Yeah they bonded a mat made from PVC to the top of those platters if I remember correctly. Pretty nice idea.

Correct. I had the APM with the GR. I prefer the standard mat.

Thanks everybody! Running it on my VPI, shouldn't be any issues with the stickers. Keep you posted on the sonics later this week!

Also on an aside the brainwaves replacement headphone pads are really nice and easy to fit. They only supply the standard PU leather ones for my headphones, so nothing fancy like some of you have, but the ones that came on them had degraded after 5 years of commuting in all weathers so needed changing out!

I get what he’s saying, and the point is to enjoy and get into the music more.
But… the whole time he’s talking I kept looking at the Pass HPA-1 behind him and thinking about it. I’m sooo fallible.

It’s useful to do so.
I fail at “meden agan” however. Which leads us back to temet nosce. Lol.

uhh, caveat emptor
I figured this out a while ago. I think the very closest one can actually get is the illusion of being at the mixing board in the studio. In that case one is still listening through the studios mics, electronics and speakers.
A few well recorded live albums come closer, but still a long way from the real thing.

Most live shows are the same, unless you are going to see classical in a reputable venue for the music. I don't think I've ever seen a jazz band without amplification. I have been to a few intimate bluegrass things without amplification. But most of the time, there is some electronics in the way. It's kind of a mute point with most Rock music anyhow... almost nothing Jimi Hendrix did was pure music....

Chasing dissatisfaction. I like that. Sounds like my dating life all those years ago.

Yea! The new CD and phono are out? Will they be priced equivalent to the old ones or the new pre and power amps…
Edit: Ah they’re just the existing ones on a pre owned basis lol. I’d love to hear the phono someday.

Hey all, new poster but not new to the forum. I’m considering the NAD C165BEE/C298/Linton route for a bedroom sized system. Looking at the Denafrips Aries 12th as the DAC. Main use will be Roon for my personal library of digital files and online stuff. That’s in addition to vinyl.
Anyone have any thoughts on this approach? Other DACs to think about?
Thanks in advance for any input.
