| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? One of my phono stages is the same ARC PH-3SE as you have. I have used this with at least a dozen different tables and arms and have never had a hum problem.You are absolutely right that a "shielded" cable/wire should have a much better resistance... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Kenny,Please keep us posted as soon as you get a grasp on the Welborne Power Supply. I have a Squeezebox Duet and have been thinking about this PS. I have read that it really only affects the analog section and I am not using the analog outs, just... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 I want to add another one to my list above:Lucero-"Women and Work"I've listened to this new CD quite a few times now, and I like it even more each time I hear it. I really didn't like Lucreo's first few albums, but this one is killer. Hard drivin'... | |
| FWIW... Neko Case fans vinyl I have both versions also. While, I wouldn't quite go so far as to say it's "a huge leap forward", I do find the clear version to have less surface noise and IMHO, this leads to a greater sense of dynamics.It's an excellent record and is better on... | |
| VPI Traveller The arm on the new Traveler table is completely different from any other VPI arm. All of the VPI arms to date have been unipivot designs. The Traveler arm is a gimballed bearing design. The cartridges that worked on the unipivots "might" not work ... | |
| interesting phenomena in the cutting room Ralph...Is the plan to actually start pressing vinyl from this lathe or was it just for fun?I agree with Albert, that with your amps, could be a killer cutting system. Will we ever get to hear anything from it??? | |

| DAC use for "high resolution" computer sources-MOG You could try the Schiit BiFrost. I've heard really good things about this DAC. I haven't heard one, but the reviews are good. It sells for $349. | |
| Best way to purchase/download music? Kenny...have you downloaded the same title in 24/96 AND 24/192? I have (4) different albums on each and with all of them, I found the 24/96 to sound as good if not better than the 24/192 versions? There is a paper or review or whatever floating ar... | |
| ARC preamp line up Actually the SP14 has only (1) tube. It's a very nice unit also, but over your budget by a little. Also, the SP7 was the solid state replacement for the SP5. The LS9, LS10 and LS12 were solid state line stages. I was an ARC dealer for many years. | |
| Best way to purchase/download music? HDTracks. | |
| ARC preamp line up Still one of my favorite ARC preamps is the SP9MKII, (or MKIII). These use (2) tubes and have an excellent phono stage. | |

| Meldhau, Raitt I agree that the new Bonnie Raitt is excellent. It actually sounds like the old Bonnie Raitt. Haven't heard the other one mentioned. |
