I have the stock platter and felt mat as well.I'm thinking about starting with 1.5g, 2mm (.5 degree), an... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? I'd like to throw out the possibility of the older Museatex DACs, namely the Bidat and the Bitstream (if you can find them). I have really fallen in love with my Bitstream and it really has the charm of vinyl woven into its sound... I believe this... | |
