| Phono Pre Advice I have the Gold Note and am comparing it with my existing LFD LE. The Gold Note is tremendous and its myriad tuning options really help nail the sound you want and that your record demands. I find it's not as expansive as the LFD, though it does d... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tears for Fears: Seeds of Love. Sheer sonic bliss. | |
| LFD LE phono stage questions Also, if anyone has access to lfd Le manual oh, I would be willing to share it, I'd love that too. | |
| Nature Sounds CD's Try this artist:http://earthear.com/quin.htmlDoug Quin creates and produces some amazing sounding cd's | |
| Why a separate DAC? What model of Burr Brown chip does it have? There are tons of really good DACs on the market in the $1000 range. But if your Yamaha's existing BB chip is good, then you may not notice too much a difference. | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription Same here. I stick with tidal over Deezer because of its jazz catalog | |
| What dealer/distributor has influenced you most? The late Don Hoatson at The Sound Room in Maryland. He was patient and kind to a new audiophile and never once upsold me on anything. Dispensed advice judiciously and let me borrow and test equipment frequently. His son now runs the business on th... | |
| Benz Micro Ace SH - retip worth it? So it turns out that Benz doesn't retip anymore because of a 2 1/2 year turnaround time. So I'll probably send it off to soundsmith. It's a really good cartridge and I like it sound. | |

| Acoustic Zen owners/impressions Amazing speakers. Had the Adagios and heard the Crescendos. Plus, Robert Lee offers excellent service! | |

As has been written earlier, I find it hard to accept a little metal box that sells for $50,000 has the same amount of technology, testing, and time invested of a similarly priced Mercedes. Or that a record clamp is a technological marvel enough t... | |
| Anyone else notice rating scales are getting inflated? A few months ago there was a speaker listing in which one of the tweeters was pushed in. The speakers were rated an "8". I called this out to the poster, who responded that it was only the "dust cover" of the tweeter and didn't affect the sound. ... | |
| VTA for Sumiko tonearm? @mofimadness Thanks! It's that triangular piece with the threaded steel pillar. That's the part that's missing. | |
| spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set My M3 Turbo S's are an endgame speaker. For now :). But seriously, having had everything from Maggie to AZ, Triangle to Focal, Ref 3A to Totem, Vandys to Decware, the Spatials are the most satisfying. |
