| Arm suitability have you run the numbers on the vinylengine calculator tool to check resonance? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Questions to ask as I shop for a tonearm? @williewonka Thanks for that post. I just bought an Audiomods V, which is at Sota to be mounted on the new Series Six Nova they are building for me now. My hunt (discussed in another thread) came down to the Audiomods or the new Jelco 850, 950s. ... | |
| So I have a DAC; now what Player should I look at? @audioengr Steve, ever try Lumin app with that setup? vs. Kinsky & Kazoo, it’s got a mighty friendly GUI. Plays well w/mimimserver. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. Yggy certainly plays high rez to 24/192. Don't see much source material higher than that. It doesn't do DSD, so if ripping SACDs is your thing, look elsewhere. BTW, Darko's reviews and news on Analog 2 etc. are worthwhile reads. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. The only thing that I found significantly better than my Gumby is very pricey Aqua Formula. Improving what feeds it is often neglected and can make a bigger difference than what you might expect. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Questions to ask as I shop for a tonearm? @toschsii,You're being very smart to ask those questions. It's a complicated and often frustrating subject for some. You are lucky that there are many helpful experts here. I would suggest paying close attention to comments from@almarg @raulariega... | |
| So I have a DAC; now what Player should I look at? Synology or QNAP NAS & a Sonore microRendu would be hard to beat. Search archives, so many times similar has recently been answered. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Wanted: Suggestions for driving Celestion SL600 Speakers! Call Mark O'Brien at Rogue and ask him about his newer integrateds. The tube magic that you found appealing will be there, but his gear has come a long way since they made the 90s. IIRC, those are pretty efficient speakers and don't need a ton of ... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? Used NAD like you were considering before or something new-direct from Schiit Audio are going to sound worlds better than the Emotiva or Yamaha IMHE. What exactly is your budget. Are you looking for an integrated amp? Your speakers both are promis... | |
| Cowsills @bdp24 Great shout out for the Continental Drifters. One of those bands I love that hardly anybody seems to know. Vermillion is a real gem! There's a really good documentary on the Cowsills that's on tv once in a while on AXS or VH1...if you fans ... | |
| Ripping to FLAC - Lumin D2 users If you have a Mac, XLD works great. It's free too. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Is there a cost effective 'quality' USB and Network cable? For network cables, I'd suggest that bluejean cables certainly deserves to be in the conversation. Many at computeraudiophile recommended them to me, and I've been happy with their ethernet cables. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers OP, the IMHE, the main differences in the Yggy and Gumby are that the Yggy is a tad better at extracting the last details from complex recordings. That makes it seem a bit more analytical. The Gumby is a bit more organic sounding, a bit warmer, bu... | |
| Step up from Bluesound Vault 2, next move? @uberwaltz ,I was in a similar place a few years ago trying to figure out how to get the best digital source sound quality to my dac within a modest/medium budget. My mac mini running Audirvana+ just wasn't involving compared to my vinyl rig and I... | |
| What kind of gear do you listen to Mars with? So I can't listen to it via my Dynavector? Cheers,Spencer |
