    Pops and tics are the nature of vinyl, even when cleaned and static free, thus I have abandoned vinyl for High Resolution Apple Music, which completely satisfies with its very lifelike sound.

    I'm 60 now, been collecting vinyl since I was 7, I love the sleeves, and the fun of collecting, but you know why I'll always prefer CD's, blu ray audio etc? Way better channel separation. As for static, can't say it's something I suffer badly from, but I bought an arc rechargeable lighter for 6 quid, and if a record is sticking to an inner sleeve a little, this gets rid of it.

    Tried the Mini but was limited by both inputs and outputs! Did notice on Spotify as difference in both spatial and high end definition! When listening to reed instruments the breath sounds came through on a few recordings. Ended up with the WiiM Pro Plus and am quite happy! I also bought through Kickstarter the new Mono Fosi monoblocks (2) with the single 48volt 5amp power supply! I use a pair of Chartwell LS3/5a’s from 1978 and a pair,of IMF TLS 80’s which are 4-8 ohms. from the same period. I’m hoping that they can be driven by the Fosi as the Chartwell are 15ohms. I’ll just wait and see as Fosi said shipping starts in June this year. For $US 223.00 with shipping for the pair of amps and one power supply it could be a bargain to say the least for an amp output,of 240watts @ 4 ohms and 120watts at 8ohms. Even more power if you buy the 48volt 10amp power supply.

    He's a very good presenter .so good that it illustrates the hair splitting differences that audiophiles listen for. this is fine if that's what is interesting to a person but the tendency then becomes to listen to separated individual sounds at the expense of a fully immersive experience where the individual sounds , the sound stage , airiness , highs ,mids , lows , all disappear into a blended whole that is the mysterious thing we call music. some of my favorite listening experiences , outside of the live performance , came form a late 1960s $300 stereo system . The system provided about ten percent of the input while the brain provided the remaining level of joy . yes , it MIGHT have sounded even better with a top notch systems , but ?
