I hadn't been able to get a filtered power supply for it and I didn't want to spend that sort of money on it either. So in the next few weeks I will have a nice...- Hawkertempest

Should i buy a vinyl player?
All you need is one of the latest Rega's or an equivalent competitor, a Schiitt Mani and a set of Pyst cables and you will have a system that will blow any digital system clean out of the water.

Nordost Cables Thread
I to was a cable sceptic until I was helping a friend try and decide which cable he should purchase from a group his Hi-Fi Shop had recommended, Wow did I get an education, some of them were shocking, but the Nordost were so far superior to anything else. His and my system are all Nordost Tyr... -
The Best audiophile tracks to test equipment
I use Jheena Lodwick Feelings Vol.2 Victor Entertainment XRCD24 1009 Japanese pressing. I have used it for selecting cables, power amps and speakers. It has never let me down and has really made it easy to separate the good from the chaff.- Hawkertempest
