    Yes - the LTA-710 comes with the PD-191A and is developed by SAEC. atb, Tom

    This week I had the opportunity to listen to the new PD-191A from Luxman in detail at home: I'm in love... atb, Tom

    Hydrology's System

    Btw.: high damping factor A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to test the SIA-025 from Vitus Audio in my home for a few days. Compared to the Devialet D440pro, this was a clear improvement - better resolution, more space in width and depth and this extreme control in the bass. Even my room...

    Hydrology's System

    Thanks a lot - interesting to read. I would be very interested in a direct comparison between the DAC-200 and the Ferrum duo Hypsos + Wandla. Keep having fun with the T+A combo. atb, Tom

    The Initial Impact of the K22 & K41 On My Life

    No - the HQPDcontrol is a stand alone APP, which has to be installed from APP-store. As @kennyb123 already posted - you con try HQplayer as long as you want in Trial Mode with Admin/Admin - it „only“ has the be restartet every 30 min. Here you can find „everything“ you need...

    The Initial Impact of the K22 & K41 On My Life

    @KrellFan1 You don‘t need room measurements to use HQPlayer… ;) HQplayer can be used in Roon as a player/zone, so interface is still Roon. Sound of this „Solution“ in the Antipodes-dashboard is up to 9. I use this also (and at the moment) for my favorite radio-Station „Radio Paradise“ and...

    The Initial Impact of the K22 & K41 On My Life

    I agree, that „Sueeze-Player with Roon-Server“ and even “Squeeze (Auto)“ sound better then „Roon (Auto)“. On my K50 and in the setup I would rate the sound of „Roon (Auto)“ to 3 (from 1 as „low“ to 10 as „high“) and „Squeeze (Auto)“ / „Squeeze-Player with Roon-Server“ both to 5. But you...

    Dear @Hydrology Have you already been able to gather your first impressions of the T+A combination? I would be very pleased to hear your feedback, as I am also interested in the 200 series. Thanks a lot. atb, Tom

    Looking to buy a new turntable / any suggestions (12k budget incl. Tonarm and Cartridge)

    For the budget, I would recommend a StSt Motus DQ II with Sorane SA-1.2 tonearm and Allnic Rose cartridge in the HS-1A headshell. This combination has been running here for almost a year and I am very satisfied. Alternatively, a Dynavector DRT XV-1s fits the SA-1.2. Good luck with your...

    Had some „trouble“ on several LPs on the Sorane SA-1.2 - so I mounted the Colibri today on the DPS3: Now the records, which have jumped on the StSt, run through without any problems. Sound is awesome atb, Tom

    Sound of Sorane/Abis tonearms

    Hello Peter, i have currently the SA-1.2 in use and have had the TA-1 in the past on the DDX-1500 from MicroSeiki. The TA and also the SA are „middle“ tonarms about 15 gr. effective weight (I suggest). In my setup, the TA-1 works well with ART9, Jico Seto Hori and AS Fidelis - but the arm is...
