Cheers,I agree that Sapphire w/vacuum & SM... | |
| Ken Micallef interviews Joe Harley. Nice callouts! Ken does a great job asking most of the questions on our minds in these. Some of the better videos on audio I've seen lately. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? First hearing of DQ-10s is what pulled me in!I've got 30yr old Soundlabs, Krell amp & BAT preamp that were just "light used" when buying them. After a decade of happy use, now I suppose they are vintage! Cheers,Spencer | |

| SGC vs Roon Nucleus @patrickdowns, When I've seen seen any issue like you describe, it has to do with the local network, not sonicorbiter.com. For example, I use Eero mesh routers and look at my eero app to confirm that the rendu and sonicorbiter are visible and acti... | |

His Walker table, Avalon, Atma-sphere monos etc. plus a ROOM full of LPs made things a challenge. VPI users, when I used a 16.5... | |

Easy to implement once you source the ingredients. Here's the link https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach... | |
| Suggestions For Analog Upgrade - Tonearm or Phono Stage? @cerrot thanks for the suggestion, which I like, and sorry if I was unclear, but the Allnic would be about double my budget. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Experience with good d/s DACs “comparable@ to R2R? @riccitone,You definitely IDed most of the top contenders in the range. I agree that most of the better R2R will beat most non-R2R. FWIW, I recently upgraded from Schiit Gungnir Multibit to Denafrips Pontus II and it was a huge improvement. Never... | |
| The value of embellishment? Fluance, Audio Technica and Crosley will be selling vegan leather versions in time for the holidays. I'm sending mine back to VPI for the $1000 double-stitching upgrade. Cheers,Spencer |
