Adding a Dac and Stresmer

Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling

Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
As in all things HiFi, much of what is being created by one within their system, is based on how previous experiences have been a influence. How would one know an improvement has been made/encountered unless they have a recollection of something ...

What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
@neonknight My friend with the modified Schue TT > OL Illustrious has been very impressed with the set up, and has now come to the conclusion there is more to be discovered. The Schue will soon be coupled with a OL 'Conqueror Mk IV' > Sumik...
