| What's my ideal music server? Read and recommend please I changed from using the Ethernet input on an Ayre QX5/20 to USB from an in rack Wolf Audio Alpha SX3. This was a definite upgrade in sound quality. I would recommend the Alpha or their new slightly smaller Luna-R server. | |
| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? Bought a Degritter this year after using a VPI 16.5 for almost 10 years. I used 3 steps (enzyme, cleaner, ultra distilled water rinse each step with its own brush and vacuum wand) with the VPI and had very good results, but the time for each alb... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I replaced my Billy Bags rack with an Adona Eris 6DW - cherry trim. Very happy with its function and appearance. | |
| Coda 07X vs Backert Rhumba extreme vs VAC renaissance V Excellent choice. The VAC will have no issue with you amp’s impedance. I have the Renaissance V and it is an excellent piece driving my Ayre VX5. You can do some substituting of the 6922 tubes and enjoy different subtle changes, but VAC has voi... | |
| Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes I agree as the Gryphon Diablo 300 is my choice to acquire when I decide to replace the VAC/Ayre combination I currently use. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 I own the Spendor D9 and have listened to the D9.2 The new version has a little different crossover to address the originals tendency to be a little to “revealing” in the highs. I found this trait to actually being the original D9 able to reprodu... | |
| USB compatability Please do not misunderstand my statement... I am not saying it is your cable! I was using that as an example of how the lack of the proper communication will cause a failure. I don’t think the phones are capable of the correct communication to ... | |
| USB compatability I am no expert but I believe that the first step in the communication is sometimes referred to as a handshake. Just because the DAC can send its identifier to the phones does not mean the phones are capable of the reverse. Many DACs require a 5vo... | |

| Streamer's without built in DAC options? Wolf Audio - Luna or Luna “R”https://wolfaudiosystems.com/product/the-luna/ | |
| Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes Currently using the Ayre VX5/20 175 watts/channel into 8 ohms with my D9s with excellent results. The Ayre AX5/20 integrated should be on you list. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! @benjieTotally agree with you post. Without the setup tools I have acquired including my WallySkater, SmarTractor, and Fozgometer, I would not be near the setup precision that allow my tonearms and cartridges to perform at their peak. | |
| Acoustic panels: ATS vs GIK I have used ATS panels with the Guilford upgrade for many years. Well constructed and beautiful accent to the room. I have two corner bass traps, 4 - 2’ x 2’ x 2”, 4 - 2’ x 4’ x 2”, 2 - 2’ x 2’ x 4” panels in my 14’ x 16’ x 8’ dedicated room. I ... | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? Qobuz streamed through Roon on my new Wolf Alpha 3SX has brought digital to a new level in my system. I agree with Cleeds that it is not replacing my LPs either but there is a great audiophile experience available in streaming today. | |
| Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable The Ortofon Windfeld Ti was used at the Tampa Audio Expo last year paired with this TT setup and worked extremely well. |
