Got it new. I watched for a used one for over a year, and never found anyone willing to sell one separate from the unit. I’m going to use it more before I experiment with power cords. I’m sincerely hoping my experience will be that a power cable has a really minimal impact because I don’t want...

Well I’ve had the 20/20 for 5-6 years. I think that’s as open as it’ll get. Now the LPS… that might change slightly.

He’s done limited runs on black front units. I couldn’t tell you the specifics, but I’ve seen them. I feel like someone here has/had a black 20/20 at one point. But it’s real. Just message the seller and ask for the model.

Decided work can wait a little bit. Only time to A/B with 3 tracks for now. The difference isn’t immediate or shocking, but it’s there right away out of the box. I know the 20/20 takes a little time to warm up, and I won’t even dive into the break in debate. I’ll just say this is outright...

I totally agree on the ease of consuming the content. I've done like 9 of these for various hifi things now. It's great because it's not like I need to commit to a podcast series or seek things out. I can just skip reading, get the main points told to me while I drive, and go on with my life. Or...

LPS has landed today, but won't be able to really give it a run until Tuesday evening.

If the only reason they are considering an upgrade is because you mentioned it, then you shouldn't have mentioned it. That's the epitome of gate keeping that turns people off of the hobby.

Everyone here did the most important thing you can do in cables: they tried different ones! The only thing I can't stand in the cable debate is someone who stands on one side firmly, and never is actually open to trying it. If you have an opportunity to hear different cables in any system, you...

You are lucky to have a well regarded brand so close!

I have heard a select few that I like, but I generally feel the same way.

To be honest, I wouldn't say a test a ton, and I certainly don't spend a ton of time buying and reselling. This has been the best part of meeting people locally in audio. Borrow other stuff. When others buy something, join them when they test old/new in the system. Go to shows or dealer events...

I'm the opposite. I want try as many cables as I can, and when they make a difference I want to buy them. In my experience, so do, some don't. I try to go used to minimize the financial losses. But I've been surprised how much more I've been able to get out of existing gear, and upgrading cables...

Finally gave in and ordered the LPS for the 20/20 today.

I wanted to get a better idea on views of the Mofi MC carts and I didn’t want to read everything I could find on them. I figured this would be a great opportunity to try Google’s NotebookLM “podcast” feature. This is basically 8 or 9 reviews and a discussion form...

I was going to say, if there's that big of difference there is likely a low gain situation going on with the phono. My streaming and phono come in almost dead even. I don't adjust the volume when switching between sources. Over time you might find that not only do you know your preferred...

What have I done?

I'm curious to hear your findings. I was going to say, might as well test them since you have them, lol. Honestly, BJC is basically a right of passage in the audio hobby. I don't know anyone who hasn't tried them at some point along the way. And a lot of people end their journey right there.

Any idea what db range that put you in? That seems very high!

Absolutely. Everyone has the reality of where they are. Be it bad back/knees that makes knee height gear difficult, financial limitations, aesthetic limitations, frankly not caring that much. I get it. People always ask me if things are "worth it" and I generally respond with a care analogy to...

If your equipment sits between your speakers, a chest high equipment rack can have a negative impact on soundstage and imaging. i believe Paul from PS Audio discussed this on his YouTube channel a couple times. In my mind, the further your speakers sit from a tall rack, the less it should...
