| Is Rap a valid musical form? This question is straight out of the 80s. Where do they keep finding geezers who wonder if a decades old music genre is actually music? Also surprised that the Tucker Carlson brigade from this forum isn’t out here telling everyone who likes rap ... | |
| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? Definitely none used on Audio Mart. Oh, wait…https://www.usaudiomart.com/search.php?keywords=tekton&type=All&cat_id=&province=&zi...= | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? @lalitk I didn’t see your request for what my system is amongst all the replies. For digital, I’m doing a Decware Torii Mk4 amp, Schiit Saga preamp for volume control and multiple inputs, Omega 6.5 XRS floor standing speakers, a Node2i for streami... | |
| Rega Planar 3: Is the Exact a significant upgrade from the Elys 2? Cool. So I’ll save the $300 I’d be spending on the Exact and either buy more records or use it to start saving for my next cartridge. | |
| Rega Planar 3: Is the Exact a significant upgrade from the Elys 2? Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ve read this about Rega arms and spacers and also that cartridges such as Ortofon, Dynavector, Denon, etc, are better choices than Rega ones. I also know that there are mixed opinions about Rega tables, but I... | |
| Schiit CD Transport on the way soon. @twoleftears Where did you hear that the Sol was discontinued? I’ve read that’s it’s “on hiatus” on account of parts availability. It’s still on the Schiit site as “out of stock”. | |
| Denafrips/Vinshine not everything they were built up to be. Vinshine is a company located in Asia. Telling its owner that you were raised by vets who fought in Asia (Vietnam, Korea) is not necessarily going to prove to them that you had a good upbringing. Their experience of the American military's role an... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... OP here....I want to buy new for the possibility of financing through a dealer and because my brother bought a used turntable once and shipping wasn’t kind to it. So I figured I’d go with my original choice and get a Rega Planar 3. Even though the... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I remember reading in 1976 in French ,the first edition, the" fractal objects" of Mandelbrot and all the book was about measuring in a way...The first chapter was: How to measure brittany coast... One of the most beautiful book i read...The book... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... Clearaudio Concept or Marantz TT 15-S1 are what I would get.Alas, those are pushing $2k new which is double my budget. | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... The PLX 1000 is a Technics 1200 copy for a fraction of the price. It is still excellent and affordable for many. And sounds a lot better than any Rega!Hmmm.....I haven’t heard of the PLX 1000 before. Seems interesting. What’s the problem with Rega... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? Alex....that was brilliant and thank you, even though I canceled my order. It seems that Laura Z and George who answered my emails could only provide limited info...”We hope to ship in 7-10 days” and “So sorry for the wait”, “I’m sorry, the order... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? After a 3 month wait and one too many boilerplate emails from Schiit, I decided to cancel my order today. It feels good! While waiting, I’ve narrowed down a few other directions I might go in and figured why not take the plunge. While I’m sure I w... | |

They never admitted problems up till now. Now we all wait for delivery.clearly they stopped shipping orders. Grossly misleading for too lon... | |
