Cool setup. Welcome
Do you use LMS CD player plug in?Digital :
For digital duties I use a Raspberry PI streamer with Volumio installed. This has a 7 inch touch screen with a quick 3D case knocked up by myself.
It has a USB DVD drive connected which is used to rip CD's but I occasionally listened to CD's - works very well.
The PI has an R2-R DAC HAT (as in a board connected directly to the PI) which is superb at what it does.
I have a PI NAS with a 6Tb USB drive attached for streaming (and storing) FLAC files, plus signed up to Tidal and Spotify (for the family) which work either directly from the touch screen or can be managed from a tablet/phone/laptop etc.
Digital is not high in my priorities for music but good for finding new music so I can look to get on vinyl
No - I use Volumio to access the CD drive - I have also subscribed to Volumio (think its £25 per year) so I can use Tidal and also rip CD'sDo you use LMS CD player plug in?
Have you tried Daphile or Vortexbox lately. You can use Tidal and any other service with its LMS server.No - I use Volumio to access the CD drive - I have also subscribed to Volumio (think its £25 per year) so I can use Tidal and also rip CD's
I haven't - happy with what I have. Trying to work out what I would gain going to another system and using LMS server?Have you tried Daphile or Vortexbox lately. You can use Tidal and any other service with its LMS server.

The original platter is not acrylic (can't remember what is is made of but I know it is made up from 3 Gyro platers - apparently) and has a large hollow in the middle while this platter does not.
Amps:
Used as a pre-amp (a brilliant headphone amp but a very good pre-amp) is my Myryad Z40
Doing power am duties is a Pure Sound A30 and I love's it
To my ears it does, but the A30 only supports 3 inputs and I had 4 and I enjoy using headphones (which I will also show).So I take it the Myryad/Puresound combination is preferable to using the volume control on the A30 alone?
I thought it was Delrin but wasn't 100% sure - thanksI think it is Delrin (aka polyoxymethylene).
Only ever heard this on in the current plinth and I thought it was great.Nice QL-7, the motor unit definitely deserved a better plinth than the stock one.
I have one in the shed somewhere buried under who knows what, not seen it for 20 years!
Thanks.gnninam, hello
Very nice setup! Can you write a few words on how your turntables compare between each other?
Thanks.Nice system.
