Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique?
Go with the Wilson's. Set-up properly and matched with the proper components, cables, they are hard to beat. They sound amazing at low sound levels too (still very dynamic) and completely disappear in the room. Huge soundstage and holographic imag...

Record weights 'n clamps: Audible improvements ?
I just received my TT Weights Super Ring (675 grams). It deliver's big time. Dramatic improvements in soundstage depth and air along with much firmer grip/clarity on the bass. I had no idea what I was missing. Highly recommended.

I would buy an Okki Nokki RCM over a 16.5. Better build quality, auto shut off when waste cleaning fluid reservoir fills. All metal construction.I almost bought the 16.5, but at the same price for the Okki Nokki, the decision was easy. 
Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static
When I vacuum off my final rinse it is for no more than 2 rotations, then I air dry the LP for 1/2 hour prior to putting it back into a sleeve. I have found static to start to be an issue at 3 or more rotations. I use an Okki Nokki RCM. I will onl...

The bridge has other issues,,,growing pains like problems with gapless play for continuous live music for flac files (The usual way to lossless compress wavs on a hard drive). They almost have it figured out. PS Audio provides firmware updates whe...

From what I have read on the PS Audio forums on their website, those that have both seem to indicate the PWT may beat the bridge by a bit. The president of PS Audio disagree's however. The PWT with I2S hdmi connection to the PWD is a great combo..... 
Record weights 'n clamps: Audible improvements ?
Hard to beat the Clearaudio twister clamp, imo. I prefer it to their more expensive complete alloy models. Simple twist and it locks down the record. It's a great complement to an outer ring weight.

Which purchase tipped you into nirvana.
My analog rig finally put the smile on my face after many years of digital dissatisfaction. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Folks, when I said... cymbals sound the same, I meant to really say that with analog, on my system...I am getting much more enjoyment from the cymbals having much better timbre with a more natural attack and decay than achieved with digital...Afte... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
04-19-11: Raymonda(All cymbals mostly sound alike on a digital rig...not so with analog).You must have a very poor performing system. Not only should you be able to tell what type of cymbal was use but also what brand of microphone was used to rec... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I own the Perfect wav system. Cymbals are lacking in digital when compared to analog. You must listen to a good analog rig to even making a comparison. Prior to analog I had no problems with cymbal timbre, attack and decay on my digital front end ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
One thing I know for sure Dev....Chasing the digital dragon never quite satisfies. Analog ? It's like coming home to roost. Home sweet home. Cheers !
