HE Eliptical
Thanks again. I went ahead and told him to do the HE.

It's only $50 more. I Know it's not the most adjustable arm and I have no idea when I might upgrade. I have always enjoyed the table and really was not planning on replacing it anytime soon. But that doesn't mean that if in opportunity comes up I ...

Ok so let me as you this. The cart is a sumiko blue point special evo III. It will likely be going on a thorens td160 with the original TP16 tonearm. Would it be worth it to go for the HE elliptical with this setup or would the tonearm prevent me ...

Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know. What should I be aware as far as being more careful during setup? Anything more than making sure my alignment and VTF are correct? 
What is the missing element?
Ok so this is interesting. My v-link that I had been using just up and died on me. So for the time being, I just plugged the dac directly into the usb port and to my surprise, in some ways it actually sounds better. Overall the sound is smaller an... 
What is the missing element?
Well speak of the devil. I think my v-link just died on me. One second it was working fine and then the sound just disappeared. If I plug the dac directly into the computer through the usb I have sound. I think it new I was talking bad about it.

Steve, you have been absolutely awesome. I genuinely wish I could afford your products but they are just out of my price range. I will definitely keep them in mind for down the road though. 
What is the missing element?
Thanks audioengr. I will certainly look into your advice. As to the whole usb s/pdif argument, I don't deny that as an output, s/pdif has some definite advantages over straight usb and I admit that I possess only the most basic understanding of ho... 
What is the missing element?
I'm certainly open to it if it will give better performance. I can't seem to find any jitter measurements on it though and see several reviews of it's s/pdif output being bested by usb converters such as the audiophilleo. 
What is the missing element?
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look into upgrading my usb converter first. I've played around with comparing wav and flac but at this point I can't hear any difference. Who knows, that may change once I get the jitter under control. 
What is the missing element?
I forgot to mention, I am using flac files through Jriver in wasapi mode. 
What is the missing element?
I've read that the v-link 192 is much much better than the first generation in terms of Jitter measurements. One review shows it to be anywhere from 20ps to 160ps. Still way ahead of the nearly 400ps of the v-link I. I have read several sources th... 
Ready to upgrade from the Jolida JD1501
I have no doubts that the the rouge could deliver on performance but I'm more concerned with burning through the tubes more quickly with excessive movie watching or game play on top of actually listening to music. 
Ready to upgrade from the Jolida JD1501
@Finsup Maybe I am just hearing the speakers limitations. I suspected the amplifier because a common complaint or critique of the JD1501 is that its quite musical but not very revealing. After seeing that stated several places, I began to suspect ... 
LS50s and room size
I had/have the Vandersteen 1Bs. Not sure how they compare to the 1Cs but between the KEFs, the difference is night and day. In just about every way, the KEFs are a vast improvement. I was specifically referring to the bass when I mentioned the van...
