Higher Impedance MC Carts on Transimpedance Stages?
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the thread so far. The explanations and the equations provided are very helpful in understanding how to find a good match. @hagtech, I'm curious to your response on lewm's reply as I can see where the way... 
Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations
@brylandgoodman I’m a good friend of Vlad’s and know his amps well, and have had experience with your preamp once. I’ve advocated a lot for the Joseph Audio Pulsars in past threads, but I should ask - do you plan to put the bookshelves on stands... 
Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix RCA Interconnects and Digital Coax Cables
I used Graphene Matrix RCAs, XLR, Speaker, Coax and AES digital cables when they first came out. They’re very nice for the price, especially on the used market. It was at a time when I wanted something to compare to Synergistic Research Atmosphere... 
Scansonic "Q" series
@yukio Give me a few days to burn them in, but I did receive them yesterday and set them up to run in for a few nights. Out of the box they sound lovely. Very punchy and articulate, images well, with a richer mid bass and midrange. Interestingly,... 
I need a extension cord with
@curiousjim I just PM’ed you with details and links for what goes into the distributor I built that Fred recently bought since I no longer needed it for myself. I don’t typically make this a product for sale, but I’m happy to build one for you at ... 
T+A DAC200 vs PSAudio Direct Stream MkII vs MCD12000?
@mhwilliford I have a number of clients that have purchased both the N200 and DAC 200 on my counsel. It’s a popular combination that sounds excellent. They also look great together as their form factors are similar.  Personally I prefer the N200 ... 
T+A DAC200 vs PSAudio Direct Stream MkII vs MCD12000?
I haven’t heard the PS Audio DSD Mk II, but I had a very heavily modified MK I as I was one of those on the PS Audio Forums that made every improvement possible, including the upgraded Edcor transformers, external power supply board with a Farad S... 
Scansonic "Q" series
I am a Scansonic and Margules dealer and heard the Q10 at AXPONA powered by the Margules I-240. It was very good and makes for a richer, fuller sound compared to the MB-B series, especially in the midbass and midrange. I liked the sound so much bu... 
I need a extension cord with
What’s your budget? I have build really, really good ones with very thick aluminum chassis and SR Purple duplexes wired internally with DH Labs Red Wave cable. If your budget is leaner than $500, you can also consider this from Pangea and get a g... 
Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000
@audphile1 Now I’m sad. I drive an Audi, not a fancy one, and I love it. My wife’s Hyundai Santa Fe cost more than it because it’s bigger, but my Audi is quieter and more comfortable. Now I best go to a Hyundai forum and bash the heck out of their... 
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
@shkong78 You’re not the only person I know that had stomach issues at show time. A friend from my town made it on Friday but was sick all of Saturday from something he ate on Friday night. Any chance you guys ate the same thing? I hope you feel b... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@mediaferret the biggest difference between the N150 and the N200 is a blacker, lower noise floor and a wider/deeper soundstage. Depending on your DAC and the overall resolution of your system, I’ve found the improvements can be minimal to substan... 
Give Up on Bacch?
@treepmeyer It sounds like you have many hesitations but are wanting to be convinced. You should follow your instinct and return it, perhaps with the intent to revisit it at a later date. You can also ask Edgar to extend the trial period, which he... 
Aurender AP20 Impressions
@hgeifman I have heard AGD amps on multiple occasions now. My brother owns the AGD Audion, and I have a client who owns the Gran Vivace. The Gran Vivace will soon be in my possession to test in my own system and also list on commission.  I’ll say... 
Aurender AP20 Impressions
@cundare2 I apologize for the delay in my response, it’s been hectic trying to wrap up to get to AXPONA this week. While I haven’t heard the R 2500 R, I have enough experience with other T+A electronics to make an educated assumption in their pres...
