| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? Redglobe,I'm not going to claim categorically that "local technicians" cannot repair equipment, but I personally neither know "local technicians," nor would trust anyone with equipment that is not your typical run-of-the-mill piece of electronics.... | |
| How many with analog rigs only? Once I successfully negotiated the master bedroom as my listening room, I didn't bother to keep the CD player in my system. I do have a few CDs from ECM that I miss listening to, but otherwise haven't looked back. So count me in. | |
| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? And what happens when something breaks? Are you going to send it back to China? | |
| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? Kennyman,The BC23 is no longer in production, so it appears you can only get it used. Was that your plan? I don't have any experience with this unit, but I know a super friendly Blue Circle Audio dealer in LA who, I'm sure, would be more than happ... | |
| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? Kennyman,I have the Camelot Technologies Lancelot phono preamp that retails for $1,200 or more these days I believe. It's a battery operated, dual mono, passive RIAA, and accommodates both MM and MC cartridges. Fremer loved it when he reviewed it ... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Good to hear, Pani. Always a tricky thing with pieces of gear you can't readily audition in your system. Keep us posted on the Delos. | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Pani,I'd suggest you give the cart a bit longer to break in, even though mine sounded great right out of the box, but even better after it broke in. I'm not familiar with the other cartridges you listed, but the Delos sounds very well balanced to ... | |
| Optimum MM cartridge loading Dhl93449$6000 is "affordable"?I guess I live on another planet.My thoughts exactly.I guess if you compare it to the Boulders or Ypsilons out there, but those are not expensive; they are absurdly expensive. Either way, $6000 is certainly objectivel... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Rachael Price. In my opinion, by far one of the best female jazz singers currently recording. Her rendition of "You Go to My Head" makes me weak in the knees. The sultriness of her voice is incredibly sexy and enticing. That's what singing jazz is... | |
| Active FETs vs. Step-up phono stage designs Dan_ed,Everyone's opinion is more than welcomed :)Your comment about optimization is one of the issues that I was thinking of as well. It seemed to me it would pose a bit of a challenge in designing a phono stage that utilized step-up transformers... | |
| Active FETs vs. Step-up phono stage designs Atmasphere,Would it be correct to say all-tube phono preamps are rather rare? | |
| Active FETs vs. Step-up phono stage designs Dan_ed,I'm genuinely interested in what those in the know, or more knowledgeable than me, have to say about these different approaches to phono stage design. But certainly I'm also hoping that the discussion would assist me with my selection. Audi... | |
| Active FETs vs. Step-up phono stage designs Bumping the thread as it was posted over the weekend hoping there is some discussion to be had regarding the topic. | |
| Stylus Drag The audibility of any drag really depends on the tableIf you can hear stylus drag on an otherwise accurate table, you most likely posses superhuman auditory abilities, or you simply think you hear it, but you really don't. The great majority of pe... | |
