Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Is there any further update on the more recent units as far as reliability is concerned? I think if the current unit does not have any major problem, it would an excellent cleaner to get. 
Magico Q5 vs Nola Babygrand ref. vs Egg. Savoy sig
I really like Q5 but to hear it at its best, you need a lot of very high quality power. Probably 300-400 watts minimum.Nola is also pretty nice but I have not heard their bigger speakers so I can't really comment. Scaenas is interesting. It could ... 
Lamm ML 1 best power cable
Do you mean the hybrid M1 or the tube ML2 or ML3?Personally I use Stealth Dream with M2.2 hybrid monoblocks.I have been slowly replacing Synergistic Research cables with Stealth over the past few years. I also tried Shunyata, Elrod, JPS, Acoustic ... 
Aesthetix Rhea Signature and IO MK2
Programmergeek, hmm.... if the tubes are quite new, I would guess that it is less to be the tubes. Sonically, they are not quite as good as NOS tubes but they are carefully selected and it would be rather difficult to find a whole set of NOS that ... 
Aesthetix Rhea Signature and IO MK2
For what's its worth, I have Io Eclipse and it may be a bit noisier than my Lamm LP2 but I certainly don't think that it is noisy. However, my dealer did warn me that using stock tubes, with daily usage, the tubes may not last much more than a yea... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet?
How many will be sold? Quite a few I would imagine. All I know is over here, my local dealer placed order for 2 pairs, one is already sold and the other has a tentative buyer. One is a Q5 owner the other was going to buy Q5 but when heard about Q7... 
Latest new generation Lyra
I heard from my local dealer that it should be launched at CES. All I know is that it supposed to be placed above Titan but not replacing it or something like that. 
PSU upgrade for TW AC 1
Pradeep, I just have the PSU for now to use with single motor on Raven AC1. In the future, I probably will look into 3 motors upgrade or use Black Night motors if that's possible but that's probably still a long way off. 
PSU upgrade for TW AC 1
I think it is well worth it at least in my case.After hearing some people talking about using Black Night PSU with good result,when I ordered my Raven AC-1, I ordered it with Black Night PSU as it would cost me just a bit more to get the upgrade P... 
TW Acustic 10.5 and Graham Phantom Supreme II
I have not heard Graham with TW Raven AC-1 but heard Raven 10.5 and went with Reed 3Q 12 inch instead. Both are excellent, Raven may be a bit more neutral, a bit less personality, does not seem to add and subtract anything much. However it does no... 
Playback Designs MPD-3
I am not sure if it is accurate to say that PD is the first DAC to resample PCM to DSD2. At least EMM and Esoteric can do the same thing, converting PCM to DSD whether it is the same resampling, upsampling or whatever, I am not sure. When I had Es... 
Playback Designs MPD-3
Ghasley, how do you playback DSD from computer file? PC or Mac and which software? I am in the process of getting may be a Korg MR-2000s to digitalized my LP and am debating about 24/276 vs DSD/DSD2 format. My understanding is that, at least for P... 
Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i?
A friend of mine also had his A90 retipped by Ortofon earlier this year. Initially Ortofon said that it could not be done as they would have to build the mechanisim from scratch again they way they built it initially and for some reasons they were... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
Since I have a good selection of 6922, GAT is definitely very tempting. If you can't find pinched waist Amperex, Mazda is pretty good alternative. Kind of a compromise between Mullard and Telefunken, in a way. But Pinched waist Amperex has much be... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
US Pinched waist Amperex 6922 is what I am using now. I have been trying to beg/steal Holland pinched waist Amperex from a friend to try to no avail so far. Other that I tried, Blackburn Mullard, Mazda 6922, Gold Aero 7308 and various Telefunken t...
