| Streamer options If you have DSD files that you will be accessing thru streamer (nas storage, etc), just know the Bluesound does not support. If non DSD, the Node is great for the money. I no longer have mine because I have all my SACDs ripped. | |
| New Yamaha A-S3200 Integrated Amp ?. I'm actually thinking of going integrated. The Yamaha checks all the boxes for me. Meters (I love meters), tone controls, balanced inputs and outputs. I'm not really interested in an onboard phono...however...nice it's there | |
| PS Audio BHK owners I have the BHK pre and Firstwatt J2 (very low gain). I'm usually listening at 50+ on the meter. Last night I was cranking Moving Pictures and had the sucker at 80....amazing sound...clear as a bell | |
| New Yamaha A-S3200 Integrated Amp ?. Stereophile just did one. I'll have to read it again...I didn't get the feeling that Jason Victor Serinus was thrilled with it. | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? I've read numerous reviews in forums, etc that The HPA4 is quiet as a mouse and gets out of the way | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? Nice review of the Benchmark in the latest Absolute Sound | |
| Smoothest and best sounding turntable/cartridge combo up to $1600?? Get a Technics 1200/1210 GR and a Ortofon RED. Then upgrade the cartridge as you get funds. The Technics will last a lifetime | |
| PS Audio BHK lacking.. Also check the tube voltage thing switch inside (see owners manual). Make sure they match the voltage of the tube that's is installed. | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS johnto---I agree. If you got the cash, Japan makes some great components as well. | |
| Primaluna EVO 400 vs. stock Cary SLP-05 preamp? Good choice imo. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Komi64How are the Pass and J2 different and similar in sound? I have a j2 and love it. I may upgrade to Pass 60 watt monos | |
| I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo The Ortofon Expression was used for this marketing review from an audio store.https://www.criterionaudio.com/2019/05/22/technics-sl-1000r-vs-sl-1200g-turntable-shoot/ | |
| Who Has the New Top Technics SL1200GRE? Does it blow your other expensive tables away? Am I correct you can order some VPI TT's with a Gimble Tone Arm? | |
| I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo I agree the SME version is interesting. I am actually surprised Technics has not re branded a Concorde cartridge to market to many of their users (both DJ and Audiophiles). | |
| I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo Neat to know that the original was MC. I'm surprised, with all the new general consumer TT buyers, Plug in Play cartridges has not made a comeback. I guess with so many entry-level tables delivered with cartridges installed, it may be a mute point. |
