| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming @thecarpathian Why thank you!! | |
| SPDIF vs. AES/EBU Sound Quality? SPDIF unless terminated in proper 75 ohm BNCs, is my least favored way to move a digital signal. AES works well, and I have also been quite satisfied with USB 2.0 | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming @jond - Pretty sure I am headed towards Auralic- and I agree- the user interface/app is tremendously important. I now have experience using Bluos as well as Audirvana to access Qobuz- I find Audirvana notably more flexible and Bluos is perfectly a... | |
| new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy I listened to this LP at a friend's house last week. I was not impressed with the quality of the pressing. | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? Well known issue with VPI and Rega tables. A cap across the power switch of the right value is the answer. I had that issue years ago when I owned a Rega. | |

| Poor Customer Service Fortunately, I have had great experiences dealing with numerous companies. My most recent experiences were Pass, Bricasti and McIntosh. All were efficient and superb. Years back I had experience with Bryston and they were rock solid too. I have to... | |
| Equipment Repairs NY area?? I had an Icon w/Power Boss in the 90's. It was a very good machine. CAL is long gone, and honestly, CD playback has dramatically improved from the days of the Icon. A Rega Apollo will blow it out of the water. I would not put money into a CD playe... | |
