. I just point to a tidal based track, and play... | |
| Stylus cleaner Funny, I just researched this yesterday on these forums and beyond. I needed a solution other than dry brushing, so after the research, which included talking to the people at Music Direct, reading a Michael Fremmer review, and reading some threa... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Bob, Roon is easy to use, even if you have limited software experience. The interface is uncluttered and intuitive, and highly enjoyable I might add. There is an integration between Tidal and Roon so you will use Roon to control your own digital... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Roon and Tidal are a deadly cool combo. I am getting outstanding results on my system. Roon is by far the best audio software I have used from a user experience - nothing comes close. If anyone is using JRiver or iTunes add-ons, take of the sha... |
