Mike, so many questions. Is the preamp New and in need of break in, have you heard the Blue point prior to hearing it with this pre, is the cart set up properly? I will say that the phono stage of the Modulas is really why you buy it and if the other inputs are outperforming it there is something wrong and would look directly at the Blue point, might be time to upgrade.
Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp?
Hello,
re: Audible Illusions M3B...I feel the built-in phono input is not as dynamic as the other line stages, CD,DAT,etc.
The volume is much lower but more importantly the dynamics are reduced and do not improve with an increase of volume. Yes it gets louder but it's missing something.
I am using a mid-priced Pro-ject TT with Sumiko Bluepoint 2 MC cartridge, 2.5mV.
Although not the best stuff ,i still feel a a little disappointed. Would an external phono preamp resolve this issue?
Or i am expecting too much from vinyl?
thanks guys
mike
ps: this preamp otherwise is spectacular!!!!!
