| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 @mastering92 I agree with you! I should definitely read less and reduce my chances of coming across something as dumb as your comments. | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 @jaytor doesn’t PS Audio offer a trade in? Best to get the P12 into your system and audition it against the P3. That’s the only way to know. Power is a funny beast. And if you like the P12, send the P3 to PS Audio as a trade in. May be worth looki... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 Here’s the calcuation: Power Plant 3 x 4 = P12. So 4 times better audio quality for you. @mastering92 read more and post less. | |
| Getting back in the game Unless you have a large collection of records, focus on digital only. If you pursue both the analog and digital, you’ll end up neither here nor there. Add a turntable after you’ve happy with your digital front end and you have achieved a good degr... | |
| I need help to decide What preamp are you using? | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @jimmy2615 agreed 100%. It’s very system a d component dependent. I do not find hurricane bass heavy or muddy on my amp or preamp. The bass is textured and fast. Great clarity and seductive mids. Voice reproduction is superb. But…I haven’t yet he... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. Can’t argue that MoFi, despite scandal, know how to put out a great sounding record (DSD file used as a source). Analog Productions and other Acoustic Sounds series releases are pure analog and sound excellent. So there are good and bad examples.... | |
| Quobuz subscription Qobuz 24/192 example - Burn to Shine by Ben Harper Tidal MQA 352.8 example - Clique by Patricia Barber. If you’re not seeing anything over 96 on Qobuz then either your dac/streamer combo is downsampling it or something is wrong with your set up. | |
| KT120 replacement options in a Cronus Magnum II Don’t mix tubes. Just replace the bad KT120, bias it to spec and you’re good to go. | |
| Quobuz subscription @czarivey so I compared Qobuz to Tidal using the “Finger Dancin” track off the “Man with the guitar” album. Tidal version does sound a but more open and fuller than Qobuz version and makes it seem like Qobuz is slightly duller. The difference is ... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 @classicalguy starting price point for a phono stage to match that set up should be at least $2000. McIntosh MP100, Sutherland. Up from there is Pass, Audio Research etc The quality of your phono stage is extremely critical. Worry about component... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 @vonhelmholtz Audiogon prohibits @jasonbourne52 from posting his system out of fear of blowing out cloud storage. Plus @jasonbourne52 will spend the remainder of his life just typing all that 💩 in. If he sold off his collection I bet he could gath... | |
| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC I have the M3 and like it a lot. Pretty sure this DAC will be awesome. | |
| Quobuz subscription @czarivey what album/tracks are you referring to? And yes I agree some albums sound better on Tidal and some albums are only available on Tidal. | |
| Quobuz subscription Time to come out of the bomb shelter @jasonbourne52 |
