    Artisan Fidelity joins as a sponsor!: and little bit of our history.

    Philippe, this snapshot was quickly taken when the loaner unit first arrived, during listening evaluation I placed the DAC on a separate thick Maple butcher block slab. About a week later, a set of Critical Mass Systems CS2M were placed underneath. Big improvement over stock feet.

    Philippe, I concur, the MPS-8 is a superb digital playback source, especially so considering the consolidated all-in-one design. I enjoyed listening to it while here on loan. One of these days, I'll find an MPD-8 and see what it can do. After studying the layout, it makes sense that the...

    Philippe, many warm thanks for all of the kind words, I truly appreciate it. On an unrelated side note, I noticed the Playback Designs MPS-8 listed on your system details, I just had the pleasure of borrowing one for several weeks and was certainly impressed. By chance have you had the...

    Favorite Rolex?

    Personally, I've always been fond of the Rolex stainless steel sports models, namely for their timeless and classic styling combined with robust every day wear-ability. Right now, my favorites are the Rolex Sea Dweller 43mm and Explorer II (Black dial) which happens to also look smashing when...

    Technics brings back the SP10

    While I cannot speak for everyone, I personally know of at least one manufacturer specializing in vintage based analog playback devices offering fully restored, serviced and upgraded Technics Sp10Mk3's with full warranty and after sale support. :rolleyes: Agreed, as would most of us faced...
