I accidentally a new tonearm. Grace 940. Plinth still isn't finished.

Need to get you an SP-10 mk2 (or mk3) to round out the herd :smiling_imp:

How many top-tier turntables do you have????

It does indeed! I can't get over the absolutely pitch black background, quieter than any belt drive table I've heard. Baltic birch, to be exact. I actually haven't glued the layers together yet, been too busy listening to take it back apart. Will stain or varnish, leaving the lamination...

Made some sawdust in my garage yesterday (SP-15, RB250, 2M Bronze. Out of view below: Phonobox, O2 serving as a preamp, Firstwatt Aleph J)

Hey guys, Taking the plunge into Stax with an SR80 (well, SR-84). $50 eBay gamble, we'll see if they even work. I expect the earpads will be shot, does anyone know if the regular Lambda series pads will fit?

  Skip the Spin Clean, get a proper vacuum cleaning machine like the Record Doctor V or KAB EV-1. Makes a huge difference.

  Did that, no joy. Windows won't even register that it's connected in the device manager. Sent an email to Massdrop to start the exchange process.

Got mine in yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to send it back. I couldn't get the USB input to work on any of my computers (Windows 7 and Windows 10). Even after installing the drivers, I couldn't get the computer to recognize it. Tried several USB cables as well. Anyone else...

  The 3.2s are good, but if you look around (somewhere other than eBay, of course), you might find a pair of 5.2s for that price. And they're a whole lot better.

About to pull the trigger on the DX50. Seems like it pairs well with the ER4P, anyone want to talk me out of it? 

  All you need is a little EQ for that. I use Poweramp on my Galaxy Note 3, it can turn them into downright bass monsters. They respond very well to EQ thanks to their naturally flat response.

Just bought my third and final pair. Won't be selling them again, ever.  I may even get custom molds in the near future, although the triflanges aren't bad once you get used to them.   A quick question for all fellow ER4 lovers; I'm looking into getting a new DAP, either the Fiio X3 or iBasso...

  I was once using my ER4s late at night in my dorm room, and couldn't hear the fire alarm until my roommate alerted me  False alarm, thankfully. But yes, the isolation is THAT good.

My music library (all FLAC, mostly 16/44.1) is about 320gb total. I store it on a 1tb Western Digital Caviar Black in my PC to free up room on the SSD.

YES!!! 

It depends on the speaker. Some can sound a bit too bright when they're toed in (my JBLs come to mind). It's best to experiment with placement and toe-in to find what works best for your setup.

 

  If it helps, the new iPhone will become obsolete within two years. The HD650s will easily last five years or more.

How's the Gi2?

You may need to order a 60hz motor from Rega.

  I have a Quickfire Rapid that I carry with my laptop, and it's a good little board. Haven't used the Stealth, but CM's build quality is pretty good.

  Is that a tube-modded Oppo??? 

  You could try the Epic 2 ($799) or Epic 1 ($499), they're quite good. How much were you looking to spend?

Just passed the one year mark with my 650s  Suffice it to say, they won't be getting replaced anytime soon.
