I don't believe this has anything to do tape bleed through explanation when applied to vinyl. Tape bleed-through usually causes a fixed delay 1.8 seconds for a 7.5 ips tape not the very short delay like the fractions of a second heard on vinyl. Th... 
Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy
I Think many so called "audiophile" integrated and standalone phono stages have flattered to decieve and done a disservice to what can still be achieved in the vinyl playback world. One such design I can vouch for, is to be found within the truly...

@steve59  I totally get your rationale Steve. Ultimately the only person who needs to be happy with your HiFi is you. The sound has to be what you want to hear. I was seduced by the Lumin X1 having listened to a number of combinations, it was the...

@audphile1  Thanks for the tip bud, I will take a Roon trial soon. At the moment, I'm focussed on bringing a Fibre internet connection into my listening room and getting a better understanding if what I'm hearing from Tidal connect. This will giv...

Finally! I Made An Informed Choice
Thanks I am now that I have made the purchase. I got bashed about a bit by some on the forum but that’s ok as I learned a great deal even after jumping in two footed! I'm not looking forward to getting the right conection into my listening room i...
