    Re: Hello from Colorado (and Avanti Audio cables)

    Hey Mike. Nice to see your digital face again after I departed that other place. I'm not around any forums much, at all, anymore but when the urge strikes I really like this place. I think you will,...

    Re: Gues what I just got ? Lenco L70

    Thank you. It's displaced my VPI Classic/Shelter 501 combo for a week so far, so it's got promise. Not that I'm ditching the Classic. The Zyx Yatra is a great match for the Lenco/Linn Basic+.

    Re: Stillpoints E-Loops

    I should give these another try. I've had a pair on loan and didn't really hear a difference. I should try them on something that has RF interference perhaps? That is an issue on my tube gear in this...

    Re: Gues what I just got ? Lenco L70

    It really is fantastic. Next up is my TD-124. I have to say, listening to this table for 5 minutes answers more questions than reading 100 online arguments about whether or not the idler-craze has...

    Re: Gues what I just got ? Lenco L70

    Did you ever get this table running? I finally tackled mine a few days ago. Slapped a Linn Basik Plus arm on it that I had laying around. The Lenco guys seem to like the stock arm, I thought it was...

    Re: I never thought this would happen.............

    My other speakers (to the SHL-5) are Quad ESL-63 pros. They're very similar in the midrange to the sHL-5. A compliment to both speakers as I consider it to be as close to flawless as I've heard. Not...

    Re: I never thought this would happen.............

    I look forward to it as well...it's a combo that I've considered for a long time, as I've pondered finding a tube amp that'll make my SHL-5s happy. Right now they're one a T+A a1530r, and it is a...

    Re: What happened to AudioKarma?

    I would think they'd have enough money for a functional site with their number or subscribers and potential ad revenue but regardless, I'm glad I'm not saddled with keeping it afloat.

    Re: Where do you invest more money ???

    I would invest:

    $2000 table. Perhaps Well Tempered Simplex. I have a VPI Classic. Its ok. I wish I would have bought a Well Tempered Amadeus...in my opinion it just sounds better than my Classic,...

    Re: DAC Upgrade.

    I really love my NAD M51. I've listened to the Mytek and liked it a lot, the Marantz NS-11 and didn't like it, and my go-to DAC in my other system is still the Berkeley Alpha with April Music Stello...

    Nice! I have one just like that under the Bogen/Presto badge, and another B/P with a different paint scheme. There's plinths on the bay, you say? I need another. I have one for one of mine but need...

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    If I had given Rob the dimensions of the hole in my console, that plinth wouldn't have fit any better.

    It was an interesting case at the place we're referring to. In that there seemed to be the opposite attitude of a lot of places. As in, you were only allowed to spend a certain amount without getting...

    I had a bit of this same feeling with my little, humble, used, DB-systems DB-8. While more money than the ART (which I have not heard) it's still relatively humble in the world of phono stages. It...
