| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Thank you very much for holding this demonstration and for your reporting of it. It's going to be one of the more popular readings on this site.I would add my voice to that of toneranger58 and inquire about the tracks.My second question is about ... | |
| VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms I am partial to the single bearing arm. It allows, as does none other, for an effectively friction-less bearing. When I moved to a 3D arm wand, I discovered that I HAD to change the lower bearing as the old one (with the cup) did not work with t... | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th @prighelloAnything you can tell us about the event? | |
| Will adding an external DAC to my setup improve SQ significantly? @gadiosWill the results of the Arizona DAC shootout be published on-line? | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? I had the same issue with my 105. Strongly suggest you NOT modify it, but find the right DAC. It is not hard to outperform the DAC in the 105. I use an LKS that beats the 105 by a mile, but it’s not for everyone. If you decide to sell a modded 105... | |
| CD"S As you might suppose I am in agreement generally with audiotroy. Except that you don't have to spend big bucks to rip the disks. I rip disks (with metadata) easily and maintain my library using JRiver. Also, I have discovered that a laptop can ... | |
| CD"S We're going a bit far afield. The OP asked for advice between going to a new CD disk player, perhaps the Yamaha, or to hard disk. | |

| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings Arthur Salvatore has been mentioned. Anyone with enough interest to have read this far should look here for more than you may have wanted to know about this subject: http://www.high-endaudio.com/softw.html#Decca | |
| CD"S "I know this question is a little hard to answer."No, it's very easy. There's nothing about a silver disk that adds to the SQ of the files on it, In fact, playing the disk detracts from SQ. Rip the CDs and the SACDs. There are programs that do... | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp Can't comment on performance though I have and treasure Sim Moon amp and preamp. But getting an all-in-one component locks you out of future developments in the digital world that is very fast moving. I would always consider separate DAC, stream... | |

| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable A long time ago when I began to notice speed fluctuations on my VPI TT I cured it with a clean-out and lubrication of the bearing and a lubrication of the motor. So that might be an issue,But phoenixengr, who apparently now licenses his invention... | |
| Playing SACDs " Ripping the DSD portion of SACDs seems complicated" It is not!Once set up you simply put each disk into the player, one after another, click on a program once, and they download to your computer. Thousands of audiophiles have done it. The design... |
