Japanese Pressings
Music recorded by US label/artistes sound better on vinyl pressings manufactured in the label/artistes' home country/continent - most people agree. What about doing the reverse?

the clear plastic wrappings we place our vinyl records into can accumulate electric static charge. they can audibly affect sound of audio components nearby, although i have heard it, i have not tried experimenting enough to be able to describe the characteristics of their influence more in...- jeromelang

What has stopped me buying the 1200G are: (1) No local distributor in Singapore (2) Too many metallic parts - platter and plinth Are there any differences between the motor of the 1200G and the normal 1200? What is/are the weak point(s) of the 1200G tonearm?- jeromelang

people make the mistake of thinking magnetic field interference only happens with proximity to ferrous metal. if you study the physics of eddy currents, you will know that the loops of current induced by changing magnetic fields nearby can happen within any conductive materials - including...- jeromelang

Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......
This is really the best time to test the theory - "less metallic parts, better, more opened, more natural sound" while you taking apart the whole system to set up the massif rack in its place, try using only 1 playback source driving the amps at this stage. use either the digital (preferably a...- jeromelang

Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......
the massif don't appear to do anything towards the elimination of vibration, and yet, by espousing metallic materials in their make up, they help the system attain a level of openness, musical ease and naturalness previously not achieved by support structures heavily laden with eddy-current...- jeromelang

You can check the thread on EMM LABS DA2 where users posted their experiences regarding ST Optical cables connect with the NS1 streamer. One think about the PLINK interface - it will tremendously matter which direction the cable is connected, and it will be necessary to clean both ferrule tips... -
He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable
My understanding is the Washington Post is anti-audiophile. Fremer had run-in at least once earlier on about their whimsical dismissals on vinyl, and then there was that mofi digitisation crappie of their vinyl releases, and now this. WA always seems to focus on the worst dregs of listening to...- jeromelang

MPD-8 Playback Designs - What did you own before and what did you compare with?
Those people who made the scd-1 really screwed up big time over a few things: (1) they know nuts about optimising the analogue output stages. The resultant sound could have been much much better. (2) they could have implemented true balanced audio all the way from the decoder chips to the... -
Which turntable do you prefer and why?
I would welcome more of such similar videos in the future, if the music playback recording is taken from an ADC off the phono stage output, and then inserted into the video through some editing process. The room effects would've been minimised(or eradicated), so what viewers hear will just be...- jeromelang

Can songs with bad sound quality damage speakers ?
If I play the Densen DeMag disc more than 5 times consecutively (moderately low level) my system will sound like they were taken straight out of their boxes first time - totally un-run-in. Takes a day or two of playing normal music to restore the system back to the run-in state. Certain sound...- jeromelang

Who Are Your Favorite DAC Designers?
Sorry to bust your bubble. The TX2 does respond to polarity change commands, even if there is no status indicator. There is clear audible change in imaging outline and dynamic slam factor after each polarity change command from the remote control. What's more, the polarity status remains even...
