| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Doug. Best of luck with your patent!Is there a limit on how high the quality or expense the interconnects used are. In other words, is what makes the S.M. special is that you can use 2 sets of less expensive cables to get the sonics of a very expe... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Thanks Doug.Is this a relatively new method as I don’t think I’ve ever read any cable manufacturer offering their interconnects doubled and soldered into a single connector. Can expensive interconnects be damaged when disassembling the incorporate... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Bringing this thread back up as I never seen or heard of it before and just read about the S.M. for the first time when i was looking at the Anticables website and it was mentioned.... I am curious as to the systems of posters who are using this m... | |
| Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res Couple of thoughts:1) if you're going to buy a power conditioner, look into Richard Gray's Custom 1200. Or their 400's....I have a 1200 and Jeff Rowland amps. I contacted Jeff as I was wondering same as you and the RG is a power conditioner he app... | |
| A revealing speaker Good stuff. I recently received Tony's Drum's and Bells CD but have not had a chance to listen to it yet. Tony emailed me soon after I got it to find out what I thought. I felt bad that I wasn't able to play it for awhile due to system repairs but... | |

| Looking for a front end streamer only. Wouldn't the dcs Bridge you mention fit the bill?https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/11/05/review-dcs-network-bridge-the-swiss-army-knife-of-streamer...It supports Roon and is $4,250 U.S.. I liked it cause I could use my Android as the controller.... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Straight Wire Crescendo 3's. That's what I have with my Focal Mezzo Utopia's. Look them up. Under priced for what they are. | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. Folks are free to spend their money as they choose but for me, there better be a brick of gold in that pouch thing. | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Oh man @mijostyn AJ rolling in his grave about the Calibrator? That is hysterical..Ok, no Calibrator Base. Great suspension etc. but the Cosmos is one of the most unassuming, unimpressive t.t.’s I’ve seen. And I hate paying a premium for wood fini... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thank you for your offer Jim. I would LOVE to hear that analog rig. Wowser.My feeling now is, at 60, I don’t want to go in stages. I’ve been spending months researching and educating myself. That is the biggest thing. But, I want to make the right... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thanks @jperry That is high praise indeed for the Vector tonearm. "Massive" improvement is great!How much more of an improvement is your Garrard 301 from the Basis 2001? I currently have a Benz Micro Wood M2 w/ Boron Cantilever($1600 new I believ... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thanks @jperry. As much as I want an upgraded new toy, I feel like I haven’t really tested the Basis yet. The Basis rep wrote to me: "The Rega was one of the few stop gap products for Basis, so more customers could experience a Basis turntable, an... |
