| Audioquest Storm Series power cables As some say, you are hearing the power supply...might as well feed it well.... | |
| Hear me out ;-) Moving from Integrated Tube Amp to a Class D Beat me to the punch, the Rogue Sphinx is the answer. Those small preamp tubes typically last thousands of hours. You will retain the tubey sound plus get the power of the class D without the heat. It’s a very well designed Amp, despite what Amir ... | |

| Choosing the right SUT for my setup Here is an excerpt from Jensen Tranformers website.... Once connected, the Jensen moving coil step-up transformer (SUT) is best described as a passive signal amplifier that does not color the tone or add artificial flavor. It is made for the p... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup Using a high quality passive SUT is the best way to step up a low output moving coil cartridge, run into the moving magnet section of a phono preamp, especially a tubed phono preamp, of which most use electronics to step up the voltage in mc mode.... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup @artemus_5 yeah, I have 2 SUT’s, same as those that have numerous amps (which I do) and speakers (own 5 pairs) and turntables (currently own 6).... different components do different things. I’m not about to unsolder resistors on a relatively new S... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup Guess it comes down to do what ever sounds good to you. I tried it both ways...sounds better with SUT in the chain. The extra cable is very low capacitance...makes no difference or detriment to sound. Also, I did not pull any of this from my A$$... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup SUT’s do not have universal loading, meaning that just because a SUT is a 1/10 version does not necessarily mean the cartridge will see 470 ohms. Here is an example, my Jensen mc-2rr-L has a 430 ohm impedance that the cartridge will see, while my ... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables I use an AQ storm series Thunder power cable. I've noticed my system seems quieter, with a more black back drop, also a small increase in dynamics. It is plugged into my sugden class A, the other end into the AQ Niagara 1200. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I do not see an issue spending several hundred on an audiophile receptacle. In most cases, you are only buying one, and you only have to buy it once. For a few hundred bucks, even if it is just providing peace of mind that I’m using the best, it i... | |
| Question about speaker angle Tannoy recommends pretty extreme toe-in. I own a pair and I have them toed in as much is possible in their current location. To me, they sound very good this way. | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Michael Fremer did a little test whereas he played his copy of The Who Tommy kept in a tattered record jacket that he has played hundreds of times. The test proves that records are virtually indestructible if taken care of. It sounded as good as d... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? @jagjag how are you liking those jbl 4309's? Do you find them fatiguing in anyway? Also, how is the sibilance on vocals? I'd imagine that with the AT540 and the 4309's it would be quite bright....been reading about those 4309's...the price is reas... | |
| Almost equality Do you have the Cyrus Cdt? That is what I bought. Have not installed yet, still using my Marantz hdcd1 as transport. | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Just to add to my previous response, some make more fuss than there needs to be about collecting and especially the playing of vinyl. With all that is available today, records, turntables, countless cleaning machines, brushes, protractors, etc...i... |
