Sounds nice. Appreciate your feedback. Here’s a thought.....there’s a couple Atlantics currently for sale here at very reasonable prices. You buy one and sell me your Amber for $1k. It’s a win - win  for everyone!!! Seriously, I plan to approach m...

Thankful....I talked to Fred today and he made the same suggestion. Since my budget is tight, he suggested I leave the clocks for a future upgrade. Can you tell me what you heard after getting the super clocks installed?  Was it an  upgrade worth ...

Thinking one or both of your DACs are feeling ignored. You should probably sell one.  :  ) 
Lampizator evolution
Hi Thankful Please educate me. I’m assuming the super clocks were an add-on. Are they supposed to reduce jitter?  Is a person able to hear the difference?  To get the “tubes rectified “, was that also an additional cost?  What does that add-on do?...

I’m jealous. A little familiar with Aesthtix brand. Awesome equipment. Looked at Lampizator site and see Atlantic and Amber II but don’t see an Atlantic II. Did you mean Amber II? Have to ask .....why the need for  2 DACs? 
Digital inputs ....is one really better than another?
I appreciate everyone’s input. I lack local audio stores and can’t afford to ship in equipment to audition. And I suspect I have only a single upgrade in my future before “the wife” puts her foot down. So that’s why I’m asking questions. I’ve foll... 
Digital inputs ....is one really better than another?
Steve, are you saying that AES/EBU, when done right, is the best connection?Mesch, you say your Audiophleo2 is “connected via AES/EBU directly without cable”.  Huh? How is that accomplished? 
Digital inputs ....is one really better than another?
Bryston rep claims AES/EBU is best for BDP-1/BDA-1; but USB connection is best with the BDP-3/BDA-3. I wanted to upgrade to an Aurender player but the Aurender lacks AES/EBU; and Bryston told me SQ would suffer using the BDA-1’s USB. So my path fo... 
Anyone using an Okki Nokki?
Had my Okki for 3 months after owning a Spin Clean for 2 years. Love the ON. It cleans better and is soooo easy to use. My complaint with the SC is the setup and cleanup. Also, the grunge from the first couple lps hangs suspended in the SC, necess... 
Sound quality of a Bryston BDA-1 vs the BDA-2 or BDA-3
Appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Think I want to start looking for a used BDA-3 or Manhattan or even Brooklyn. Thanks again 
After a (weeks) worth of listening...
Slaw - Iron Butterfly's "Ball" lps is to die for. What an exceptional recording. Can't keep my feet still.  
Mono recordings
I get the final word on this subject - just listened to my digital recordings of The Beach Boys/Pet Sounds and Cream/Disraeli Gears. Hands down, the stereo tracks are more sonically appealing ....to my ears.

Thanks thanks guys for the education. I’m back home now and will give my 3 mono lps another listen tonight, albeit with a stereo cartridge.

Sorry. Have to take a time out from this discussion. Family emergency

Kenny - Convenience of music files on a server is undeniable. With my humble Bryston BDP-1/BDA-1 combo, I have not encountered the problems you cited. May I ask what digital equipment you have?
