Opinion on SME 15
I'm a very happy owner of a 20/2 w/V mkiv arm.  I've had it for about two years and have no desire to change.  I have not heard the 15 but those I know who have say it's nearly as good as the 20.  Happy listening! 
BUSTED: UK company is raided for fake vinyl production
I bought a Smiths LP and a Paul Weller LP on ebay recently from a seller in the U.K.  When I received them it was obvious they were counterfeit.  I sent the seller a message and he immediately refunded my money and let me keep the records.  I gues... 
Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?
I have owned both M30's and P3ESR's.Both are great speakers but the M30's are much better.  They offer a much bigger sound, especially the bass.  If you're planning to run a subwoofer with them you'll enjoy either speaker a lot more than without o... 
Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2
I have 40.1's and have used them with two amps.  First was a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP integrated.  This amp was magical with them, but upgrade-itus got the best of me and I now run a Lyngdorf TDAI-3170 integrated with them.  The Lyngdorf is t... 
People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....
I've been hoping for a reasonable priced used 40.1 to pop up. My wife hasn't :)It's funny because a few years ago when I bought my 40.1's second hand, there were quite a few sets available.  They seem to only pop up once in a while.  I guess this ... 
People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....
I upgraded from 30.1's to Harbeth 40.1's and absolutely love them.  I want to get 40.2's but I can't justify the cost when the 40.1's are so perfect.   
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
This is a pretty good explanation of how an analog signal is produced and I found it informative.  However, I do not believe one format is better than the other.  Both digital and analog sound great when played back on high quality gear.  My syste...

Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow
I tried the CD Ripper last night and it crashed the system twice on the first CD I tried.  I was streaming music at the time, which shouldn't matter, right?  Not sure what's up with that.  Anyone else have this problem? 
Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow
I just unboxed the unit last night and all I can say so far is this thing is the easiest component of it's kind to set up that I have ever experienced.  Literally plug it in, connect to the network and DAC, power up and transfer music files.  I se... 
Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow
@audiotroy Thanks for the tips.  I have a good USB cable but hadn't considered needing a high end ethernet cable.  I just bought something from Best Buy.  I will look into the Wireworld one you mentioned.  The unit was delayed one day in shipping ... 
Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions?
I've been using Tidal for about three months now and find the Hifi version sounds better than any other streaming service I've tried, including Spotify Premium.  The hifi version does have fewer selections than the standard version, but for the mo... 
Dick's / Dave's picks
Just now listening to Dave's Picks 28, which came in the mail a few days ago.  It is superb.  Sound quality is amazing and the performance is killer too.  After DP27 I wasn't feeling it but this one is great!
