| Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck For the money, the Ultradeck at the lowered price is a much better deal. The Ultradeck iDelrin platter seems to be superior to Rega’s platter material, and the HRS feet are superior as well. | |
| Turntable advice I got the VPI Avenger rim drive so I could use multiple arms. I later upgraded my VPI arms to Schroeder CB-L (VDH GC cart), Schlick (SPUs), 4point (all other carts incl mono). VPI is a long established company, and with the son Matt running it ... | |

Keeping the streamer separate from the DAC may be beneficial for future upgrades, but there are some good streamer+DACs. I started with separate streamer and DAC, but upgraded to the s... | |
| Opinions on NAD please Great thread - I was curious about NAD as well. | |
| Finally got a Luxman Congrats! Enjoy. | |

| AXPONA 2024 @classicalreflections I suggest reaching out to the exhibitors to ask via phone or email. | |
| Aesthetix Mimas vs Hegel H590 Int's Hegel vs Aesthetics vs Gryphon is a personal sonic choice. The Hegel mates well to Harbeth speakers. The optional DAC is good, but much improved in the H600. If I had an extra room that needed a system, I’d likely get this combo. Aesthetix is a ... | |
