Oppo protection plan ??
Gdhal, I saw it on a site selling them. Don’t remember now. Thanks to all for comments.  
Rockport Technologies addresses cabinet vibration?
Yes aldenberry. Absolutely agree and I sure wish I could afford the Aviors. Happy listening. Pete 
Why no Spectral phono stage?
Ctiphd. I appreciate you want a phono pre upgrade. FWIW, as a Spectral owner with fussy ears (classical,jazz, solo instruments) I have found a significant, across the board improvement by adding an Equitech 2Q to my system. If you can audition one... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
georgehifi,Your consideration was well intentioned;I got it.Perhaps I was just 'choked' from the charbroiled 'chicken feet'.However,fwiw, I agreed with your comments. Cheers. Pete 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
I’ve come to think you’d simply prefer to talk about Schitt.  
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Including also the innumerable recording and finishing studios that wouldn’t start a session without Equitech. Oh well, what do pros, who rely on their sound for their sound and reputation know ?   
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
I appreciate you are looking for an “incremental” upgrade. I guess that’s why you wouldn’t be interested in experimenting with an Equitech ( 2Q ) who’s users read like a who’s who in extreme tech and engineering circles (NASA comes to mind). The i...

Best way to decrease the internal volume of a sealed speaker?
I’ll second georgehifi’s suggestion of liquid nail and bricks - with a twist; use 4 bricks. Glue them as close as possible to the centres of the sides and back and the available space near the tweeter on the front. Help strengthen and damp the wal... 
Best DAC for my situation...Read on!
More than 80% of digital component(perhaps all components in a refined system) performance is isolation and noise elimination. I recommend BEfore upgrading, audition an Equitech 2Q for about $2400 used. A permanent extreme value improvement. Good ... 
Oppo UDP - 205
Boisehomes. I’m not disagreeing with your ideas on upgrading. I suggest before you do; audition the benefits of an Equitech 2Q ( maybe $2400used)  in your system. That and some basic MIT Oracle lll (non networked) power cords ( maybe $600 used) wi... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
Ricred1. My opinion is Jeff’s change has nothing to do with “sound quality” and is rather the same old, same old of everyone who enjoys writing, critiquing, expounding — ie attracting more audience <•> <•> — or advertisers € £ ¥. Again... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
I believe the gdhal is interested in hearing better sound. I didn’t see a list of his components. IMHO a worthwhile improvement should be immediately recognizable. I suggest returning the Yggy immediately and use the funds to buy a used Equitech 2... 
Thorend TD-125 Tonearm/Cartridge recommendations?
The SME tonearm and top Shure cartridge gave me very decent sound with that table about 30 years ago. My ears were just as good then.  
Are tuners still popular
To sounds real. I’d like your tuner if it’s working. Thanks. Pete. pts1@shaw.ca
