Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021?
Doesn't the TEAC NT-505 use software written by LUMIN? 
Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas?
Somebody told me to play a new record once before cleaning. The stylus will loosen up some ground in debris. However, one would think that cleaning also helps protect your stylus.The defroster is on my list for 2021 
THIS GUY TAKES VINYL TO ANOTHER LEVEL!
Fremer, to my ears, Is the most upfront out of all the reviewers. He is not shy in saying this or that version is not so good. Even among high priced audiophile lps. Michael has probably heard every version of every major album. You will learn qui... 
Phono stage and Cartridge for Technics 1210 GR
Dukeassassin,I believe the Parks Phono pre uses dsp and converts the signal to digital before output (please correct if I am wrong). What's the point of vinyl if you convert it to digital for processing then back to analog for output. Just my take... 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Audiomerk, I would not put any more money in trying to get the PL to fit your sound desire. Just unload it. Thru the years I have learned, If one cannot dial in an audio component to satisfying sound quickly (maybe change the first set of tubes), ... 
Phono stage and Cartridge for Technics 1210 GR
I have the ELAC PPA-2 ($999) hooked to my GR and could not be happier. Michael Fremer gave the ELAC a favorable review. Currently, I am using a KAB 40th anniversary Ortofon Concorde with the OM 40 stylus. Basically, the combo makes it a Concorde v... 
I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ...
McIntosh could pull it off. I could see a Mac tower speaker with a built in, specially designed amp. Complete with a blue meter below the woofer somewhere. That would get people's attention at lease 
Tekton Electron SE
Has anyone owned both ZU and Tekton? I have had my Omen refs for going on 8 years and I simply love them. Just curious if both brands share similar sound characteristics 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
At the end of the day...2.5 watts is still 2.5 watts 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Cincy is pretty much closed up with the pandemic. I’m working from home and not going much of anywhere. At least it affords me time to research and dream about the new system I’m planning to get. Of course I’ve been in love with a different shiny ... 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Cincyhound....I thought Popiel founded Ronco...I could be wrong. The pocket fisherman was a hit with some. My buddy, who was into fishing,  tells a story when him and another buddy were teenagers. They drove to a local lake and my buddy had a big ... 
Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings?
I only have two MM cartridges. I'm not certain going MC would give me any sonic benefit unless I go quite a bit higher in price range than my MM's. I thought of trying a standard Denon 103 just to see what I hear. 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
You’re in luck OP. Hot off the press. Good luck. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2020/12/05/the-best-integrated-amplifiers-buyers-guide-2021/The Pass and Rossi would be my choice if $$ were not an issue. Those pieces are beautiful to look at. I kno... 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Quicksilver audio and Decware are two manufacturers I considered when amp shopping. I have efficient speakers, so wattage was not that big of a factor. I ended up with the First Watt J2 and could not be happier.  
PS Audio BHK versus Benchmark
Here's the kicker. The BHK may a hard sell due to the fact so many people got HUGE discounts before PSA went direct. The last I checked, quite a few for sale and I'm not certain they are actually selling for the cheaper used prices. I believe that...
