review iPhono 2
bacobits1:That will work. It may use a LM317 regulator which is not the best as it relates to noise. I am not sure if it uses that part but the description referred to a chip for the regualtion (if I recall the ad correctly) and the LM317 is ubqui...

smrex13:So what happens is that the coolness (like a type sterility) that SMPS's impart on the overall sound of systems is removed. I don't care how quiet (low ripple voltage) a SMPS may be, they always always dump high frequency hash back on the ...

Elinor:Ok, first and foremost your moniker is the name of an awesome car and if I could get past my obsession with air cooled 911's and my very special custom 944 Turbo I'd own that mustang :)You are correct about people getting past the price. It...

robelvick:You are welcome, I am glad it was of help to you :) One other thing I failed to mention is that the iPhone 2 responds extremely well to vibrational treatments. I don't understand how something so low in weight can be so affected by what ...

lewm:No problem with the questions. Obvious what may work in one system may not be right for another. I do have some great tube gear but the iPhono and iTube were both designed to be simpatico. I would at least try it. One fellow here took my advi... 
review iPhono 2
lewm:Thank you for the compliment :) I have been using the iTube in various ways since the first generation. When used as a true tube buffer, i.e. no gain, analog volume control disengaged no XBass or 3D all of which both work very well, the unit ...

Greg:Concerning the form factor, yeah its not ideal but it is very functional and allows iFi to maintain the same casing thus saving us money as they don't have to tool up for a different design. I just simply place my unit behind other gear on th...

Greg:You are welcome. I really appreciate it when people take time to earnestly review pieces that I may be interested in purchasing. For instance, I have been scouring the web for any reviews of the Audio Technica ART1000 MC direct power cartridg... 
$5,000 to spend for analog front end - advice please...:)
Purchase a Technics SL-1200G, a Denon 103r, LP Zupreme 15gram headshell and an iPhono 2 and iTube 2 and you will be set for a very very long time. You could spend many tens of thousands more than this combination of products (which I'm using right...

Jbhiller:Your analogy of the table sounding like it couldn't loosen its top button when it is in auto mode is a perfect description! 
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
Mr. Fremer just revealed which table was playing in the comparison of the GAE and the Caliburn. I correctly identified the GAE in the fist YouTube video he posted. Mr. Fremer wrote:"The file labels were not reversed in this story!In this case the ...

I realized I left an incomplete statement when I wrote: "It is interesting when I read the comments about the styling of the table, as a watch guy I've read statements by other WIS (watch idiot savants :) folks concerning the Grand Seiko line."I i... 
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
Jbhiller:You should  still hear the same level of "boogie and drive" with the unit in manual mode.Concerning the design, I love  it. In some ways the jewel like precision and construction reminds me of some of my GS Seiko watches. Absolutely some ...
