PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?

PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?

@trytone I guess living out in the middle of the Pacific makes these things bit more stressful when there is no one around to chat with or get help from. SME and their importers are not as helpful as I would have hoped for.I have done some searchi...

Many thanks mate.I felt that i had a handle on the problem but wanted confirmation after the guy I spoke to sent my head spinning.Yes...I would never use a blank to set it up but wanted to see if in fact the anti skate was doing anything at all.So...
