Added the third tonearm.  The custom Acoustand tonearm base has arrived and the SME 3012r is an intriguing addition.  The mass of the arm allows the Miyajima Zero to present my mono albums with add...

Nice system and room.  Had Spendor D9s with my Diablo 300 for a very enjoyable year.  You have received some excellent advice.

Added a system ground (SR Active Ground Block SE).  Reduced some background noise that I did not really notice while listening until it was removed.  The odd thing is that it exposed opportunities<...

The Hyperion is now rebuilt with the MR option.  About 100 sides now played and it is all I hoped it could be in its new form.  Thank you Peter.

Beautiful system and setup.  I  currently use a Diablo 300 with Rockport Mira II speakers.  Gryphon and Rockport perform with a special synergy IMO.  Enjoy!

Rockport Mira II have replaced the Spendor D9s.  Beautiful tone and a cohesive presentation top to bottom.

Added the Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE to the system tonight.  Enjoying the clarity and increased soundstage it is providing.

The Sablon 2020 USB cable has been an extremely positive addition to the system. Also picked up some Synergistic Research Carbon Tuning Discs at the Florida Audio Expo a week ago.  Having  a lot of...

The difference that I perceived between the Enterprise C and mk4 was an increase in the small aural cues that helped define the space around the music better.  I would guess this would be a darker ...

Added a pair of Audio Note AN-E Spe HE speakers to the system.  Once they found a spot that adequately engaged the room the sound they present is sublime.  Even at very low volume bass is properly ...
