TechDas III Premium vs Premium S
Got the Premium III S installed a few days ago.  A very impressive machine. Hope you folks are well and good, Robert  
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
Thanks:-) 
VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp
I have the VTL 6.5 III for the tubes and the high number of inputs including two tape monitors.  The stock tubes were SHOUTY.  I have not tried the Amperex, but NOS or lightly used and matched Mullards are quite nice. Y'all be safe, Robert  
Need advice
In most experienced users minds there are many other tubes that sound better than Electro-Harmonix.  For 6922s try the Phillips from Holland. Good listening, Robert  
Is there a difference between Linn LP12 lingo 1 vs lingo 2 other than the case?

Perfect Vinyl Forever

Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
Altecs are not my cup of tea.  Not interested in speakers as an investment, I want some that will sound good with the rest of my system. Yeah, the T-400 is good stuff, but I want them to check it at least. I listen about 12 feet from the speaker...

Tonearm installation / turntable set up HOUSTON/AUSTIN area
For those not familiar with Texas,  Houston is 160 miles from Austin so Mike is apparently willing to drive or has multiple housing arrangements:-)  
ZYX "House" Sound
I second the Lyra suggestion.  The latest generation that started with the Delos and now goes all the way to Atlas are both detailed and full.  I am on my third one as I have been moving up the line.  I will probably stop here at the Etna Lambda S... 
Turntable Isolation Journey
"Then we have the unknowns: Just how rigid is that rack of yours? What is the structure of your floor -- this matters more than what’s on its surface. If your floor is not rigid enough, then it won’t be enough for your rack to be rigid. That’s...

No post from him or video since the end of 2021.  Anybody know if he is OK? Robert  
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
Or A5s with any other lower power Pass Labs amp?  
Turntable Isolation Journey
Hey Folks, Hopefully within the next two weeks I will have my TechDas III Premium S.  Note the S as that denotes the newer isolation feet.  Initially it will sit a bit behind but within two feet of my right speaker.  It will be on an inexpensive ...
