Looking for SACD player
Someone mentioned the Onix Zenith. It sounds ok but does not do gapless. Deal breaker for me.  
Plans for my VPI Prime Scout
Same turntable. I spoke to someone that upgraded to the fatboy. He thought it was good but not worth the money. I installed the HW-40 feet, I'll say the same about those. I have the Blue. Worth it if you like the slightly warmer sound with grea... 
AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts?
Can't speak to vinyls. But I keep my records at room temp. Improves the taste.  
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
Yes. Trust me or call Spatial.  
Amp For Sopras
We don't need to be talking Mac here. Or Accuphase.  
Amp For Sopras
@vthokie83  Thinking hard of going with the #8. A little research tells me it might be better on the top end with the Sopra. I’m going to get in touch with him. I almost pulled the trigger on the Motherlode XL. Going back and forth with Aric las... 
Amp For Sopras
Thanks all. To my knowledge and based on reviews the Hegels are reported as bright. Even dealers have told me that. Talked to a Coda dealer today. I’ve heard the AtmaSphere class Ds at the NY audio show. Nice but not sure I’m ready to go D. I’v...

I've been looking at Coda for a while. The Michi at 132 lbs is not a contender.

@zlone  @hk_fan  Thanks. Which Coda? What makes these amps a good fit?

@jasonbourne71  I guess we have different ideas about what qualifies as good sound. And no explanation of how that addresses the issue. But thanks.  
Seeking to upgrade from my Prime Scout turntable
I have a Scout and can also vouch for the Counterintuitive. I also put a dab of damping grease between the arm and counterweight and it’s much less prone to movement, adds a bit of resistance to overadjusting, even holds its position during adjust... 
Kirmuss Ultrasonic vinyl cleaner
I came over here from the other US discussion. I’m not a chemist but don’t buy into propylene glycol affecting polarity. But it is a wetting agent and acts almost like starch, slightly thickening the cleaning solution. Some prescribe mixing PG int... 
Who Uses KIRMUSS Restoration System?
Anyone can see with a UV light that US machines certainly are effective regardless of polarity. Polarity is a moot point if you manually wash with something like a goat hair brush with bristles small enough to fit into the record grooves.     
Denafrips Support - No Such Thing
@tekaudiospecialties1 I never sent a message. Do you help with Denafrips products you didn’t sell? I bought direct from them. Can't get the Aether to work, maybe a connection problem due to their poor directions. @12many  I posted a high-level de... 
Denafrips Support - No Such Thing
@alvin1118  Hi Alvin, Thanks for your offer. I watch all your videos and know you were associated with them in the past. It is clock connections that I'm having problems with. I’ll drop you a line. Thanks again.
