It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system?
As a follow-up to my previous post, I put that system together between 1982 and 1985. Kept it until 2010. Replaced the Vandys with Sound Dynamics T3i in 1995. Still have the turntable with MMT arm.

Use of footers on maple platforms
Thanks Levy, I have not tried cones and may just leave things as is. As Mapman stated, 'bigger fish".

Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS
Want to thank Bo and Zd as I bought my first pair of Columbia. Looking for another. 
Considering Bryston BDA-1 for non-USB use
Dhl, thanks for the response. I purchased a BDA-1 and very much like it. I also appreciate equipment designed with a competent power supply and analog output stage (within budget) hence my interest in the BDA-1. Though the BDA-2 has a different DA...

Andy, great thread. Don't intend to hijack, however feel another thread on this would just confuse.Stuart, What was the cost of your project? I have a ST-70 that has been stored since the 60s. In great shape but needs new capacitors etc due to age...

DAC Recommendation around 2.5K
I have the DL3 unmoded, just purchased a Bryston BDA-1. I like the sound of the DL, the Bryston is an improvement. THE BDA-1 doe not have the USB capability that you are looking for, however the newer BDA-2 does, I believe. I prefer to use a separ... 
Prima Luna or sonic frontiers or audible illusions
I had a 3a and a Jolida Fusion. Rotated them in my system for a couple months. I sold the 3a. This was primarily due to not using the phono stage and thought it a waste to run the phono tubes. It sounded great however. The Jolida is a fine pre for...
