Uberwaltz, +1I'm worse than you are, and enjoying music in the primary goal, but there's no harm in trying new things.  For me, that's part of the fun, and part of this hobby.  It's whatever makes you happy.

Uber,Valid point.  I'm actually using the iFi with an old NAD cd player & it's working out wonderfully..  I mean I'm playing CDs again, and having fun.

Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

Well..This little gadget is very cool.  On my 3rd record so far.  I haven't played around with all the settings which include:-3 types of tube sound signatures: classic tube, set, and push-pull-3 sound stage signatures: normal, enhanced, and 30* e...

The ART 7 is supposed to be a fine cart as well, but if you ordered a 9 and paid for a 9, then you should....get a 9. I wouldn’t even mount the 7 in case the seller tries to tell you it can't be returned since it’s been used.Hope it gets resolved ...

Uber,Did your ART 9 arrive yet?
