Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP? Dinster - post you impressions of the AF here - it will be interesting to see how it compares.It looks like a very nice phono and should outperform the Sim based on price - the reviews are very positive.I've just finished burning a new power cable... | |
So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Have you considered the hand built Audiomods tone arms?They start at around $750 + shipping + duty - so budget around $850-$900 for the Classic without the micrometer VTAThe base model has a locking VTA included which is easy to adjust at setup- i... | |
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE Tim - not sure what your expectations are regarding quality of the different sample rates.I've found it depends on the quality of the engineering and not the sample rate.e.g. I downloaded a Melody Gardot album as MP3 - the engineering is superb an... | |

Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? If you are considering tweaks, one I made on my tt was adding the Audiomods Classic arm - with the beadblast finish and gold counterweight and the micrometer VTA (which you only really need if you change carts a lot)A friend has an Audiomods Serie... | |
DAC for iMac System Mesch - you might get a used one with USB for $300, but it won't have the Uber Upgrade which makes all the difference.Mentioning the Bifrost was just so J135 knew I had experience of some of their Schiit :-)The Modi and Loki are more in the price ... | |
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE Tim - it's sounding much betterI liked the part about pushing to the Oppo with the laptop - that's a nice feature of JRiver and sounds very simple.Hope everything goes smoothly. | |
