I know what you mean. I was thinking we should start taking bets on how long it will take to turn @dwayner to the dark side… Digital. 🕶 I have been going back and forth between the Bartók and MK2 tonight. They both sound so good. ---

Good morning. I do love both. Vinyl & Digital are great quality and as long it’s great quality. I love the sound of vinyl and I guess it goes to one’s preference. I love the sound. ---

RF interference might be the issue but I do have good RCA cables. I’ll have to move things around to see what happens and try moving this beast to any interference of components near by. ---

I prefer (and might be quieter) XLR cables, if you have the opportunity give them a chance. ---

Is that some sort of router in the photo to the left of your TT? If so, is it possible to move it? They are typically noisy. ---

I’m feeling a sort of spy now… watching at the pic… sorry for that but is a computer case the box under the SPP shelf? ---

I was wondering that too. There may be a need to relocate or at least get some distance from the noisy electronics. ---

Sorry for the mess I’ve got going here lol Under the desk where the Stellar is on is stack of records I’ve been going through. Older electronic/dance/rock records ranging from 90’s - 2000’s. On the left I have a usb light, then large usb light that’s above the TT. Right side you’ll see grey and white wires going up to the main floor for service for the TV (My service provider box was connected at the time to these wires). WIFI is also in the basement but in a different room. I’ll have to rearrange things around to see what comes of it. With the TT on, SPP on, I cranked up the Recording Level to 100% to see how much noise it produced. It read on the meter little over -51 at the highest. I didn’t go any higher. ---
