Another "kinda-newbie" head scratcher

Which model Sutherland and Parasound?

RB, I hope you and AI will live happily ever after, but what did I write that contradicts the bloviation of your favorite source? The difference between the two terms is mostly semantic, and I was describing how they are commonly used here in the US and in my internet readings or book readings.

Sutherland KC Vibe MKII

Darlington MP7B: 68V Discrete J-FET RIAA MM+LOMC Phono Preamplifier w/EQ Trim (+35 to +72dB)

Parasound Zphono XRM

I remember KC Vibe Mk2 or more specifically the cables connected to it reacted to EERO mesh node when it was close. Moving it away approximately 1m completely resolved the issue. Vibe is a good phono. And so is parasound. I would encourage you to try the Vibe again but move the wifi away from it. I would be surprised is Oarjs is better than Sutherland. Especially when you’re using toslink out of parks into DAC. That’s depriving you of a true analog experience. My $0.02

If it comes and goes, note whether the symptom correlates with your refrigerator compressor running or your furnace blower or AC or the like.
