    Having now spent about four intentional hours with semi-accurate A/B tests on the LPS, here's my conclusion: I cannot with good conscience say there's sonic improvement with the LPS, but I can attest to feeling more at peace with it. Again, I found mine on the local marketplace for just less...

    Ok, and I'm serious about the coffee or tea.

    Your directions were correct, please allow me to buy you a cup of tea or joe via Venmo. Can't be certain but I believe there were two errors. My L/R were definitely switched on the 20/20, which seems easy to do since the RCA jacks are all white. Also, one of the cables was not completely seated...

    Brilliant, will try this when I get home from church. Just based on what you've offered here and going from memory, I feel like I reversed one of these connections. Will confirm this afternoon. Please stay tuned.

    No forgiveness necessary, and thank you. Was trying to occupy the least amount of space in the signature field. I have the following kit: (Pre) Benchmark HPA-4 (DAC) Benchmark DAC3 B (Amp) Benchmark AHB2 Monoblocks (Phono Pre) Sutherland 20/20 with LPS (TT) VPI Classic 3 (Cart) Soundsmith...

    Agreed and that's certainly the objective, only I seem to have lost common sense overnight. Not sure why or how, but I'm failing to comprehend where cables specifically need to go between these three four devices for a proper analog signal. 1. HPA-4 2. DAC3 B 3. 20/20 4. VPI Classic 3 In...

    Yes, it was item description and pictures uninstalled... proved not to be useful.

    Guys, I'm a complete idiot. My LPS arrived for the 20/20. I had planned to rearrange/relocate/clean my equipment. In doing so prior to incorporating the LPS and failing to take pictures, I've completely forgotten how my cables were connected. 🙄 Would any kind soul take pity on me and...

    The addition of my SU-7 increased the noise floor with an audible hum-like sound, but very different than the ground loop. I didn't expect it and hoped to resolve by retaining the DL gear, but in the end it made more sense to swap. Keith worked with me every step of the way and was extremely...

    Not the ground loop, the feedback. VPI will hopefully resolve the ground loop when they return from holiday.

    I know this all too well, unfortunately. Was able to solve the feedback by switching out the phono preamp, but the ground loop issue still remains somewhere within the TT itself or its ASD module. Haven't been home to test it more but hope to by week's end. For the record, can't recommend DL...

    Ordered an LPS because I sourced one locally for a much better price. Will report back in the coming weeks with first hand experience.

    Pretty sure I'm going to make the upgrade.

    Will check into them, thanks. Considering the LPS upgrade on my 20/20. Does that require purchasing 1 or 2 LPS units? Edit: NVM, there's obviously only one AC port. Blame the holiday spirits. ;)

    Were you able to isolate the actual cause of the hum? Same issue with my VPI Classic 3, need to follow up with them after the holidays.

    Had been streaming a fair amount due to a relentless ground loop I couldn't seem to eliminate. Tried spinning the black circle tonight for the first time in months and that MF reared its ugly head. If you work for VPI and happen to be reading this, it would be great for you to return CS...
