MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@gelle  Thanks! I don't see it but I'll ping up and let him know what I'm up to. I 'spose everyone's doing what I'm doing except I'm late to the Orchid party. Mine should be here in a couple days along with a CEC TL5. I got the Tung Sol upgrade fr... 
Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less
I just pulled the trigger on an Orchid this week. I've also got a CEC TL5 coming to pair with it. I bought it with the upgraded Tung Sol  since you get the standard tube as well. @hilde45 I think analytical is negative depending on how one views s...

@gelle Thanks for your resposne. I realized (duh) I could contact them and they were speedy in response. I'm about to pull the trigger. Where did you get the tubes? Looks like a lot of different places. I also realized I could buy one and if it di... 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I've read the entire thread and am very interested. My CDP died and I'm thinking about getting a CEC TL5 and an Orchid. I have mild tinnitus and I've been out of audio for a while as a result, but getting back in. This sounds like the DAC for me s... 
Network Transport vs. CD Transport
I think it's a good option to have. Just wanted to chime in and rather than take a side over which may be "best" just point out that there are different modes to how we can listen as well as ways to listen. You get it. 
Network Transport vs. CD Transport
Interesting thread. I'm getting my system setup again after years of sitting in boxes. Lots of traveling and a move. With WFH likely to be my new normal it seemed time. I've been listening to CD's in rental cars until the last few months when I've... 
ProAc Studio 140 vs. Dynaudio Focus 220........
I also would be interested in whether anyone has heard the Proac 140's. I'm looking to change speakers and these are in my price range. Not that it's a big deal but I notice they won the What Hi-Fi award in their price category.... 
The end of LP collecting????
DAMN YOU, Chazzbo for kicking my puppy and taking my last meal money, damn you!That said, buck up, the great thing about humans is that we are mortal and cancer, heart attacks, traffic accidents and the rest mean that ownership of records is only ... 
How Should We Clean A New Record?
Thanks for the info guys. Justin, I wouldn't mind more information on the water situation. I always think it's good to err on the side of more information. People can do with as they will........ 
How Should We Clean A New Record?
I was wondering about the water to be used for rinsing. I use RRL products for record cleaning but do not rinse. I was told, and have read that one uses a two step application, the stronger Super Deep Cleaner then the Super Vinyl wash and vacuum. ...

Try googling Bell Labs computer music and you will get more results. The EMF Institute even has a snippet of a computer singing "Bicycle Built for Two" as well as a nice timeline. A lot of this research was done as part of computer music research.... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Tgun,I know this is late but I missed some days. I've been suffering through a protracted illness and have been listless and tired, a relative is dying and my brother's hooked on drugs(too much PrAT from his Linn 'table). However your modding post... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
Seanbaik,No problem on the name. I thought it was kind of amusing since I'm the one who took your dog and I've trained him to clean my records, it costs me a Milk Bone dog biscuit per side but it's worth it. Kidding.....Yeah, I had a bad experienc... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
Seanbaik, I'm not saying give up on digital. I think that there's no way around owning a ton of CD's(I have 2-3 thousand). I just think that my best sounds have always come through my turntables. If want to check out some tables in Seattle there i...
