TL;DR: The Wellfleet is a nice upgrade to the Moonstone. All the good of the Moonstone with more refinement. I swapped the Moonstone stylus for the Wellfleet and have about 15+ hours of listening time on it. At this point I’ll say it’s a definite improvement over the Moonstone in terms of high...

That looks awesome. Do you have specs or plans for the build?

Roon will reindex your files if you move them around. I would move all the files onto a single drive and then have another drive for backup bs spreading them out over multiple drives.

My music library is on a 2TB external drive. I have another drive as a backup. It’s connected via USB to my Mac Mini.

@Mather is this your delivery?

BlueJean and WBC FTW!

I picked up a BHK last year during the PS Audio closeout sale. I’ve been very pleased with it. Still using the stock Psvane Art tubes haven’t been tempted to roll tubes (yet). Enjoy!

The BHK is a winner. Enjoy!

DJ looked like Eli. Dart is from Mississippi. Of course it’s a fit. Desperation move. Maybe they get lucky and Dart turns out to be good.

@Joe Mac I bit the bullet and ordered an Acoustand Delrin platter and bearing upgrade for my DC EVO. Should arrive in 60 days. TL/DR: I decided instead of buying a new TT, I’m going to see if I can max out the performance of my DC EVO. Including a new cart, I’m looking at around $900 in...

The use case is a Decware Rachel tube amps. 6-8 watts. Forte should be good with those. I’m also considering some open baffle speakers.

You got me rethinking my lust for the Cornwall IV. I need to go and check out both in person again. I did many years ago, but I need to see/hear them again and think about what’s easier to get up to my office and be ideal for my 17’ x 17’ space.

I think the lifetime price was in the $500 USD range before, but don’t quote me. As far as settings, I leave it stock. No upsampling. I let Roon handle any needed adjustments depending on the device I’m streaming to. I do use the Crossfade and EQ settings when listening to headphones.

The SADE box set is great!

I found the sound improvement to be noteworthy when using Roon vs the delivered Qobuz app on my EverSolo DMP-A8.
