| Sota Sapphire VI Turntables with Origin Live tonearm @Initm I have a Sota Nova VI (very similar to Sapphire), but mine has vacuum, mag-lev bearing and Eclipse speed controller & tachometer. When I was planning I looked hard at OL arms, but landed on Audiomods V (now a VI is available w/new bet... | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... Live at Blues Alley just was released last week on 45rpm, first time on vinyl. I haven't had a chance to A/B vs. my digital version, but definitely a great album in either format. One interesting tidbit in that documentary is that Mick Fleetwood... | |

| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC @alvinnir2 Even an upgrade from Macmini to a modest Sonore microRendu w/LPS made a significant improvement in my pretty resolving system(Soundlabs, Krell amp, BAT preamp). Cheers, Spencer | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @whatsaftumch Yeah, I saw an XTC documentary and Andy was pretty funny in his disdain for Todd. No love there! The Stranglers – No More Heroes | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? While everybody in this thread has made great points, @jjss49 clearly wins. ROFLMAO! Thank you. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC Unfortunately, all the variables mentioned do have an impact. IMHE, an improved streamer will make a bigger difference than just adding ethernet vs. wifi. One important part of that change is that most users of betters streamers will be more likel... | |

| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton @oldhvymec Indeed! Why is this crapola being posted on the forum? Because if you read any threads on the audio topics in the title, you'll see so many posts that do the same thing, rather than raise the conversation. Perhaps a quick self-de... | |
