Agreed. No major drawback from using TV as the hub provided that eArc is functioning properly. In fact I would say that the purist...

To be fair, I did have everything going to the TV with ARC to the AVR for a while. This was because I had a new TV and an older AVR...

That's how I do it, blueray player into TV, TV apps, e-ARC into my Yamaha AVR. Which does not work reliably with my Samsung TV so end up...

Very nice post alround rndenny, and the preamp too.

For me, yeah. Although not the need but the ability. Or try out new carts or loading if I want to tweak the sound. Or listen to...

phono cartridge measurement library

The spreadsheet is here. 3 graphs: distribution of SPDI std dev (how smooth the directivity is): Histogram of horizontal...

Perhaps @pierre could post a .csv or similar with the computed directivity value of each speaker, then we could run some analysis to see...

Just so you can see the distortion products, which seems to be a good gauge of stylus wear at the treble frequencies.

I ordered this, but it only seems to support 48kHz 16 bit. I was hoping for 96kHz to use for LP cart measurement, but 48 is the only...

Indeed! bounce has never been an issue here, maybe I an lucky, maybe the SME V, wow is 0.05% peak, same as Technics 1200

I use a Michell Gyro SE. The entire TT is a balancing act of nutso tension management. "Okay, I got it level, but now it bounces more...

its actually about $3000 on the seller's china page. at 6k it'd be silly not going for the others measured here

I would hope it is good, at US$6000.

Yep, like an updated DPA-1 (which I still have) with streaming etc
