Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A...

Opinions MSB Tech Platinum Transport dac Combo.
I did not do any comparison directly. As said, I know the sound from my system clearly as I put a lot of times for my analog system. Having four arms in my system, few phonostages, and coming to a dozen of cartridges allow me to know what individu... 
Opinions MSB Tech Platinum Transport dac Combo.
I have had some experiences with MSB PlatinumII DAC. I do not know the rest of the MSB products. My listening is actually more prone to Lps. I always find setting up turntable, arm, cartridge alignment, and all the tweaks with respect to these set...

Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
I own the Koetsu Coral for two years. Noted its high frequencies extension compared to Urushi, another cartridge from Koetsu which I like and have been using it with Graham 2.2 tonearm. For my case, I found it to be critical for tonearm's effectiv... 
Reference level playback
"""But if a record is so far off from other LPs in terms of dynamics, noise levels, sonic qualities, frequency range etc.. Its a bad recording, why listen to it? If your system or room is colored/saturated every LP will be colored or saturated."" ... 
Reference level playback

Review: Miyabi 47 Labs MC Cartridge Cartridge

Tracking Force Gauges
Aoliviero -- I experience the same with the 95 gauge and I usually tare it by holding the cartridge to the nearest point before the stylus touches the surface. This, hopefully, helps to eliminate any magnetic attraction, if there is any, and hence... 
Kharma CRM 3.2F vs. Avalon Eidolon and Diamond
I own Eidolon for almost nine years since it was introduced to the market. It is highly sensitive to placement and room accoustic. I remembered, for once, changing my backdrop curtain - a slight more thicker fabric, and the sound got suck up so se...
