| VPI TNT Turntables The TNT series included versions numbered 1 through 6. I own the TNT6HR. "HR" hot rod, means that the tonearm assembly is directly mounted to the plinth without a typical armboard. The various TNTs included many evolutionary improvements and not a... | |
| Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful? NHT, but haven't heard from them in years. Still around? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Do female audiophiles exist Rushton's wife is the only one I have the pleasure to know. Elizabeth is so good, I'd say she counts as two. Cheers,Spencer | |
| DAC that will play 196/256 files through optical input That is a shame. You do know that the Vault only handles sample rates up to 192, right? So even if you find an answer to your original question, you'd have to upgrade from the Vault to take advantage of those higher sample rates. Also aren't the o... | |
| When spending less than $5,000 how much of a guide is price? Those speakers are so different in almost every way, really quite far apart in nature. Have you heard these models before? In very broad strokes, the Totems are nice for small rooms if you appreciate midrange accuracy and don't expect much low fre... | |
| DAC that will play 196/256 files through optical input OP, why do you want to use optical output? What will the source component be? Cheers,Spencer | |

| Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful? Clever move, Willy. Sort of a "transmission line band aid". Cheers,Spencer | |
| Tekton Pendragons Buying and selling new heavy speakers with high shipping costs and/or restocking fees without hearing them first is an exercise in futility. Not great for sellers nor buyers. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Stylus cleaner Magic Eraser! Read the old thread with comments/photos from dougdeacon for proof of how well it works. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Guidelines for buying used speakers (as in, are there any?) Read seller feedback most important. Don't buy from someone unproven as a seller unless local pickup is an option. Your guidelines might be okay starting point, but plenty older than 5yrs that would be great buys and last many years without incide... | |
| Full Manual Turntable-What to do Turn table off this should be no problem. It will protect your records. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? Carl Marchisotto of Nola and Alon fame worked with Jon Dahlquist on the DQ-10. DQ-10s were one of the first high end speakers I heard, driven by an Amber 70 amp. Very inspiring stuff at the time! Cheers,SpencerPS: Kenny if you are still in the nei... | |
| DAC recommendation in the $1k range +1 for Schiit dacs. The Gungnir Multibit is $1249 or basic Gungnir is $849 and can be upgraded later to Multibit for $500. Loving it here. Will be even better when my Sonore microRendu arrives. Cheers,Spencer |
