Hi @McGlam, Ooh, I'll have to check out Supervinyl next time I'm in that area. At Commonwave, I think I only saw one Ultradeck on display, but now that I think about it, I think he has it in one of his Instagram pics as well. I auditioned the Devore O/96s there and that was a big big mistake.

Hi @McGlam, I think you said you weren't too far from Audio Element? I was just there two weekends ago and they had MoFi Ultradecks as part of their "turntable bar". Also saw Regas as well (though I don't know which models) so would be an easy comparison for you. My local HiFi dealer and where...

A few weeks ago, I posted about a broken dampening o-ring on my Ultradeck. Due to my own stupidity, I stripped the grub screw that holds the headshell in place. I just wanted to follow up in case this info is helpful for anyone else. After being in contact with MoFi and trying unsuccessfully...

A few weeks back, I posted about a broken o-ring dampener by the headshell. I received the o-ring and went to remove the grub screw that holds the headshell in place and stripped the little hex screw. 🥴 I reached out to MoFi and they suggested supergluing the hex wrench to the screw. There's not...

Hi @Mather , I have a Node 2i (the previous generation) and decided to just keep it simple and use the internal DAC of the Node. I tested it out when I first got it on my downstairs system (HINT 6 & KEF Q350), which is more revealing than my now "main" setup. I tried the following: "External"...

Cool, thanks @AnthonyI . Yeah, I usually just go with OEM to save headaches (unless there's something obviously better)...I think I was just initially surprised at how much it was. ;) Mine got brittle and there's actually another part that's starting to break as well. The section that broke...

Hi, has anyone else had the headshell o-ring give out? If so, what'd you replace it with? Can I just go to Home Depot and pick one up that fits, or is there something special about it? I was going to order it with a new belt but Music Direct said a replacement o-ring is $15! I usually like to...

Yup, I received my EVO 100 on Saturday! I did an online chat with them late Thursday afternoon, and they confirmed they had two open box EVO 100s (in black). They shipped it out Friday morning and it arrived Saturday (I live like 45 minutes away from them)! It was discounted 10% and even though...

Just placed an order with Upscale! They had two open boxes (in black) so I grabbed one of them. Thanks again @HiFi Guy!

Awesome, thanks @HiFi Guy!

Hi all, Had some questions on PrimaLuna. This will be for my office setup. I just ordered the Falcon Acoustics Q7 kit (which I'm looking forward to putting together). Is it worth it to get the PrimaLuna EVO 200 over the EVO 100 ($600 difference)? I like the smaller size of the EVO 100. In the...

Hi @Smansmith, I had the same thing happen with my Okki Nokki brush, though I did read it's worse when new. However, I switched to the MoFi brush, which is made of a velvet-like material (seems like a type of microfiber). I like the amount of cleaner it soaks up and ergonomics are very good...

Hi @AnthonyI, I find the Sennheisers warm, yet with enough detail to make this my preferred headphones in my office (they're hooked up to a Darkvoice 336SE w/NOS Tung-Sol & RCA tubes. When I first listen to them, I was really surprised at the texture and air they presented, but also surprised...

@thisunfolds, If you'd like to save about $135 and don't mind factory refurbished, Safe & Sound has the NAD for $314.30 (plus free shipping). I bought a factory refurbished Parasound HINT 6 from them last year and the thing looked brand new (granted different manufacturer).

Hi @AngryVal, I've had a Synology DS415play for a few years now and have been happy with it (from what I remember, it was the first 3rd-party NAS/drive that supported Time Machine). I use it for my Time Machine backups (both remote and wired) and use it as my primary storage for all the...

Hi @Corycm, I ordered an Ortofon Blue Stylus from them last year based on all the glowing reviews and will never buy from them again. Sounds like my experience was just a fluke...if they were local I'd give them another shot but just not worth the hassle to me. 1/26 /19 - I placed my order...

I use their 0.5ft RCAs on my office headphone setup. Mine have Mogami wire with Eminence connectors. I had a hard time finding 0.5ft interconnects so I took a shot and so far, I have no complaints. Mine came with a sheet saying it takes 175 hours to fully break-in which with their name, gave me...

Just a follow up in case anyone has a similar question in the future...the wiggling is gone. I'd read on a couple of forums that sometimes with NOS tubes, using them (allowing them to heat up/cool down) will reseat the glass envelope to the base. It's super solid now!

Hi, I bought a Darkvoice headphone amp as a cheap way to see what the tube sound is (I'm hooked now). I started messing with tubes and after doing some research and bought a NOS JAN RCA 6AS7G. I notice it wiggles when I hold the glass envelope and the base. It's very slight but will/can this...

This might be a long shot, but it's free and relatively easy to do...have you checked the level on your turntable? Something similar happened to me where I was hearing what sounded like sibilance/treble breaking up (confirmed with multiple records). I thought maybe my stylus was damaged but on a...
