How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?
I have an SP10 MK II with the Obsidian plinth. I am using a Basis Vector arm with a Soundsmith Zyphyr MIMC. My audio room is on the second floor so I have always mounted my turntables on the large Target  TTW1 wall mount rack. I replaced the cheap... 
Lumin A-1 or Lumin U1
I will third the opinion on the A1. It is fantastic. It was recommended to me by a group of diehard analog guys (Walker tables and the like)...Said it was the first digital that made them forget about it being digital.    I have also found a great... 
Is anyone familiar with the process to bias the TRL Dude Preamp
Sorry for the slow response. I have been on travel. Thanks RX8MAN for the procedure.  Bill, I may still call you to talk through this. Mine has the 1inch face plate. I think it was built in 2010. 
Audio Magic Pulse Gen products
I am wondering if anyone has tried a Pulse Gen module inside a surround sound processor. I have an Integra DHC 80.3 and was thinking it might be helpful there. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw Jamie Cullum on Tuesday night this week at the 930 Club in DC. It is a small venue(1200 people) and a standing room club. WOW...This was perhaps the best concert I have been to in quite some time. Jamie is so talented as is his other 4 band ...

Grannyring, I had Paul make a power cord for the Dude. I have not done that yet with the Samsons, but I do plan to.

An update on this old thread. I acquired a pair of TRL Samson amps about 5 months ago. I am loving the combination of the DUDE and SAMSONs. They do make music. I first hds the Samsons just sitting on the floor as I did not have two more amp stands...

So I spent some time this past weekend listening to the Dude-Burson-Viva combo. While I cannot assess the impact of the inserting the Burson AB160 since the Dude is incompatible when it is directly attached to the Vivas. What I did determine was t...

It is difficult to tell if the Burson is adding any coloration since I cannot just take it out of the chain . I am comparing it to the Air Tight / Mc402 combo

So after reading Chris Martens review on AVGUIDE of the Burson AB-160 buffer, I decided to give it a try. It definitely solved my problem with both the Vivas and McIntosh MC-402 working with the Dude. I just put it in the system this morning. It d...

Just a quick update. I did get to borrow an Aesthetix Atlas amp for demo from a local dealer. It has a 450K input impedance. It was a very high performing combo...Clearly better than my Air Tight ATC-2/MC402 combo. Comparing to the Air Tight/Viva ... 
In Search of a Passive Subwoofer Amplifier
I throw in a vote for the Crown XTI series of pro amps. It has a built in DSP that let you configure all kinds or parameters via software on your laptop...such as crossover frequency, crossover slope, notch filters, gain, delay, etc...Very flexibl...

I got to spend some quality time with my Air Tight/Viva combo spinning vinyl this past Christmas weekend (Technics SP10-MKII/Basis Vector/Denon DL301 thru Tom Tutay tube phono). This combo just makes music and mostly lets me forget about the hardw...

Agear...yes I am Norwegian...I find myself not consistent in what amplifier I prefer with my current setup (viva and mc402). I find that sometimes the type of music and more so my mood has an impact on what I prefer. If I am in a rock-out kind of ...
