Do what Marc suggested, go Pass Labs Dew eet you're so deep into vinyl.

Thanks for the write up Jack. I'm tempted to try the DL-103, not too happy with my Goldring.

After doing more critical listening I'm convinced they were going for this lowfi effect. There's no way Steve Hoffman or Kevin Gray intended for this to sound so muddy. I'll be able to hear it on a dialed in Aries3 soon so I guess I'll see how it sounds then. God damn vinyl Yes.

I'm doing another. That last effort was terrible.

This is the type of feedback I'm looking for. The needle drop does sound worse than being played on the table, but it's not an entirely inaccurate representation of what I'm hearing. The tone and muffled sound is heard listening to the vinyl as well. And looking at the waveform it should be sounding a hell of a lot more dynamic than it does. The setup is: MMF-5/Goldring 1012 cart -> NAD PP-2 -> Emu0404usb as the analog digital converter. The TT setup is in a not very optimized position right now. Sitting on the top of my rack with pretty much no vibration isolation.

He's not a new member. I'm locking this thread because he's an idiot.

Do you guys think this sounds a bit too over dampened and muffled? Definitely not what it sounds like on my TT Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback. edit: will update with better drops, this one sucked

I Robot is a great album. I wish I had the DVD-A :/

No we didn't

Hi welcome on board.

Happy birthday!

I believe Vicky (boomana) owns or owned both. Maybe send her a PM.

This is a really good idea. edit: or maybe just a sticky in the off topic encouraging people to introduce themselves? Do you think that would cut down on the number of people registering just to post wanted/sale ads?

People have mentioned it in the past: Looks like the stand would be better suited for Lambdas.

The way the Stax stands compress the O2 pads you might be better off with one that leaves the pads hanging. Or get Steve to make you a stand with a STAX logo (that would be so tite?)

I believe the North Star uses the Philips spec as well, but I will double check.

Would the Opus, USB/I2S and Metronome module be one of the better (ie compete with high end USB Dacs) USB DACs? I'm intrigued by the I2S/Metronome and their claims for very low jitter. Or would it be possible to build a stand alone Metronome just as an I2S box to feed my North Star?

The difference being I believe Jagwire had casino access

Thanks Jack. iirc the Lambda had a slightly recessed midrange (or I'm confusing it with the Lambda Pro). And they are a bit bright, but they weren't no where near as offensive as the SR-404. I'm hoping the bass on the Lambda is enough for me to rock out with until I get the SR-007. The integrated I'm leeching off has a warmer signature so that will help things.

I'm not from Vancouver. But I used to live in Edmonton and there were a lot of people from the Vancouver area in my med school.

Haha no offense taken. They're both doing really well right now- one of them is doing emergency med at Yale and the other in his final year of med school. And one of my dad's partners at his old clinics sons went there (boarding not commute) and is now doing neurosurgery somewhere. At least with my two close friends they both liked it there. And IMO high school is about having a good time not being burdening with a ridiculous course list.

SR-Lambda vs SR-007 comparisons needed. Though I don't get to hear my Lambdas for another few weeks :'(

St Johns by any chance? I had a couple of friends that went there.

Save the tweaks for last. After you have your source, amp and headphones set.
