Hello dgale. Unless you have some records that you can't listen to, I would not consider starting with vinyl now. You have a very good digital front end that, in my opinion, would be much better than a budget record player. Then you have to start buyiing records, which, if you buy new, are not...
Hello again skinnyfla. The Reiki is cheaper than the Taiko. I would at least try to compare the two. Reiki Audio is a UK company, so that may or may not be convenient to you. I think it is also quite a small enterprise at the moment, but you should be able to get a home trial.
Hello skinnyfla. If it is a switch you are looking for, I think the Reiki Audio switches are for one component only. They have a website, which you can find by typing Reiki Audio into your search engine (I don't post here very often, so don't know if I am allowed to put in a link). There are a...
Good luck with your new venture, Ron. I hope it is very successful. I don't really see that there is a problem if a dealer does product reviews as well. I doubt whether Ron will be the first, or last person to combine reviewing with another role in the hi-fi industry.

Thank you for a thorough and interesting write-up/ review, Luca. Good luck with the new Stealth Ultra cable. I hope you will continue to share your experiences. I tried a Muon Pro system in my set-up, but could not justify the cost, although the Muon certainly did not have any negative effects...
Hello @AudioGod. What is you partnering equipment, particularly the amplification? When I was auditioning for speakers last year. I heard, among others, Stenheim Alumine 3, and really enjoyed them. I think Stenheim Alumine 5 SE would just about be within your budget, and I think they are not too...
