So this project has hit a major road block. When I first acquired this table I had an issue with a battery pack not lasting very long. At first I thought it was an old battery pack, or one being in a discharged state for too long. I went through the provided packs but could not get one to charge. Si...

During morning coffee I decided to polish the top of the motor pod since I had morning light. I ended up getting a reflection in the finish of a reflection in the window pane behind the turntable. I am pretty pleased with the McGuires plastic polish. The black is dark and even, looks almost like a p...

Table delivered yesterday and I got it unboxed and verified everything is okie dokie. I need to figure out room on my cabinet as this arrangement is not a long term solution.

Let's bake it off against - for example £2250 NVA M600's. My prediction is that the NVA wiil sound better. What's your prediction? Fascinating. How ...

A few years ago I had one very good Class D amp here, from a company called H2O Audio. It used earlier generation B&O Ice modules for the power section, but had a massive linear power supply. Supposedly the H2O amp could drive Apogee Scintillia and those drop to a 1 ohm load. It sure was a beast...

I think if you hang around audio boards long enough you will see this play out over and over. People enter the hobby or join the board to gain information, to share their passion for the hobby, or maybe just sharing the joy of their new to them of their new discoveries. I think this feeling represen...

Yesterday afternoon the Wireworld package arrived, it had two of the starlight USB cables, and my tone arm cable for the Dynavector DV505. I unboxed the USB cables, and compared to my previous generation Silver Starlight 7 USB cables these are skinny, and frankly look cheap. I had my doubts, but the...
