Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
Lloydelee21 Look up the thread, "Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?" I just wrote about the Halcyonics versus StillPoints. Of course, I never had the SP Ultra when I had my two Halcyonics. 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Peterayer, I compared the SP Rack not the later Ultra SS and Ultra Five feet. The Rack did use the new "technology" of StillPoint but had the liability, since removed, of having acrylic shelves. Again, however I could put everything on the SP Rack... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Peterayer, I had two Halcyonics unit with one under the turntable and one under the amp most of the time. I had thought to buy more Halcyonics but the price got outrageous. Really it was the StillPoints Rack that came along first. When I put every...

Halcro, I think you are entirely right about structural borne vibrations but turntables have many equally difficult problems all of which rob the music of its magic.About two years ago I discovered the new StillPoints isolation feet, component sta...

The reality is once again that there is no consensus on anything in audio. I have a Nantais Lenco Reference on order and will use it with Ikeda 407 tone arm and 9TT cartridge. I have found Jean not pompous but rather justifiably proud of his achie...

Jazzonthehudson, having had many Aurios, Townshend speaker slings, etc., I will strongly suggest that you try the StillPoints Ultra SSs or Ultra Fives. The SSs are cheaper but nowhere near as outstanding. If you have the original shallow concave A...

Doug99, ironically it is not the same guy. My guy cannot afford another pair of speakers and has never been involved in recording. He is retired from the Army.

Ct0517, It is the Reference which I'm getting. I had heard about this, but had not seen a citation of it.

Thuchan, I have only once heard an EMT927 and even that was with no comparison to anything else. I love vinyl but find it very inconvenient also. I am soon to get an idler wheel Lenco based tt. I doubt if the EMT927 has never been surpassed, but h... 
Which DAC is better?
829yn, I have never heard any of the dacs you list and feel that even USB2 is short of SP Dif and certainly short of FW. As Audiojan says only you can make the judgment. Digital is moving ahead so rapidly, that anything you buy today will be obsol...

Jazzonthehudson, John Dunlavy never believed in anything under the speakers. At the time there was nothing that could stand their weight. I would think the StillPoints Ultra Fives would be outstanding under them.There have been some crossover mods... 
Magico Comparison
Teeshot, keep the V3s. They are the best sounding Magicos. 
Duntech Soverigns - help needed
Jazzonthehudson, I know a guy in Tennessee with Sovereigns. Somehow I lack his telephone number, but I know how to reach him. But go to Google. There are reviews and pictures. It is interesting that I see a pair for sale for $7600 which is more th... 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Davide256, I find nothing that you say to be true in my experience. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Learsfool, It has always been my use of the question of whether or not you can tell a piano heard through a wall is real or a recording. Perhaps I'm not quite there yet with the High Fidelity Cables, but I am much closer than I ever imagined was p...
