Comparing Chord Qutest Dac with the Built in Dac in Lumin T3 Streamer
Such a turn off.....    just to say former Lumin dealer is a bottom feeder type of move.  Is Lumin bad?   No.... I find posts like these akin to free advertising .   No place for that here , is there ? There are a number of other dealers who cont... 
Omega Speaker Set up questions
I recently got a pair of Super Alnico monitors and they took a long time to break in.  I usually find it hard to believe a speaker needs a long break in….   I also have a REL r305 and is set around 60hz.     After some trial and error with speake... 
Tube Depot's "NOS vacuum tube sale"
There isn’t an infinite supply.   I got several rectifiers from them.  All 6 looked like they were pulls.  Absolutely no doubt they were at one time in service.  All looked poor   Several had a band of oxidation around the pins where the tube sock... 
Sota Sapphire and Isolation?
Their support is excellent too...   Donna and Christan are great to deal with.    
Sota Sapphire and Isolation?
I have a non suspended SOTA and it seems immune to footfalls and rumble….   The Sapphire should be well isolated from subsonic stuff.   Enjoy  
Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
Yes, the Condor motor is plenty strong...  he was just putting too much pressure.  A lot of tables will slow down....  I hope anyone interested in Sota dismisses that. My Escape is a great table and I probably would go up the line rather than to ... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
I love my N200... it has only had one issue and they took care of it remotely .  It sounds great and is built like a tank.   I got a deal I couldn't pass up, I was looking at streamers half the price..   I leveraged a trade on a preamp I was tryi... 
The Music Room
I’ve dealt with TMR on 3 occasions and they were great to deal with.   One was a trade towards a sale , a killer close out on a great integrated amp and an accessory.  All great transactions   
Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
That SOTA was one of the few things I have bought sight unseen and was surprised at really how good it was.   I did a little homework, demoed a few locally but I thought the SOTA was the best bang for the buck.    I don’t buy things based on revie... 
Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
The table in question is the follow up to the Escape.   It's basically an Escape with a nice wood cabinet instead of a resin.   Too bad they didn't elaborate on its performance because if it is anything like my Escape / Origin Live Silver , it sho... 
Lab12 DAC1 Reference Problem
I used the Lab 12 with a Vault 2i and it's volume control.   If the PC can attenuate the digital out then it is possible.        
New York Audio Show 2024
I like the sound of this.   My last show I attended was in 2007.  I was there as a vendor and it was insane.    I also attended shows there in my current trade and it is a horror show....   glad it will be outside Manhattan...   don't get me wron... 
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
I admire the beauty and tech of those amazing tables but I like the simplicity of my modest and honestly plain Jane Sota Escape.     I liked the price too,  it's a table many can afford....  
Digital newbie
I had to laugh.. when I was looking for a link I saw AARP's guide to streaming !!!  It's getting more and more popular with us seniors... Last year I got my Dad, 79 into streaming.    He streams about 4 to 6 hours a day now.   He's always playing...
