Thanks, the TT is a DIY project by a very close friend of mine, and the shelf was custom made for the TT.

Oyaide br-12 mat arrived yesterday, so lets see what the impressions will be after some time.I got it mostly to increase the height for a few mm, but initially I really like it as an interface between the POM platter and the record.

A very difficult choice since I like a lot/most of his content, but somehow I am almost always going back to Jack Johnson and On the corner in the last months. KoB is great, and I like it a lot, but somehow grew tired of it (sacrilege I know :) )

Hugh Masekela - Hope

First, please accept my apologies for the delayed answer, I was on a business trip abroad and then suffered a nasty cold (still ongoing), so I was not really checking pfm. Now to your question, its a bit difficult to say because at the time I think I went from dual subs plus REW/Umik1 and...

Your post prompted me to check how long I’ve had the Neumanns. KH310A since 2016, KH750DSPs since 2019 and MA alignment kit since 2022. Each additional step brought nice improvement and eliminated any desire for a change.

It’s only appropriate to start the day with one of my favorite live albums…

Few weeks ago I got the "itch" to try and test play with a bit of upsampling in HQ player since I had a spare endpoint and a HTPC.From reading more on the topic, I guess my system is not really the ideal candidate for HQ player (Elac DDP2 with AKM dac, DSP via Neumann after the DAC), but still...

Late night sessions :)

Isoacoustics Gaia III , really happy with the visual and slight sound improvement.Next are the Aperta Subs, as soon as they are on stock at the dealer.

In anticipation for the new album… Black Pumas (Deluxe Edition).

Considering that you "stole" it from some one in the first place - it's understandable :) I can only confirm, it worked great as a preamp into my Neumann active system.

And I learned about this album and bought your CD, so thank you both :) But I will be buying the Craft, this album in a hopefully good mastering on an LP is a must.

Thanks for the kind words :) It was a purely aesthetic reason in order to be able to accomodate a 12” tonearm, while keeping the footprint on the “smaller” size. Thanks :) But I cant take any credit for the turntable, as I’ve mentioned in the past, it’s a DIY project from a very close friend...
