| Next step in Turntable I was in the same predicament. I have a Rega P3 and wanted to step up so I went and asked Bob what to do. Bob at Bob’s Devices is a really great guy and many people think his SUTs are the best way to deal with an MC cartridge. He talked me out of ... | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? Got a Pi2AES for my Pi and that really measures well as a DDC and its ability to get rid of noise and jitter is astonishing.Looking for a Phono section to use with a Bobs's MC Transformer as it needs to feed MM to work and I just have line. | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Just got a Denafrips Ares II. Its really good, a wonderful source for any digital system. | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums Good lord. You want them locked to the ground. Any speaker movement will smear your sound. Serious spikes, steel straps and turnbuckles may be overkill. | |
| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? My life is so simple. I just buy the appropriate Cardas cable that I can afford. ;) Just bought their cheap digital RCA one, for my somewhat experimental network bridge I have built. | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration My turntable levitates : https://solidairaudio.com/product-category/special-offers/It works very well. | |

Sold the Quad... | |

Its not hard to see why, as its absolutely effortless from your RAM.I have actually tested this extensively, and an NVMe drive is pretty close to ... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Just rip your CDs to an NVMe drive. They play much better from one really. A DVD/Blueray burner is incredibly good at this kind of thing and is about $40 these days. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pick Hits - John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Gary Grainger and Robert AriesAn absolutely wonderful NHK Japan, live recording. On Gramavision. | |
| Power conditioner types I have a PS Audio Power Plant Regenerator. I hunted it down and convinced the owner to sell it to me. One of the best things I have ever bought for my system.Real black background, and this is through my all Tube system. Magic really. ;) | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? I shut my tube stuff down. Everything else runs forever, especially the computer, they hate being power cycled. ;) | |
| Vinyl / Digital / and can you have too much information. Mine were mostly bought from the late 40s to the 80s range. I don't doubt you are right but lack of overtones is one of a host of problems sound assembled from samples has. I have not that many records left, gave most of them to my son when he m... | |
| Best amp for KEF LS50 I have a pair of Sonic Frontiers SFM 75s that have bonded with the LS 50s extremely well. Tube monoblocks FTW. ;) | |
| Vinyl / Digital / and can you have too much information. Yeah but my records are much older. Its true the lack of overtones is a real problem. Investigate. ;) |
