Just picked up a BPT 3.5 Sig Plus so I will see. Getting some Sistrum Apprentice platforms for the Def4s. Nice Christmas! 
Advice - What turntable should I buy ???
Sounds like you have a pretty good digital front end. Keep in mind in essence you're competing with it for your musical pleasure and it will take a pretty good vinyl rig to do that. While it's a great idea to get into vinyl, I feel it's not realis... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Any of you guys use any clamping with the resomat?

Charlesdad, since you use the Equi-tech for your whole system, would you mind helping me make a decision. My amps are between my speakers, with the front end quite a distance away. I've considered balanced power for the front end, leaving the amps... 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Charles, BTW your posts on this forum are very well thought out and informative. Jim is in N Atlanta. But boy does he travel and he really gives it his all when setting up a room. He's a little OCD which in his line of work is a pretty good thing.... 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Just went through the same process and yes, high efficiency speakers solve a lot of problems, including amplifier choices. The differences in sound pressure level with the same power is remarkable and makes the amp selection less restrictive.You h... 
Audience Adept Mod
Does one get the good value using this PC on the front end only? My amps are across the room. 
Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...
A little late to the party here but nevertheless ready to chime in. First of all, hello tms. Hope you got the speakers pumping.Now, I'm a good reference because I had never set up a turntable and picked this on tms' suggestion. As above, yes Vic i...

Good thoughts on the floor gap. I've been thinking I may go with the Sistrum Apprentice Platforms. For the last few weeks been cleaning vinyl.About the bass and crossover points, the program material has such variation, particularly in bass conten... 
Looking for some ideas
There is a VAC 160i up on Audiogon today. It's at $6000 but while I don't have one I have heard one. And it blew me away. At half price and almost new it would most likely be the piece that you were thankful you found for a long long time. If I ha... 
Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice
JMO but high efficiency speakers and SET is the most musical. Can't say I blame you going with digital front end but make it killer or everything will start to have a sameness to it that becomes boring. Careful with too dead of a room, and make it... 
Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ?
I went over to Jim's place last winter. He's not too far away and I had read the book. The book is about as comprehensive and informative as one could imagine. Having recently put together a new system it has been the reference by which I am attem... 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Call Jim Smith. He's a firm believer in double subs and probably the expert on placement. At least after his Room Play session you will know everything is optimal. 
Green and Clapton
Got copies of Seven Stars and End of the Game. Some good work for sure. Different but great listens. Washed them in the ultrasonic last week. 
Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player?
I have a large vinyl collection, to me at least. About a thousand. CD's around 500.The vinyl sounds better with more variance between recordings. Almost gave up on it though.That said, It would be a reach to say it would be worth it to put togethe...
