Hey now.
Just wondering what makes the Halide Bridge so different from other USB to SPDIF converters that are USB powered? All these "reviewers" and magazines review a bunch of different converters at one time, talk about how USB to SPDIF converters without a dedicated power supply are noisy...
I don't wanna spend more than $300
Vinyl is my go to source, so while digital is important and i want great sound, i dont need to spend as much as i did on my dac for the converter
Hey now.
I wanna get a usb to spdif converter for my SimAudio Moon DAC. The USB sounds nowhere near as good as the optical, but I need the optical for my PS4.
I am not looking for chifi Tera Link stuff. So far the Luxman for $300 from Music Direct and the M2Tech HI-Face 2 are the only two...
Hey now. Just wondering if anyone can think of a good cartridge to put on a Jelco SA370 tone arm. No more than $400 for the cartridge.
I haven't used this tone arm, but it seems nice. I am gonna need another tone arm and was thinking of getting the SA-250 st arm. Does it really matter if a tone...

Hey now.
You probably all dont know me. I am a chat room dweller. I am in there a good chunk everyday. I have a guy coming over today who has 30 Thorens and I am building him two basic plinths, one for a TD-125 and one for a TD-150. IN return I am getting a Jelco/LAD 370(i think thats the...
Hey now.
I was wondering if I should get a Grado Silver stylus for my FT+ cartridge, of if there is a special stylus I should use.
Is it even worth it to replace the styli or should I just get a new cartridge?
hey now.
The Yamaha AS700 and AS1000 are always in the back of mind. Eventhough I plan on getting two Dayton APA150 amps for dual mono and a preamp to along with it, the thought of the Yamaha AS700 and especially the AS1000 has always been something I have wanted.
I was wondering, how is...
Hey now.
I don't have time to do a search right now. I have a lot to do (build stuff for people, clean house and prepare for my step son's birthday party tonight).
I have a Macbook, hooked up to my tv because I cracked the screen. There are 4 loose ends I need to tie up so I can (try to)...
Nice restoration, but I agree with the company 100%. Most people DONT (not you obviously) know what they are doing. So someone does something wrong, gives SOTA a bad rep because of user error. When something is that "high end" you can't take that risk. I am a woodworker and come hell or high...
Hey now.
I have always used Grado. Along the way when I was short on funds I used Shure 97 or Black Pearl from Sumiko. I am getting ready to get a new turntable cartridge and was wondering if I should stick with Grado Silver or spend a little more and get a Soundsmith Otello.
I am also...
audio nirvana full range i can say covers everything you need. i listened to them for every style of music, the only thing is if you listen to death metal you need a sub otherwise it plays everything from nine inch nails to gorecki to rosemary clooney SUPERBLY.

hey now.
i got a luxman sq707. i read on a website that is dedicated to vintage luxman this:
"You can modify this amp, to get better results.
Replace broken power transistors with TO-66 transistors 2SC1445 and PNP 2SA765 (Sanken) instead
of 2SA616 and 2SD155 (NEC), or use plastic...
id be really interested in how they sound compared to AN super 3. im not gonna lie im straight up an audio nirvana guy but im slowly coming around on mark audio.
i cant imagine mark audio handling nine inch nails or dying fetus or old school hardcore music like sick of it all. such a...
you would probably have to go to the chinesse website and google translate to "engwish". i read that project's dac's give you the option to either purchase a filtered or filterless dac.
i cant call myself a "purist" because i dont have enough knowledge about this stuff to claim that, but i...
hey now.

i know nothing about power supply's. i dont even know much about all this technical switching mumbo jumbo. but i do know that the musical fidelity v stuff is amazing. i use...
