Congrats Shakti - great looking table. I hear nothing but great things about the table and its sound. Several AS TT owners have successfully used Synergistc Research’s TT mat including myself. It did improve the sound- jonaiken

Johan, Going well and hopefully also for you. The recent addition of the DS Audio Grand Master Optical Cartridge was a nice improvement over the W3 Optical Cartridge. Analog is supreme in my system over digital - Both vinyl and tape. J-Corder just restored my Technics RS-1500U R2R and will be...- jonaiken

Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème
It’s been awhile since I have commented on my Taiko Extreme - only because I was patiently waiting for XDMS to be available for installation and finding time to install the new NIC. Well, I can no longer be quiet - both tasks have been accomplished. Thanks to Ed he made the installation of XDMS...- jonaiken

BillK - Understand, obviously you like the Synergistic Research mat over the AS mat. What improvements are you hearing? I actually own the SR mat and will do a comparison this weekend and give my opinion.- jonaiken

BillK: From Gunther posted in FB: Lets make this clear. Sonically there has been no difference in the past. Since Neo the Gold and Chrome Silencers are made from Cooper and not brass as the non Gold one. So there is a clear sonical improovement you can hear. And the Gold/Chrome always have been...- jonaiken

Ron - BillK’s comment was based on upgrading from brass to gold or chrome plated silencers is cosmetic. Definitely agree on the functionality of the silencers and why the Ascona Neo sounds so grand.- jonaiken

BillK - going from the brass to the 24K gold silencers was a reasonable upgrade compared to the optional sandwich platter. I am struggling with the difference between the two platters, which is an additional 8 plates combined with the 56 silencers to make up the optional sandwich platter. Is...- jonaiken

Johan, the 11k excludes sales tax but my dealer normally gives me a discount that absorbs taxes, delivery cost and makes it more attractive for me to purchase. So normally my end price will be at least 10 - 15% percent lower than list price.- jonaiken
