| Unidentifiable popping sound Thanks so much for the replies everybody. Lots of good thoughts and suggestions for me to experiment with here (and some solid jokes). @wolverine1 I'm really curious to see if this is the same sound you heard with the bridge. Is there any way I co... | |
| Unidentifiable popping sound @fuzztone good call. will try that. @audioquest4life Nagra is very, very good at QC and it happened with both the tubes that came with the Jazz (picked it up pre-owned), and with new ones I got directly from Nagra. If it is the preamp, I'm not sur... | |
| Nagra dillema I still haven't heard the integrated, but don't doubt it's greatness. I did go for the Classic Amp and the Jazz in the end, and do not regret it one single bit. It's a really special combination. | |

I have an outboard Yggy, so I plan to run it through that. The Mini, for me, is a wee bit too unreliable in my particular house/setup etc. I haven’t ... | |
| Finding source of sibilance It could also be the phono stage perhaps? It’s the Pro-Jext Tube Box DS. Digital sources through a streamer > DAC sound good. | |
| Finding source of sibilance Clearaudio states that these tables arrive setup in a foolproof way so that no further adjustment is needed once it leaves the factory. All I personally did was attach the cartridge. Nothing else in my system has this issue, i.e. digital sources. ... | |
| Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs Thanks everybody. I think for now I'll keep the Schiit. I haven't really given it a fair chance in 15 days, and I can always sell it down the road if it lets me down. Bel Canto seems like a good move to make if it comes to that. |
