This is how you POST PHOTOS
@elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for posting these instructions! I was able to post a pic on one of the threads. But I noticed something, the pic that I uploaded into the Virtual Systems, now also shows up when you go to view all the virtual systems. ... 
seeking recommendations for melodic , ear pleasing, and musical sounding LP's?
Chantal Chamberlan - Temptation  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Had Springsteen's Letter to You on earlier.  
Warped LP's
Played through the whole album and as stated before, it seems ok, so I will keep it. But I almost tripped out when I got to side D or what I thought would be side D. At first, it didn't look right to me and I thought, oh no, this is defective al... 
What Tube Preamplifier Under $1800 to Choose?
I'm gonna throw the Vincent SA-32 into the mix.  I haven't heard it but if it's anything like (probably better) than my Vincent SV-500 Integrated than it might be something worth looking into.  
Vinyl vs Streaming
Lots of great comments/feedback here. It's very interesting to read everyone's perspective on this subject!  
Vinyl vs Streaming
On a slightly different point, I don't think I have heard or experienced a really high end Vinyl Rig so far. I can only comment on what I hear from what I have on my Rig and Yes, at times I really like what I hear but I don't have another rig to ... 
Vinyl vs Streaming
@sls883 Yea, that's what I am talking about. I'm afraid I might get to the point where I don't want to put in the effort and just use streaming more cuz it's so much more convenient. By the way, I am not dumping on vinyl in any way, hope my post ... 
Vinyl vs Streaming
Yea, I know that feeling. There are some tracks on LP's that make me realize, oh yea, this is why I am doing all this. But sometimes and maybe cuz I'm just being lazy or tired, streaming just lets me sit there for a couple of hours without any w... 
Purchased the Lab12 Phono PreAmp
@mark200mph I didn't know they created a power conditioner. I'll have to look into that. @audphile1 , Yea I need to try that down the line and maybe even in my Vincent.  
Purchased the Lab12 Phono PreAmp
Overall, I would say so. It just seems to provide better base response. It seems just a bit smoother and stronger and I think the Moon was just a more forward probably because it was SS and the Melto has some tubes in it. I just feel, at least ... 
Tube Phono Stage Recommendations
Hey, Well I guess this is the appropriate place to post this. Some of you might have seen my other thread regarding me damaging my SimAudio Moon phono stage, so now I had no choice but to get another phono stage. After much debating and looking... 
New phono stage arrived
@chipcalzone I got your message, thanks for the feedback. Looking into it!  
Well I did It! I managed to damage my phono pre-am (sigh)
@dover Hi, I know you can't say for sure because you don't have the equipment in front of you but are you saying that I probably should have used the white adapter, which the ifi did come with?  
Well I did It! I managed to damage my phono pre-am (sigh)
I know I goofed by not using the correct adapter. I still feel the Ifi LPS would have provided some benefit to the 110lp if only I had used it correctly. I am going to be sending my 110lp to SimAudio for eval to see if it be saved because I hate...
