Nice, congrats! I love USM Haller and I love that photo (I use it as my Zoom virtual background). I almost went a similar route but needed something a little deeper and ended up with a custom Case Study unit + Vitsoe shelves (wanted to do full Vitsoe but those weren't quite deep enough either).

I've had a Stellar Phono since April 2020 and it replaced a Parasound JC3 Jr.. I wasn't seriously looking to replace my phono preamp at the time but the Fremer review had just come out and then PS Audio was offering a discount. With their in-home trial thing, I thought it'd be worth a listen...

Yeah, I reached out to them a while back and they sent me the new switch and instructions. I just never went through changing it out. Sorry to hear you've had all those issues; I know it's a pain to deal with and puts a damper on using it. At the end of the day, I really like my Ultradeck but...

That's awesome! I noticed something a couple of weeks ago; not sure if this is just a coincidence but I moved my Integrated (Primaluna EVO 100) closer to the Ultradeck and the Ultradeck started doing the shut-off thing again. I moved them further apart and it hasn't happened again (knock on...

I reached out to Alvin @ Vinshine and he recommended the Audioquest NRG Y-3 for the Pontus II. Made a substantial difference compared to a "standard" power cable. FYI, I had an AQ NRG Z-3 lying around and couldn't hear a difference between the Y & Z. I'd suggest reaching out to Alvin and seeing...

My house is around the same age as yours...I'm not sure what they did when they fed the wires through my walls but they were covered in plaster or paint or something? I switched my outlet to the Audioquest one and don't hear any difference, haha. When I switched out my power cords, I heard a...

Nice! I love my Pontus II!

I was having the same shut-down issue with my UltraDeck. I reached out to MoFi and the service manager there told me he'd heard/seen maybe five cases of it, but that he thinks he knew what the issue was. This is when my TT was still under warranty so he gave me the option of sending it in or he...

Ha, same here. After my first use, wish I'd bought it sooner!

Hi @dbarila, I bought my refurbished Parasound HINT 6 from them a couple of years ago. I wasn't sure how legit they were 'cause of their cheesy name/branding, but they shipped it out super fast and everything came looking great. I'd buy from them again!

I've used Soundiiz - Transfer playlists and favorites between different streaming services to transfer playlists.

Hi, does anyone want a 60-day trial of Roon? I received one with a new "streamer" (an opticalRendu Lite) but can't use it since it's only for new customers. DM me for the code.

Haha, yeah, sorry. I was initially going to get the Ares II because I'd read/watched reviews saying it was more musical, warm, and "analog-like" and that the Pontus II was more analytical, but then more recently, I started seeing reviews that it was similar but just "better" (might've been...

Hi @MikeH, I recently bought the Denafrips Pontus II and have it hooked up to my Bluesound Node 2i as the streamer (will replace the Node 2i with a Lumin U1 Mini next year and also get rid of Roon). I'm using it with Roon and streaming via Tidal, Qobuz, & Spotify. I waited 6 weeks for mine and...

Wow, small world! Yeah, I love the fact that every time I've been in there, people are always dropping by to say "hi" or he's usually just chatting with someone.

Wow, thanks for sharing your experience...gives me some comfort knowing I'm not the only one. That's interesting that you reached out to them and had a similar conversation with them. The person I spoke with said it was the first he'd heard of such a thing. I was a little taken aback by that. I...

Same here; use the MoFi Heavyweight.

Hi @BobPM, My limited experience with cables (including power cables) has been that it really seems system-dependent. For example, I tried the Pangea AC 9SE MKII and AC 14SE MKII on my Parasound HINT 6 and Parasound JC 3 Jr. phono pre. When I first installed them, I was blown away by how much...

Hi @McGlam, Ooh, I'll have to check out Supervinyl next time I'm in that area. At Commonwave, I think I only saw one Ultradeck on display, but now that I think about it, I think he has it in one of his Instagram pics as well. I auditioned the Devore O/96s there and that was a big big mistake.

Hi @McGlam, I think you said you weren't too far from Audio Element? I was just there two weekends ago and they had MoFi Ultradecks as part of their "turntable bar". Also saw Regas as well (though I don't know which models) so would be an easy comparison for you. My local HiFi dealer and where...
