Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
Thanks all, so this is what I am going to do based on what I have read here. 1. I need to do a better test. I think someone gave me an idea with Daft Punk. I might test 1 track from Random Access Memories and compare both digital vs LP. 2. I nee... 
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
@bubba12 thanks, I kind of had a feeling about this as well.  
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
ok, it might be potentially the source material. I think Ill need to find another song/album to compare with and play them one after the other to do an A/B test.  
Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here?
You can yes, but you have to be careful. I wont comment on the others, but I will say, you have absolutely no proof or recollection of where you read about Simaudio Moon. To add to that, just because someone passed away, doesn't mean the company g... 
My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought
I agree with some of the comments here. Digital is great, but with the right setup and the right mastered record (or original etc) , its really tough to beat records.  
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@ddafoe Yes indeed! although, for the life of me, Im so curious to know and test what an xp22 would sound like in my room. Unfortunately, the only 1 store that sells pass labs here in my city, does not carry the speaker brand I own sadly.

Are you buying used or new? Its a shame you have the preamp section in the 390 because I would probably suggest the 600i v2 if you can get it used. I sold my v1 for so cheap compared to what its worth, and its great. There is of course the 860 if ...

@ericba I see thanks, would the Luna gray or Orange be ok? Seems like Mauve is a out of my budget sadly.   
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@ericba you have a good point there. I have a 280d -> moon 740p -> Pass Labs x250.8  I might look into Luna going from the 280d to 740p, but maybe might need to do the same Im assuming from pre amp to amp as well? from pre amp to amp Im usi... 
Moon 390 Network Streamer
I have a 280d and its really good. You will like the 390. Not sure why someone would say they might not be in business much longer. I would love to see a source / article you read stating that they are biting the dust...

Just to add, I would start with the Classic cable and look into the ultimate to see if it is a worthwhile upgrade in the future.  
The end of physical media is neigh
The end isn't near. LG was never selling many players to begin with. Most sales went to Panasonic and Sony. Those are still the top decently priced ones to get and they still sell plenty. I'm surprised LG didn't make this move sooner tbh.   
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
Ill be checking some of the links posted here. But basically, any product you use, should get an proper rinse after, in case any of the cleaning chemicals are left behind. You need to first use a tool that will clean it properly, then rinse. I use...
