| Turntable/arm short list suggestions, please. Thanks to one, thanks to all. I have recently disposed of the Sonic Line 2. I have instead added a Kora Eclipse pre/phono with a Ensemble Megaflux power cable along with a Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm for my table. I will keep the Black Cube for ... | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list Well, Tube777, be that as it may, I have decided to go with my purchase today of a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 to pair with the McCormack. Perhaps I will someday decide to resell it all and change everything, who knows. :-) I do know that I will enjoy ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Thanks to all. The intent of my original post was to determine what need be done to account for the "inverse phasing" of a preamp (subsequently clarified to note that what they should REALLY say is reversed polarity). And, I now know that the conn... | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list Thanks to all. A couple more to consider for the shortlist. I am curious as to no mention from anyone of Audio Research gear. (?) | |
| Phase inverting preamps Gee, and here I thought I was the only one confused! :-) As I understand things so far, if you have a preamp that has inversed phasing (polarity), one must "flip-flop" traditional connections at the SPEAKER posts (i.e. positive to negative and neg... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Thanks, Phild. Does this in any way compromise sound quality? And, why would the maker of a preamp produce a unit that inverts phasing? Is there something specific they are trying to achieve that is negated by reversing the phasing elsewhere? Seem... | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list BTW, I am not totally married to buying a tube pre. If anyone can suggest a SS pre that has characteristics that would match well with the McCormack, I am willing to give them a listen, too. Someone once suggested Bryston to me. | |

| Need advice in coming out from the analog dead Where are you Rock? I will personally come pickup those nasty, noisy old LP's from you and haul them away for nothing! | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? You know, record cleaning and care tips seem to be all over the board. I even once had an audio dealer tell me NOT to clean old records if they didn't "LOOK" dirty because cleaning them would only make them sound worse! I truly believe that most t... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp for Sonus Faber Concertino-Please For what it is worth, I just auditioned both the Sonus Faber and Aerial 8's last week. The Aerials won out by many miles. | |
| Sugden in US? Ben - How do feel about the EAR products? A local shop here really pushes both the Sugden and EAR stuff.. | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks At the risk of sounding incredibly naive (which I probably am), how does the expensive rack systems help the sound quality of one's setup? Please note that am excluding all front end (i.e. TT and CD units) from this question since the needs in thi... | |
| Need advice in coming out from the analog dead My brain hurts! :-)Perhaps, given that the only other front end I plan to use in this system is a Phillips CD (for occasional play and burning), I might want to consider an integrated amp with a better quality phono stage. (?) YAB? Cary? Bow Wazoo? | |
| Need advice in coming out from the analog dead Let me say that I very much appreciate all the input so far. I should apoligize upfront for my "shot in the dark" sounding inquiry. After 20 years "out of the game" I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of choices currently available and the wide r... |
