    RIP Dicky Betts

    RIP one of the greatest slides ever to run glass down strings. May he be free, peaceful and find joy…. I had the great fortune to see him play a few times. What a legend! Been spinning lots all day in fare-thee-well….

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    I was at the record store yesterday and listening to the Mofi point source speakers, which were cool (my buddy is looking into them), and checking out all these vintage TTs as well. Anyway, the boss did an experiment with a heavy record weight (Thorens) vs a tiny one with some special gibberish...

    Lampizator VP4 Silver: Can vinyl get to the level of digital and if so at what cost?

    Okay, this thread has a cheeky title based on the other long thread that heads in the other direction, but it is my truth. I started in digital audio and was digital exclusive for ten years. I got my system sounding pretty epic with lots and lots of work. I decided to give vinyl a try around six...

    Shunyata Interconnects

    This will come as no surprise to many here. I recently moved my Horizon to a new, higher shelf to make room for my new turntable. This is my first foray into analogue and am loving it so far, but that is another story…. I shoot directly out of the Horizon dac into my mono amps. After moving the...

    12AX7/ECC83

    Any advice on these for my amps? They are tube in/SS out mono amps. They came with AVM branded JJ-produced tubes. Not looking to warm things up. Just want to see what rolling does. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Ansuz Sortz

    The local Borrensen/Aavik/Ansuz dealer was offering 30 day trial of all products. I got the Ansuz Sortz Supreme (the middle of 3 grades) for a trial. I put it into an RCA out of my dac… Wowza!
