Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?

Psychicanimal: I forgot: the Rockport Sirius, too ( direct drive TT ).

Raul, I don't care what you think--no offense (perdona sa'e).

Psychicanimal: Sure you don't care. But if you want to improve your life you have to learn to learn, if not stay where you are: nowhere.
Tks and enjoy the music.

Raoul, just because *you* do not understand what I'm stating does not mean that it doesn't make sense. You don't even know where Dan Wright placed the Black Gate capacitors in my transport and you spin off with a stupid comment that only makes you look like an ignorant smart ass.

Your 'contribution' has no place in this thread. If you had a little common sense you would stop at the comment that someone with a $10K Nottingham Anna Log TT has kept it in the box because his digital rig is sounding soo good. That's the same person who told me I needed to get into belt drive transports and sent me the link of the classified that advertised the unit I currently own. Knowing this person has owned expensive TTs (both belt & DD) I followed his advice.

I suggest you follow your own 'advice' on "learning to learn" and find out how these people with higher belt drive transports get great music ( that's how I learned ). I'll tell you that my modded transport is plugged to a Clear Image T4 filter via an AudioPrism Super Natural 9.5 power cord. The T4's construction quality makes the BPT filters look like toys. The T4 shares the outlet with an Audio Power parallel filter. The T4 is fed via a 220V/110V ONEAC CB 2338 isolation transformer/filter (30 amp, 220V dedicated line, BTW). The T4 is supported by a set of Goldmund Cones which pierce a board of non resonant, Caribbean Moca wood, with an 18" x 18" rubber/cork/rubber slab under on an IKEA Lack table. Oh, my transport is also supported by Goldmund Cones with Moca wood and an 18" x 18" rubber/cork/rubber slab. The digital cable is a 1.5 m VenHaus Pulsar that Sean cooked for a full 30 days on two different cable cookers (one a modded Mobie, one mimicking a digital signal) @ 1 week alternate cycles. My modded 1200 sits on a similar layout, but with a Dennensen Air Suspension and a massive granite slab over the air pistons. This is WAY out of your league, Raoul.

Psychic,

Is your friend going to keep his TT? Just curious.
