Easy to DIY if you're up for it (I happened to find it a few weeks back when I looking for stuff to do with my son). I use the Rocket Air Blaster that I have for my DSLR. Works pretty well and it's a workout for your hands/forearms! ;)

Hi @displayname, I've had my Okki Nokki (I think mine's just called the version 2) since February 2019 and had a similar consideration set as you. I went with the Okki Nokki for the following reasons: Small Footprint. Between the VPI, Pro-ject, and Okki Nokki, the Okki Nokki was the smallest...

I think I'll probably go with a PrimaLuna EVO 300 when I'm ready to make the leap. Upscale Audio is only about 40 minutes away from me but I haven't visited yet (but I intend to). Thanks for the reco on the Tannoys; if Upscale still has them when I visit, I'll check 'em out. I fell in love with...

Hi @Cheesefry, I've had my NODE 2i for about a year and really like it, especially for the price. I previously had a SONOS CONNECT and the NODE 2i was a noticeable improvement in sound (UI/UX though, SONOS is still the best I've used). Even just playing Spotify, the improvement in sound was...

Hi @dlauerphoto, Welcome to the forum! I bought my Ultradeck from my local dealer but I wanted just the bare turntable w/o a cartridge. He had one that came fitted with the MasterTracker so he just took off that cartridge. I installed my Hana SL and later realized a couple of things: 1. I...

Hi @TheMythOfSisyphus, Sure, no problem. Replies/comments below.... Yeah, it seems like a lot of components these days use super bright LEDs. I ran out of space in my home entertainment cabinet so put the Stellar Phono in the center where a center channel is supposed to go. There's the...

Hi @TheMythOfSisyphus, Yes, been meaning to post my impressions but have been so busy with my son's distance learning (it's kicking my butt and he's only in Kindergarten...don't know how other parents are doing it). If I'm lucky, I get about 15 minutes in between hearing "I'm bored" or "what...

Aw man, if it was 3 weeks for me, I would've ordered! When I emailed, it was right around when they were about to start accepting early access orders for the DW (for previous customers...I've purchased 3 sets of cables from them via eBay).

I emailed them mid-March about the lead time for Soul Supremes and they said 6 weeks after ordering. I also asked about matching with my Parasound HINT 6 and they said they hadn't tried it (so I sort of took that mean it might not be a good match?). They did say that the best way to find out if...

Hi, Not sure if you've seen the review from Zero Fidelity but he has high praise for the RP600Ms (also states Steve Guttenberg raved about them as well as Stereophile). He also recently said in a different video these were the only horn speakers (including the smaller versions of this model)...

You're welcome. I'll report back when I receive and play with the Stellar Phono. PS Audio's running an AXPONA special where a bunch of their stuff is 20% off, and then they do the trade-in thing where you can get up to full retail in credit for your old stuff. I'm trading in my StudioPhono (that...

Hi @bluzuner, StudioPhono vs. UltraPhono, the Ultra has a lower noise floor + a Class A headphone amp. The StudioPhono was my first "real" phono after trying out the built-in phono stage of my HINT 6 (which sounded pretty bad with my Ortofon Red and Ortofon Blue). I haven't compared to other...

Hi @HuddieLedbetter, When I had the Grado Gold2 with my Pro-ject Carbon Debut Esprit, I had it hooked up to a MoFi StudioPhono (correction: rechecked my notes and I had it at 46dB gain) and later to a Parsound JC3 Jr. (correction: I had it at 50dB) and both were set at 47k ohms input impedance...

I'm still relatively new to "HiFi" so take this for what it's worth...I can't really tell significant differences between DACs (granted, I haven't tried higher-end DACs yet). I did hear enough differences between my Topping D70 and the other DACs I tried, but it wasn't 'til I tried it on...

Unless you want a Dragonfly Red for its extreme portability, I'd suggest getting something with more power. Maybe even a portable DAC/Amp like from Topping, iFi, SMSL, Aune, etc., many of which are around the same price as the Red or even less. But before that, I'd suggest just enjoying your...

Hi, My headphone setup is for use at work, so wanted something closed back. Needed something that sounds good, has minimal sound leakage, some blocking out of noise, and most of all, comfortable. After some messing with amps & DACs, I'm very happy and (hopefully) won't be messing with the setup...

Just wanted to post here in case anyone is interested in the Reference 1s. Turns out there aren't any B-Stocks (but they're calling them that)...according to my dealer, they're canceled orders that they've already started building but people have canceled (the Ref 1s are built to order). So...

Yes, haha, I was chatting about this with my dealer and he told me about a client who's wife said "no" to towers, so he bought the Ref 1s and then came back a couple of days later to buy 2 subs....:D

Thanks @Tanqueray! And thanks for the feedback on the speakers...my local dealer has a pair in his store that he's willing to give me for a good (relatively speaking) price. I haven't had a chance to audition them yet and I wanted to compare them with the R3s. Everything I've read online says...

Hi, Long time lurker (including from the VMP days)…still relatively new to the HiFi thing at about a year in so mostly just been absorbing all of the great info on this (and other) online sources. I traded in my Pro-ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB for an Ultradeck (w/o cartridge) a couple of weeks...
