| Can you ground A Rega turntable? You need to solder a wire to the case of the motor and connect it to the base of the tone arm, and then to the ground post of your phono input. | |
| lumin d2 or t1 I suspect this is really splitting hairs on the power supplies. I think the T1 will sound better than D2 mainly because it's a better DAC, not due to negligible power supply differences. | |
| Azimuth 2020 I figured the first response would have been "using my ears". I would fail on a game show. | |
| Threads worth reading! It's amazing how many times he can re-write the exact same title using different words. That is his greatest gift by far. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both Tidal and Qobuz. I prefer the sonics of Qobuz - a bit more depth/saturated, and I don't care for MQA. I only retain both services because Tidal does have a number of titles that simply aren't available on Qobuz. In addition Tidal has... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @transcience Pitting the Amber 3 against the Atlantic TRP and Sonnet Morpheus recently, I have to declare the Amber fully competitive with both. Perhaps absent a little extension at the extremes relative to the TRP but the midband is at least as i... | |

| Hand me down audio equip- upgrade advice How's your room acoustics? Any treatment applied at all? | |
| VAC Preamplifiers Thanks for the perspective @suncoast_audio . Now I have an upgrade to strive for somewhere down the road. | |
| Can a streamer without DAC improve streaming? @lordrootman I think you'd need to move up to say a Lumin U1 mini to get a noticeable improvement in streaming SQ. So that pushes the budget up to around $2K. | |
| VAC Preamplifiers I run a VAC Ren MKV line stage (w/o phono) and believe it's by far the best value in the VAC line of preamps. It does indeed borrow much of it's design from the Statement series. I didn't compare head to head against the Statement but the sonic ... | |
| Can a streamer without DAC improve streaming? Yes, a streamer without DAC can improve streaming but probably not much with a budget less than $1K compared to Node2i. As others have mentioned, you will get more improvement applying that $1K budget towards upgrading the DAC while continuing to... | |
| Will Lyra Delos get Lambda upgrade? It would be interesting to know if the rebuild price goes higher with Lambda compared to prior but I do know that Lyra has stated all Etna and Atlas cartridges that are returned for rebuilding will automatically be upgraded to the latest Lambda sp... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook @lewm Stingray has a built-in phono section? I think he's saying he uses the Chinook with the Stingray. I don't think he was implying in any way the Stingray has a phono section, only that he prefers the MM section on the Chinook over its MC s... | |
| Will Lyra Delos get Lambda upgrade? perhaps @jcarr could weigh in? |
