| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? I've owned two Joule preamps and Joule phono stages. I agree with the characterizations above. The preamps are rich tonally, and work great with a variety of amps both ss & tube. These days they are a nice value used. Rich Brkich at Signature ... | |
| Shorten my speaker cables? The other thing that will help besides going to shorter speaker cables is to go to longer interconnects and move the gear away from in between the speakers. Cheers,Spencer | |
| VPI 3D printed arm mod. When Harry changed from 12.6 to 12.7 he brought back adjustable fluid damping. IMHE it was a big improvement and continues to be useful. What I hear contradicts @stringreen 's comment above about closing in the sound and eliminating air. That's wh... | |
| recommendation on new brush I like the Acoustech Big Brush, which goes across the full LP from edge to center in one swipe. Got it as a gift and it surpassed AQ & Hunt brushes. Cheers,Spencer | |

| USB or Bluetooth from Mac laptop to Wyred 4 Sound Dac? Advice I was thinking you might be able to do what I do which is:1) rip CDs to digital and store them on network attached storage (i.e. NAS) drive which plugs into router via ethernet cable2) Use Sonore microRendu as digital network player. It's a tiny b... | |
| Oppo 103 firmware FYI, Oppo owners: 103 & 105 can now be used to rip SACDs! Google it, I know people who've done it successfully. Could be a lifesaver for a few out there with big SACD collections. Cheers,Spencer | |
