Yes, those are stainless hooks. The barrel does a good job regulating temps - you have to set the opening at the bottom of the barrel correctly. The meat drips into the coals providing extra flavor to the smoke. Easiest smoker to run and clean - I have tried them all except for the pellet...

This works quite well. I don't bother with test tracks anymore as the technique shown works so well.

I'd get the MP-500 replacement if I liked the cartridge enough.

How much to replace the stylus?

From my experience, the Hana SL likes gain in the area of 60 db. I looked up the JD9 and the gains at different settings are not real clear. Then I looked up the limited schematic info available and I believe have an understanding of your pops and clicks. The JD9 is using the tubes as output...

DAC’s are pretty good nowadays. Since the price for terrific performance is so inexpensive, perhaps it is more constructive to get the feature set desired. If all you need is PCM, then any of the Schiit products will work fine. Need DSD? JDS Labs comes to mind - as well as a whole bunch of...

Pit Barrel Cooker Prime Rib today. https://pitbarrelcooker.com/blogs/food/killer-prime-rib-recipe In about 2 hours.....

The Denafrips actually measured pretty good, so you are good on paper and real life! I have heard a couple of the DCS offerings- Bartok and the next model up. The Bartok sounded alright when using a hard drive for a source but for some reason sounded very “harsh” when streaming. The next...

I recently did a Hana SL comparison to a AT VM95SH and they are very very close to the same frequency response with similar imaging. Says a lot as to how good an inexpensive AT cartridge can be.

Question - who is using 768K PCM files?

It is not "gospel", although there are some that treat it as such. If you can get past some of "posturing", there is some good information. Knowing the "noise floor" of an amp or preamp can be useful in narrowing down choices to audition. I just bought a pair of $25 IEM's - 7HZ / Crinacle...

From today's bike ride - yes, he has his own seat.

Too many cats - nothing against cats.

I was just wondering if some of the members names had some stories behind the name choices? Mine seems rather mundane by comparison!

The only way that could work would be to use the Waxwings CD level function and no phono equalization. Completely useless since you are not taking advantage of the perfect RIAA equalization available in the Waxwing. You would be doing an ADC of whatever the analog phono stage was doing...

I would have to go back and forth a few times, taking time to level match outputs to be sure. I may have convinced myself the Modius is perhaps better. Best thing for you would be to try it both ways and see. If there is a difference, it is not much. The main reason I use the digital out to...

Science nerd from Florida here - I mean Bob from Florida. First, Waxwing is my main phono stage. The Zen is my backup in case of failure. I have used the analog outputs on the Waxwing with no issues. I currently use the optical out into my Schiit Modius DAC and switch the selector from USB...

I have Waxwing SN 16 - early adopter - it is a stellar phono stage. My list of phono stages include - CJ PV7, Lazarus, an old PS Audio preamp, Cary SLP 74, Musical Surroundings Phonomena 2+, Ifi Zen phono, Luxman 507 ux2 integrated, and now the Waxwing. The Zen, Luxman, and Waxwing win the -...

Central Florida. I can see this is going to be an interesting group to interact with! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
