| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? @whipsaw Yes- re coaxial- the problem with the S/PDIF is that it’s a 75 ohm connection and there really isn’t any true 75 ohm coaxial cable that uses RCA terminations. That’s why I use an AES cable, which in fact can be a true 110 ohm termination,... | |

| Thoughts on a cartridge I have a friend who has he Goldring- sounds quite good- it is a lively cartridge. I like it | |
| Mistakes I’ve made @testpilot I've heard this when confronted-"Oh, you already have a really nice stereo- I never thought you would want your ______ back" | |

| Mistakes I’ve made No not at all- Can I interest you in a DAC and speakers? Genuinely funny!Oh, and a buddy of mine now is borrowing a tube headphone amp and a pair of headphones- I doubt those will be tossed out- | |
| Mistakes I’ve made Because when you borrow something you're only a temporary caretaker, and duty bound to return what you've borrowed, none the worse for the wear. | |
| Mistakes I’ve made tooblue thank you for the kind words- it means a great deal to me- my 2021 resolution list- 1) stop lending photo gear (and I still am missing one lens- guy moved very far away)2) stop lending music (never comes back)3) stop lending gear (see ori... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made Mijostyn I’m just more foolish. I’ve also loaned out photo equipment with similar effect. I have some gear that would be worthy of pro use. I loaned pro flash gear to a person who was trying to break into the wedding photography business. Person ... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made Jim204It’s an original reproduction but I do have other honest to goodness hand made in a darkroom prints hanging up as well throughout my home. No one famous. Two of them are in my system photo. Just below and slightly left of Moonrise is a photo... | |
