A friend of mine, who just happens to be a distributor of this product, has loaned me an Incito Aries Cerat preamplifier. I've been listening to this in my system for a couple of weeks now and find it extremely good. Here's a write up on it and I pretty much agree with what it says about the...

Saw this and grabbed it.

I thought I'd post up about the great customer service I received from K&K Audio. I ordered their premium step up transformer and received it in two days. No muss, no fuss. Then, after a month of burn in with my new cartridge, I decided to try some resistors in the SUT, to better match the...

Ok, my Mac Mini is giving up the ghost. It has served well over the last six years or so, but now must be replaced, but with what? The newer generation Mac Mini? That would probably be the easiest thing to do. I'd just load my Amarra software on it, configure the startup and I-tunes and be...

Just a heads up to anyone who will be in Dallas this weekend, that the Lone Star Audio Fest will be held. Myself and three audio buds will have an audio setup in one of the rooms, so come on by for a visit. We will have a modest system going and will be listening to tunes and drinking and...

MotoGP tickets have arrived via FedEx! April can't come soon enough.

Even the little things in this hobby bring me happiness, like arrivals in the mail... Sneak peek... Full frontal... Graphite. Supposed to be great with a Jelco arm.

Man, I'm getting old! I can't see well enough through my trifocals anymore to see the cartridge alignment properly. Having a super thin ruby cantilever doesn't help, either! I am having a hard time getting it aligned and can't seem to get rid of some sibilance, so I ordered a USB microscope...

A friend of mine, Steve (sb6 on this forum), recently replaced his Usher mono-blocs with the Wells Audio Innamorata amplifier. I have listened to Steve's system many times and was absolutely gobsmacked at the improvement this amplifier made. I can think of nothing that this amp did that was...

Hope all are enjoying today!

This was my fifth time to make the trek to Denver for the RMAF. I heard some really great sounding rooms this year and was pleased to discover much gear I had never seen before. There were so many different software and hardware products for streaming and just enabling digital files to be...

Well, it's up and running. Still have some fine adjustments to do, but it is very listenable already! It was a beast to assemble, as the platter alone weighs 42 pounds. It took about one hour for the platter to settle down all the way onto the bearing. Currently using my old outer ring...

For those of you who own QB-9's and haven't done the latest update, take my advice and get 'er done. It really is a major change for the better. Really.:cool:

I thought I'd start a thread where people could post if they would enjoy having members over for a visit, when in their hometown. It would be nice to meet more members of this great site. I'll start. If you're ever in the Austin, Round Rock area, send me a PM if you'd like to come over for a...

A friend (sebrof) sent me this link. For you Tom Waits fans...you know who you are... http://tomwaitsmap.com/

Well, I just got on the waiting list to have my Ayre QB-9 updated with the new analog section and DSD capability. I have read a lot of reviews that say this is a killer upgrade to the QB-9's sound quality. I'm hopeful, as I have recently compared my QB-9 to a friend's Esoteric DAC and the...

I've just listened to two vinyl albums, one manufactured in Germany and the other in Japan. There are marked differences in the quality of these two albums. The German produced (Decca - Melody Gardot) has less than satisfactory sound, as there are many, though subdued, tics and some minor...
