Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!
I just checked out their website, the Buchardt seems like a good option for folks who are not in a position to fully treat their room acoustically, as they clearly explain. And in my experience, a lot less expensive :) Enjoy!  
New Grandinote Mach 9 Loudspeakers: Holy Grail ?!
Your holy grail may be nothing like anyone else's, but enjoy the heck out of it if you found it.  
Break In Failed
Over thinking it like so often on audiophile sites. Just enjoy the music.

Power conditions for Integrated Amps
This is true with everything we own in audio. What may sound just right in somebody's listening space could sound horribly wrong in another. That's why most of the advice on any audiophile must be taken with a grain of salt. I feel like I have bee... 
Power conditions for Integrated Amps
Now using the Black Lion Audio PG-2. Not for conditionning since the listening room has its own dedicated electrical feed and sounds dead quite from the wall. Instead using it for convenience, it has 14 outlets on it, using 11 of them including am... 
Digital is far better than vinyl
Total troll, not worth my time.  
How crucial is the quality of a digital cable?
@motown-l  I will give you two examples: - On streamer to DAC I replaced a DH LABS SILVERSONIC  USB cable with a CURIOUS USB cable. Big difference, so much more musical, less harshness, smooth to the ears yet plenty detailed. - latest switch, f... 
Cartridges
I can appreciate the importance of an arm and it has been very well explained by a few here. But thing is, if I had not fallen so much in love with streaming, I would probably consider it. But that ship has sailed. Even with over 2,000 vinyl, my a...

Didn't mean to show arrogance, sorry for those offended. I see many posts of folks who don't even attempt to install a cart on a uni pivot and have to get a "professional" to do it for them and charge them multiple hours labor to do so. That's wha... 
Ethernet cables
I use Belden ethernet cable cleaned up via an optical system. I can't imagine a more expensive ethernet cable being better since it comes out cleaned after the optical wash.  
Cartridges
@OP,  the folks who put down the uni pivot is because it is too difficult for their level of mechanical knowledge to adjust it properly. I change carts back and forth often enough that I can get to fully satisfying results in an hour every time, a... 
Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender
An extender is all I need since all I am trying to do is get the best reception in one location only, my listening room. No need to mess around with a mesh network in my case.  
Lyra Kleos arrives after eight months. . Worth the wait? First impressions
I have a VPI Classic 1 with the uni pivot. For what it's worth the Kleos likes a perfectly parallel VTA to the record surface. It also likes 475 ohms best on the phono stage. To my ears anyway and it follows Kleos recommendations.  
Lyra Kleos arrives after eight months. . Worth the wait? First impressions
I have the Kleos, love it for acoustic music, female vocals and classical. Not so much for anything requiring punch, like electronic music, prog rock, hard rock or even funky jazz like the Crusaders. Since those types of music are my favorites, I ...
