| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? Pro-Ject Tube Box S2, add some good aftermarket 12AX7 tubes. | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable @holmz You are correct in both points but it does not necessarily prove me wrong. Any lowering in impedance, say from an improved dielectric and quality of conductor typically results in a faster, more open sound. Yes there may be very little curr... | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable As far as RCA sub cables go, I’ve only compared DH Labs sub cables, and not against cables that are meant for full frequencies. That said, the DH Labs Thunder cable, which is made of pure silver coated copper conductors, proprietary shielding and ... | |
| Where to go from here? As the Denon is a mid-fi AV receiver, I would look at DAC that also has a great preamp section. Otherwise you would have to worry about the extra cables you need in between and for power as well. I may sound biased as I am an authorized dealer fo... | |
| Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime I don’t think the 8TB is full. It’s just the total space @lalitk has. I do own some DSD albums that are about 2-4GB each. I’ve gone the same route where I went from 600 to 400 vinyl about six months ago. Luckily I’ve kept my digital library well ... | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable It will depend on who you ask, but most people who believe in investing in quality cables including me will say yes. I say it like this because any cable thread is bound to go south on this forum. Sub cables typically have differences in both th... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III The Scansonics the @jetter listed is being sold by Alfred Kainz if Highend Electronics. @musicaddict The Borresen Z3 Cryo I now own we’re sold to me by Tyler Mueller at Next Level as well. Both Alfred and Tyler are amongst my favorite dealers ... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III @jerryg123 We will have to agree to disagree. I had the PL HP with KT150s and Brimar CV4003, SR blue fuses and aftermarket power cord. I owned the Scansonic MB-6B, and they powered an 18x23 room. It wasn’t endgame reference, but it was quite satis... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III @jerryg123 Agree, but compared to the OP's Cambridge Azur 851A, it's a great step up. | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III @missioncoonery Which Primaluna did you have, and did you upgrade the tubes and fuses in them? In stock form, PL is not so great, but considering the OP's system, it's not a bad choice. Upgrading to top notch tubes and upgrading the fuses, as well... | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary I used to only have one system and was buying and selling and swapping gear. After a while, I had enough to make almost a second system. While my primary system has always been conventional 2- or 3- or 4-way, my second system became both a mix of ... | |
| Newbie seller Agree the package likely was delivered and tracking wasn't updated. USPS is the worst. As a dealer, I only ship gear with Fedex if I can (unless using third-party logistics solutions). Even UPS is more likely to damage items in transit. | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes @roxy54 How is the preamp sounding to you, and what more do you want out of it? If you're looking for a Telefunken-like sound with an added clean sparkle on top, the Amperex JAN 7308 with white lettering is pretty close. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage Carry it on, don't check it in. It will pass through security, but it might need to be checked by the TSA when you take it out of your luggage. My best friend just took a very complicated DIY Don Sachs tube phono stage with large Hashimoto transfo... | |
| Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question @testrun This thread is about the PH9.0, which typically doesn't have a tube rectified power supply. That said, the older SWP 9.0 did and rolling that tube led to substantial upgrades! Did you have a PH9.0 with a tube rectified power supply? I ask... |
