| Solid State Phono Stages @photomax I appreciate your call out very much, thanks. I was worried it might go that route myself and glad it did not. A somewhat fitting statement, someone I work with introduced me to “The Platinum Rule”. Where the golden rule says to treat ot... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Hey @rauliruegas - thanks for your thoughts and making me look into it. Are talking about the BMC unit? The Audionet claims +-.2db. While the BMC doesn’t list the spec, they publish the chart, which is almost completely flat (0db deviation) from 6... | |
| Moved countries, help me get a new stereo system My goodness, you’re in Denmark. Get yourself immersed in some Dutch audio brands beyond Dyn! If you haven’t bought them, look into Scansonic. The MB series were designed by Michael Borresen of Raidho, modified by Benno Melgaard of Gamut. Incredibl... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages So just to update this thread, I’ve made a few decisions and settling on two phono stages actually. The first is on the Audionet PAM G2 with outboard EPC power supply. Should go perfectly with my cartridge, and the engineering of the unit fascina... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @herman many thanks for having me revisit aaudioimports.com. I tried before from laptops and the site wouldn’t load for me, but today it worked on my phone. I’ve sent an email to the distributor to inquire. For others commenting on Whest, Musi... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @herman I just came across the MCCI Signature ULN myself two days ago and was very intrigued by it! Can you share where you got yours from? I can’t find any dealers in the USA and I trued contacting BMC directly and did not get a response. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @tyray I don’t think anyone else on this thread makes a direct comparison, but lots of useful info here. I participated in this thread as well, and Dan Wright too commented. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/herron-vtph-2a-vs-modwright-ph-9-0 | |
| Linlai Elite vs Psvane Acme 845 @sns I think the Grant Fidelity change was a bit of both. There was some friction coming from Psvane, but in the fine print, some of the quality control issues emerge: ”FYI, in the past 12 months, Grant Fidelity have returned 161 tubes from the f... | |
| Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else? @smodtactical The T+A is “blacker” than the C900u, and the C900u is more refined overall. T+A is more emotional, exciting and engaging in my opinion. But everyone’s preferences vary! | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @lohanimal Not offended and agree with you that written communications on forums can be misconstrued given lack of supporting tone at times. I, too, was just further stating my case in my response. Good to hear your recommendations, they are appre... | |
| Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else? @smodtactical Yes, the P 3000 HV. I got an incredible deal off it last year from a fellow friend. Probably the most musical, resolving, natural, all-in-all wonderful preamp I ever heard and owned. And I’ve owned a lot of preamps. Loved it so much ... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @ghdprentice We're understanding each other. Musical and detailed to me also has bad connotations. For me, analytical allows me to "see" into the music. Being detailed is not always good if the detail is not being presented well. If it's just in y... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages +1 @pindac! Wonderfully said. I would say that in both cases, either across industry events, working directly with manufacturers, and buying/selling on the used market has expanded my network in ways I value sometimes more than the gear I end up g... | |
| Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please @barts For USB I'd recommend no longer than 2M, but it's not as meticulous as it is with coax/75ohm cables that work best exactly at 1.5M. Anything from .5M-2M should work optimally. Longer isn't horrible either. | |
| Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else? And FWIW, as good as the BHK was, it too had the slightest roundness at the top that could not be resolved by any tube or cable change, and it affected it from being an endgame piece. It was my one gripe, as the rest of the unit performed like a 5... |
