TechDas III Premium vs Premium S
Hey, Other than a DS ION-001 Vinyl Ionizer I haven't added or modded it. The DS does cure static. Happy Listening, Robert 
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
Hey Folks, Actually bought S3 2023s last month.  XA30.8 powers them fine. I am still moving them around but I have them close I think.  Really good of course. Thanks for the replies, Robert  
Who is your favorite tube seller?
Surprised to read so many recommending United.  Last time I checked they were vague about what one is actually buying. I have bought most of my Mullards over the last few years from Brent Jesse.  Got some good ones from Tube Depot when Jesse was ... 
Linn LP12 turntable
Hello, I own and have owned many turntables.  Despite having a recent model P3 with the outboard power supply, I am not a Rega fan.  They are neither high mass, nor suspended.  It was bought as an interim machine when the speed regulation went so... 
Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

"The Medium or the Source Method to hear produced sound, does not matter anymore" Maybe not to you, but to many it does. One should not state opinion as if it was fact. Sincerely, Robert

"I have several audiophile copies of Kind of Blue. The streaming version sounds the same and only costs $14.99 a month and includes half a million other high resolution albums and ten million red book CD quality albums. Much more cost effective th... 
TechDas Speed Issue
"Try to readjust speed again with belt tension - like from the beginning. Go with lowest tension as possible. " vuckovic gets the prize! I actually was able to speak with Mair from Audio Salon who is the importer.  He had me to exactly that.  Mo... 
TechDas Speed Issue
OK,  I thought maybe somebody had run into the issue. And no, nothing is dragging.  It is an air bearing with a separate compressor for the bearing and vacuum hold down.  The power supply and and speed controller are in a box with the compressor....

VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp
I have the VTL 6.5 III for the tubes and the high number of inputs including two tape monitors.  The stock tubes were SHOUTY.  I have not tried the Amperex, but NOS or lightly used and matched Mullards are quite nice. Y'all be safe, Robert
