Turntable Isolation Journey
Hey Folks, Hopefully within the next two weeks I will have my TechDas III Premium S.  Note the S as that denotes the newer isolation feet.  Initially it will sit a bit behind but within two feet of my right speaker.  It will be on an inexpensive ... 
Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp?
“beef” should have been “been”.  
Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp?
In his PH-1000 review Fremer did try at least one alternate curve and said it did sound better on the test LP.  Not saying he is wrong about the RIAA curve adoption,  but relying on older folks memories is dangerous.  Not to mention folks that may... 
Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp?
"Titles that read "Best" anything? categorically get skipped by me. " And I.  Since I have one one the way, I will watch the OPs. Y'all hang in there, Robert  
New phono stage from SOTA
I’m with Raul on this one.  To think we can measure everything the ear/brain system can perceive is Human arrogance.  It was recently discovered that the brain responds to signals above what we can think we can detect. Some of you probably know t... 
Magico vs the world
Thanks for the comments on the A5. Would someone like to comment on fullness?  Hear the resonance of the piano and drums? Robert

Lyra Etna Lambda SL tracking force
I too would be interested in the answer to this as I have an Etna Lambda SL that has probably less than 100 hours.  It’s also on an Ekos SE as has the OP. Please be safe, Robert  
JC3+ Anyone?
Hey Folks, Anybody heard or seen anything about an update to the JC3+ ?  It's time for adjustable gain and maybe some other updates. Thanks, Robert  
TechDas III Premium vs Premium S
One can order either.  I ordered the S, but I am wondering if anybody has actually heard a difference. Take it EZ, Robert  
Rossini Internet Radio
Was looking for details as to what is offered stationwise.  I will pick mine up in a few hours so I will find out.   Thanks, Robert  
Settings for New Vivaldi Apex Dac
You may want to read Stereophile’s review of the Rossini Apex.   I think there is some guidance there.   As you may know,  the Rossini & the Vivaldi are similar.  In fact when I asked DCS about the differences they were not forthcoming.  So I ... 
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
I have a Kenwood 600T and even though it needs aligning I really like it.Robert
