Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this?
@tzh21y   You should contact the Lyra distributor, Alasdair at AudioQuest - Apatrick@audioquest.com.  He helped me with a similar Delos issue.  They sent it to Lyra Japan for a complete suspension rebuild at no cost.  Situations vary but it's wort... 
Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.
@erik_squires thank you! 
Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.
Hi all...this is a very timely thread.  I'm getting the DAC+ and would like to understand any small tweaks I can make that won't break the bank.Which specific Astron model are you using with the Brooklyn DAC?Does it come ready to "plug-n-play" or ... 
AT ART-9 vs Audio Note IQ3
The same thing happened to mine when ordered from LP Gear in NV. Must be poor QC in the AT factory when mounting the cartridge within the case.  I notified LP Gear who instructed me to try the cartridge which I did without any issues. 
Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
I'd agree with others that it's slightly tipped at the top end.  I owned a Delos for many years, admittedly loved it during this time but until I compared with other MC's, I had no idea that it was slightly etched.  I listened to Transfiguration a... 
Legacy Studio HD
I owned the Studio HD's, beautifully finished and very nice sound, great all-around performer.  Very easy to drive.  I eventually replaced them with Ryan R610's which in my system, did everything just slightly better. 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Hi all - I've read through this excellent thread and have a question.  Has anyone used the ART9 with a Linn tonearm, specifically an Ekos?  I apologize if this has been discussed but I did not see any references to using this cart with a Linn.Woul... 
Ortofon Cadenza Red
The Cadenza Red and 3D arm sound like it would be a great match.  VPI states the 3D arm was designed using the Quintet Black and VPI has praised most Ortofon cartridges.  If that's your budget, then yes! 
Rush 180g re-issue and sonics
I have most of the reissues and I really like them.  I can turn up the volume as they are recorded so well and they sound great at higher levels in my system.  I've compared to original MP "RL cut", Hemispheres "GK cut", Signals "Masterdisk" and P... 
Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?
I always thought Rega's philosophy for placing their turntables was on a light, rigid platform. That is also my experience having owned and sold Rega's through the years.By placing on a solid, heavy piece of granite, you may be sucking the life ou... 
Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.
I had a very negative experience with Green Mountain Audio. Yes, the founder and owner Roy is a very nice guy. But as a business owner some fundamentals were missing when I dealt with him. The process from start of my order to when the speakers we... 
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ??
You guys do realize VPI dropped Larry as a dealer? Check out his most recent ad for a Traveler if it's still active on the site. Larry added some comment in the listing, very professional but questioning their model. 
Rega TT-PSU drops right channel
@Sbrownnw - Thanks for the link, that is very interesting. I don't mean to deviate from the subject but can you provide your take on the Groovetracer RP6 subplatter? What changed and do you feel it was a worthwhile investment? 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
Green Mountain Audio Chroma speakers...just a bad experience during the sale and more so after receiving them with a damaged driver which I replaced. I sold them as fast as I could. 
On the hunt for best phono cable under $1k
As @Stevecham states without the need for ground wire any RCA should work but before you commit to an unshielded RCA IC, make sure you don't have a hum issue. From turntable to phono stage is where this issue may present itself and may necessitate...
