Nah, it's just an old school-style p2p network/app. Kind of like Limewire but specifically for music (and without the malware).Is that a private Usenet tracker?

There's an album I've just been really hoping I'd find a vinyl rip of, more than any others and I've never seen it. I don't know how any thing like this could be done short of me sending you a record, its just something I'm always asking people about. The album is "The Turning Wheel" by Spellling.
I assume the record rip you desire is different than what's on Qobuz?
CD Quality FLAC purchase via Qobuz is $13.45. Last I checked one just needs a Qobuz account and not an active subscription to purchase.
(Of course, the Qobuz offering would be without @theeclone's excellent remastering.)

Mr. Kenny Barron in a great new quintet (Immanuel Wilkins, Steve Nelson, Kiyoshi Kitagawa, Johnathan Blake). Some delightfully reinterpreted standards, some Barron compositions. Available on Qobuz and other places; the official store has vinyl, CD, and lossless download.

Yes, I subscribe to Tidal. Just trying to get specifically a vinyl rip of this record. Thanks for the thought tho.

We measure by hurricane status. Only pay attention to what counts! Lol (kinda of)... is there room in between high tide & low tide? ..... .....
@bcowen Found it if you want the link. I've been tempted myself. I will say that there was something about the hana el that didn't quite do it for me in the long run. Maybe a tad clinical to my ears.Over on the "Post a photo of your turntable" thread there's a regular who's been gushing about some really affordable but supposedly well made Chinese MC carts. I think he got them off Alibaba

Good, no great that you’ve found something you prefer. And I agree, coax does sound great!So I know that usb is the best option as a general rule with schiit dacs that have their unison usb implementation, but I am so happy with the sound of my modius e via the coax input. Better than when I was using toslink that’s for sure. I feel odd to not have even tried the modius e unison usb port, but the sound is so good over coax

It isn't too unusual to make recordings using tube equipment (microphones and amps), but this record label (TACET) have made a point of highlighting it. They have produced some excellent albums but I would give more credit to the recording engineers rather than the equipment.

I may need to expand the streaming services I subscribe to. I like the idea of owning something, even if streaming is a much better option for someone as disorganized as I am.I assume the record rip you desire is different than what's on Qobuz?

That's a terrible dilemma. But I can help!Be very interested in your thoughts on the Hana. I've been eyeballing one myself, just not sure if I should go that route or send the Koetsu off to be rebuilt.

It was challenging getting away from civilization but eventually we found a spot.
All we could see with the naked eye was the green band arching to the north. But my regular iPhone 12 caught this.
This was looking straight up to capture the Big Dipper. You can still see the aurora on the right coming from the north.

Gorgeous images. Good on ya! Can't imagine the shipping cost of having the Northern Lights delivered Down Under. Must have impressed the locals at least.Continue to be amazed by the point and shoot capability of the iPhone 14 Pro. Taken this evening nearby to Scarsdale, Vic, Australia. No edits, handheld, straight off the phone.
** Def not super sharp, or pro quality, but still. And there was barely any visible Aurora when these were taken.

I love my Hana SL
Hana and VPI both get excellent reviews.I have a Hana on my VPI table and it is excellent.
I am sure that the combo sounds great.
I have now settled on an Audio Technica AT- ART 20 MC cartridge on my Technics SL 1200G turntable, having tried lots of carts, mainly MM....
The AT cartridge was recommended to me by a Recording/Audio Engineer, who is a huge vinyl fan.
It was an extravagant purchase, but I love it!

Get the Hana AND send the Koetsu off to be rebuilt. Then have the rebuilt Koetsu sent to me forlongshortmedium term evaluation. If the rebuilt Koetsu fails to meet the exquisite original quality, I can can break the news to you gently over a period of months or years. Save you that sudden aching disappointment which can be awfully disappointing. Also will save me from sending my old toddler-modded Kotesu off to be rebuilt. We both win!
On the 1 in a million chanceyourour rebuilt Koetsu does indeed produce that rich transcendent musical experience that we thought we'd never experience again, I can inform you gently over a period of months or years. Again, we both win!
You are obviously a kind and generous soul.
