Whats on your turntable tonight?
@6t5-gto -- "Waltz for Debbie" was included as a filler materials for another album I ordered from Discogs several years ago. I vacuum cleaned it, brushed it, anad spun and it sounded pristine! A free pressing of a good album.Tonight - The Fixx -R... 
H390 or seperate amp and dac?
Having owned the H160 previously and asked many questions about the 390, I was comfortable using the H160's DAC and my Oppo as a transport. The Hegels have a great reputation for brilliant house dacs.

I just talked with Steve up at Decware who said the lead time for the Torii is 20+ weeks.  Yikes. Will check out Coincident and am also considering the Raven Blackhawk.

What are you streaming tonight?
Oddly enough, some of C418's MInecraft soundtrack. Immaculately produced.

Nick Drake - Bryter Layter. "Northern Sky" just floats in the air in front of me. When my first wife and I were separating, I think the most amicable part of that disaster was when we split our Nick Drake collection.

I think the best integrated I’ve ever had besides the LFD was the LSA Statement. What an underappreciated gem.Oh, and what's the word on Jadis?

Rush - Grace under Pressure (original 1984 pressing)(with Synergistic Green and Black PHT's on the headshell and tonearm) 
Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here?
So, I decided to move both the Green and the Black onto the headshell and corrected for TF. Put on an original pressing of Rush - Grace Under Pressure. Much more constrained and limited soundstage. So I placed the Green back by the pivot and thing...

@kijanki but how do ohm,etc, get established when they eschew traditional marketing?And I distinctly remember Hyperion speakers. They are beautiful to look out, well designed, and more important, sounded delicious. I wonder if their demise was als...
