| My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought @tomic601 +1 on the Hana ML. For the money, I think it's a great cartridge. | |
| Got Innuous, now a DAC The Gustard manual isn't bad. They just fail to cover firmware updates. Which is bad. Lol. It's over your budget, but I'm very happy with my Gustard X30 dac. I'm using a Gustard U18 ddc, but you could use the USB input. I also have an Innuos Z... | |

| Got Innuous, now a DAC @xpsvwino I didn’t notice any improvement with the firmware update. It really wasn’t worth the risk of bricking it. I did it because I thought it would increase the font size on the display, but it didn't do it. | |
| DDC Comparisons Something to consider is the pin out on the I2s connection. Your Gustard dac should have a pin out that matches the U18. I’m using the shortest version of the cable linked below. It’s designed specifically for I2S. You want to use a short cable. ... | |
| Got Innuous, now a DAC @xpsvwino I was able to update my R26 when I had it. I found a video on YouTube. It was a little sketchy, but I managed to do it. I was kinda worried that I would brick the dac. Gustard needs to provide good directions for updating firmware. | |
| DDC Comparisons I'm connecting an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer to a U18 and to a Gustard X-30 dac by i2s. It sounds great, but I haven't done any comparisons. | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I have two of the Ikea 4 x 4 units. I went to Home Depot and bought some inexpensive 1/8" wood sheet and put a back on them. They're pretty stable now. In one of them, I bought the optional drawers (two drawers in one cube). | |
| A cable too perfect? I went through something similar when I installed my Silversmith Audio Fidelium speaker cables. It took a while to adjust to the additional clarity, detail, and tighter bass. If you want to try another inexpensive cable for grins, I just bough... | |
| Where to put best interconnects I’ve found that both the cable between my dac to preamp and preamp to amp make a difference. I’m using the same cable type for both. I couldn’t say which one is more important. | |
| Where to put best interconnects This question always gets differing answers. What do you have for cables? | |
| MissingCDs and records I think a lot of people take pleasure in collecting vinyl and the ritual of playback, cleaning records, etc. Nothing unusual about that. Same with cds. I've been buying cds lately that I can stream. Seems stupid, but it's what I enjoy. Good luck... | |

| Graham Slee Spatia speaker cables - anyone have experience with them? I bet the Spatia will be good. I like the theory behind their interconnects. I think they are a bargain for the quality that you get. | |
| Graham Slee Spatia speaker cables - anyone have experience with them? I have not tried their speaker cables. I'm set in that department. I took delivery today of their AgSat90 interconnect and I'm very impressed. I also have their CuSat50 interconnect. Also a nice cable. They seem to be good at interconnects. Hig... |
