| My experience after lost of 20k$ My experience with computer audio is very different to yours. I have a $20k analog/digital system and the results via TT and computer audio are very good IMHO. I am extremely happy with this system and have no plans to upgrade, even though the spe... | |
| What do people place on their platter for dust protection I use a Michell Engineering GyroDec (full plinth version, not the SE) and always keep the lid closed when not in use or playing an LP. I have no problems with dust accumulation on the platter. I just dust the lid about once a month. | |
| Do Macs Play FLAC? I can play FLAC files on my MacBook Air. Files are played via Audirvana Plus through the USB port into a McIntosh C50 for D/A conversion. Works perfectly for me, very happy with the results. See my previous post on this subject. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Agree, the text list was much easier to read. Can we have the old format back, please! | |
| CDs Vs LPs Sold my TT and vinyl record collection 34 years ago and went full into CDs. Very happy at the time, then in 2017 I decided it was time to get back into vinyl (Michell GyroDec, SME IV, Clearaudio Maestro Ebony V2, McIntosh C50, McIntosh MC275 mk VI... | |

| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better I have a Core Audio plyKraft 3L rack that holds my TT (Michell GyroDec/SME IV, Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony). Works perfectly for me, the turntable is acoustically completely isolated. You can jump up and down (some call it dancing) right next to t... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? Piano for me. I have heard very expensive $0.5 million systems sound perfect, see: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/2c-hifi-epiphany-worlds-best-system. Until you play a grand piano. No speaker IMHO will reproduce grand piano lifelike. Some ... | |
| 2018 Axpona Eikon System I agree with lalitk, the Avantgarde Trio XD plus Basshorn system sounded and looked stunning. Probably the best sound at the show? $150k or thereabouts just for the speakers! To say nothing of the incredible size of this system, wish I had a liste... | |
| UK to US step up/down voltage converter This is a good site for step up/down transformers:http://www.eastwestusastore.com/product-voltage+transformers-543-577.htmlSee my previous post on this subject. You need to make sure the DAC is not restricted to 50Hz only, don't think it is. | |
| SME Tonearms of Canada - Alfred and Company that sell new and refurbish SME Purchased an SME IV from them last year. A friend of mine had his SME 3009 S2 refurbished there. In both cases everything went smoothly, Alfred is a nice guy to deal with; highly recommended. | |
| Michell Engineering TT users; Orbe or Gyro why Excellent over all of the rest? I have an SME IV on my Michell GyroDec, works perfectly for me. |
