    Step Up Transformers - SUT Thread

    Pretty much just cross posting here, but I picked up a Bob’s Devices Sky-20S at Southwest Audio Fest this weekend. I also committed to Bob’s cables as well. All I can say is that I’m a believer. I am no longer in the fence about the Hana ML, and I think this will be in the system for a very...

    I really need to go to bed with some big meetings tomorrow, but I'm having way to much fun jamming right now!

    Southwest Audio Fest (Updated for '25)

    Now to share some other highlights from the show. I'll do more photos later, but have some fun stories. It was truly a star studded event. I saw most of the YouTubers in person and landed in the same room with some of them various times. I didn't introduce myself to them, but it was fun seeing...

    Audio Hardware Deals: Speakers, Headphones, Turntables, Etc.

    Agree, if you're interested in those speakers buy them now and let them honor that price before they correct it.

    Yes, 100% tri-planar. I made note because it was the first time I’d seen one in person.

    About the same as last year, a few but not common.

    Southwest Audio Fest (Updated for '25)

    Favorite experience so far was in the room pictured below, they played In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, on reel to reel, and they played it loud! It wasn’t the most refined system, or the ultimate best sound, but boy did it have the magic! I felt an emotional connection to that music like never before.

    Here comes a big photo dump. I didn’t even get through half yesterday, only had about 3 hours to walk around and lots of time catching up with friends. I started with the bigger rooms and today I’ll get through smaller rooms and be more focused with my time.

    None of these specific brands, but mostly rooms like this honestly.

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    This is amazing. I would have assumed all the automated lift parts and belt would be totally shot after like 3 years.

    Southwest Audio Fest (Updated for '25)

    Reviving this thread for the 2025 show that will be taking place this weekend! They've added a whole extra floor of showrooms. This year I'm going in with a more focused approach to really spend some time with gear and brands I'm actually considering. I've also decided that while shows are not...

    Distortion on CD player

    I don't think it's worth entering the rabbit hole of potential problems. Could be the internal dac. Could be the output voltage is super high for your equipment. Could be a wiring issue. Could be an output stage issue. Anyway around it it probably still wouldn't be cost effective when you have...

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    LP60... honestly it's probably fine. I'd imagine these only exist for people having accidents with the stylus. If someone actually ran through a diamond on one of those, I'd imagine most of the other parts of the unit are already beyond repair.
