| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Why…is it too difficult to remove the cover? Should just slide into and out of the mounts on the back. | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? I have a U1 Mini and it’s an excellent streamer. I went from AURALiC Aries G1 to Lumin and preferred the sound of Lumin. In looking at new features in U2 Mini it’s mostly about processing and upsampling and new finish for the case. I never care... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? What you’re describing is a product of turntable not being perfectly level, antiskate is not properly set and VTF isn’t right. First and foremost, make sure the table is level - remove the cover, use adjustable feet or coins under the feet and ch... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm 8 days later and you are exactly where you started. You have a broken or poorly designed component or the combination of the two. You should reach out to the person you bought it from and start working thru some sort of resolution. If it’s... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Got it! I just went through a DAC upgrade myself. Ended up with a Bricasti M3. Years ago I had an Audio Research CD3 MkII CD player running it with ARC LS-25 preamp, Pass X250.5 amp and B&W N803. I sold the CD3 MkII when I went with a comput... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu just curious, have you tried the Warm “orange” filter on the Qutest? I remember when I had the Qutest I really liked the sweeter sound that engaging the Warm filter produced. | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm There's an interesting point about the ARC though. When I changed the tubes (it's mk1), uses 4 pieces of 6922, the noise was picked up by the ARC too. It was just very quiet and only when the cage was opened. Are you changing tubes w... | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions @grateful_dad one thing to consider is that in your $5000 price range (and even above) it’s unlikely you will get a DAC with a built in preamp that will be better than a dedicated preamp. I would focus on a DAC first and not worry too much about t... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Nice! Looking forward to your thoughts on this new table! | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @grislybutter think about the new turntable that’s en route and stop being so sensitive. what cartridge did you opt for on your RT85? | |
| Buzzing in Speaker while Playing CDs What king of buzzing noise? Can you describe it? You can run a simple test. 1. Take the left channel from your dac and feed the right channel on your amp/preamp with it. Does the buzzing follow the cable and is now in the right speaker? 2. Swap t... | |
| Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply? @tuberist Send it to Amir and find out exactly how badly you got screwed with this DAC. You could’ve just bought a $99 Chinese reference DAC that measures perfectly. Also, don’t forget to dig into that storage bin to pull some basic audio cables t... | |
| Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply? ASR created a following of minions who like their opinions to be formed for them by someone else. Amir’s tests and measurements are questionable as he strives to “debunk” the high end “myths” and that’s how he gets his subcribers/audience. In most... | |
| Zavfino @juanmanuelfangioii nice system and a good write up! Thanks for this! Funny…I was looking at the Arcadia for the analog portion of my system as well, a link between my Sutherland KC Vibe MkII phono stage and the Pass XP-12 where BlueJeans RCAs ar... | |
