| Mac Mini I would agree with Cutterfilm (above). It looks like there are two camps: those who believe that a DAC puts out varying information depending on whether it is vibrating and those who believe its information rate remains the same until the point of... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable I'm going with a used Roksan Radius V. I think the KAB is a great idea but I'm concerned it's not going to be musical enough and the cost of the two is equal assuming I do upgrades to the KAB and buy the Radius used. | |
| Mac Mini The only benefit you would get from reducing vibration to the Mac Mini would be to reduce vibration going to the hard drive--to prevent it from failing. However, as others are hinting with a cat analogy, if the hard drive can read the binary conte... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Thanks, Michael. I emailed Kevin and he has been helpful. I'm thinking of a table, arm rewire and cartridge at around $1000. Nice thing is, it should last forever. My Rega was great but a touch ginerly in its make and sound. I am, however, nervous... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Michael, Do you have a KAB? If so, how does your KAB compare with your Musichall listed on your system profile? I am very interested! | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Good point Michael. I was arriving at the number by purchasing the 1210M5G because it had better stock wiring and I liked it's looks a bit better. I was adding in the tonearm re-wire, strobe disabler, and at least $125 for a cartridge. That gets m... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Thanks for the advice on the VPI, and the comments on the KAB. I think the VPI is a must to look at in my price range.One person with KAB exchanged emails with me. He/she felt that the KAB was a nice upgrade and the Technics was built like a tank,... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Rega Response:I loved my Rega P2, but I was experimenting with cartridges near the end there, trying to coax out more overall "presence" or something. My P2 was tuneful and well behaved. I definitely would like more wow factor.I hate to admit this... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Is moving coil, I believe. I could go there, but that means starting with a phono preamp and, while not against it because it is ultimately a good idea, I was keen on using the MM se board in the Creek. Still open to this. | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable I heard a VPI about 15 years ago, in college, and really enjoyed it. At the time, it was just a dream. Funny to think I could be shopping for one. I will keep this on my shortlist. Thank you. | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable I tried to get in touch with the fellow at vinylnirvana and can't get a response. I will keep trying. Thanks. | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable I'm definitely curious now about KABUSA and their modifications. Thanks for this! | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable 1. Ok, I could go to $1500 MAX, total with cartridge.2. Thank you all so much! I have hours of research, which is fun, to do now. Any additional suggestions due to my answer in 1 above will be super appreciated.Thanks all! |
