The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening
@unreceivedogma  You’ve captured the essence of vinyl listening as more than just a format preference but as a mindful, almost spiritual practice. No doubt, Vinyl playback elevates the experience beyond nostalgia, framing it as a deliberate act o...

@mitch2  I agree, having multiple DACs allows for comparing different voicing and synergy with various components, the same logic applies to turntables or any other component in an audio system.  But hear me out…having own couple of turntables, ...

“If anyone can explain why one might intentionally have two turntables, I’m curious.” @hilde45 There are actually several and sometimes indulgent reasons why someone might intentionally have two turntables, - Mono vs Stereo playback - One turn...

If I would’ve not gone the classic Garrard 301 route, I would have definitely picked-up TW-Acustic Raven GT2 with 10.5 tonearm. It offers amazing performance for the money! My other favorite, SME 15 MK2. The design bit dated now but it remains on...

Similar experience…Pennie’s on the dollar offer when I approached them to buy one of my gear. The delta was $6K between what they offer and I was able to sell on my own. They may be good for snatching a one off deal but at the end of the day, it’s...

@fastricky As @jfrmusic pointed out, threaded bolt is fixed. However, you can order combination of long + standard spikes to pivot your speakers (assuming you have carpeted flooring). That’s what I did with my Tannoy’s.

Since you’re in Canada, list them at Canuck Audio Mart with pictures. They should generate some interest.   
The Wizard of Vinyl Is in Kansas
“Chad’s attention to detail, his fanaticisms, are over the top — and his stuff sounds phenomenal”. This pretty much sums up nicely what he does on day to day basis. I own many Acoustic Sounds reissues and every one of them sounds far better than ... 
Check This Out!
@grannyring That’s an interesting shift in your setup. It sounds like the Innuos Pulsar changed how your network components interact, making some of the previous tweaks less necessary. And, to your preference Paul Pang cables appears to have a n...
