New Synergistic Research Record Mat I have the HRS record weight and saw the new SR weight at kind of a silly price ($895) but read the reviews for a while as well as emailed a few guys who upgraded from the HRS to the SR and felt the improvement in sound quality would be worth the ... | |
What's my ideal music server? Read and recommend please I went from a PC based set up to an Aurender N10 and the N10 blew it away in both ease of use, lack of needing to be a network admin to get things going, and a definite sound improvement. I would KEEP AWAY from USB at ANY and ALL costs as the USB... | |
Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition) I entered the tube phono stage world with a Rhea Asthetix a few years ago and it blew my mind. I just upgraded to an Allnic H3000 and am thrilled. Used Rhea's should be available for what your looking to spend and I don't think you can find much... | |
preamp-how important is separate enclosure for pwr supply? If you really want to see an improvement, go with a batter powered preamp - wow! | |
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? I have purchased items here for 20 years and have had all excellent experiences, even made some great friends and built an incredible system that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. Having purchased as much gear as I have, I have accum... | |
Phono stage or pre Amp? which is most important. I think both. If the preamp is not resolving enough, the resolution of the phono stage will not make its way through. I upgraded a few years ago from a AyreK5xe MP Preamp to a Jeff Rowland Criterion and the sonic improvement was staggering. I j... | |
HRS ADH Record Weight I love my HRS Heavy. Anyone compare it to the Synergisitc Research UEF? | |
Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? I picked one up a few months ago and count not be happier. Obvious sonic improvement - even on clean, brand new records. | |
Tube phono preamp vs parasound hint phono stage I just replaced by Asthetix Rhea (tube phone stage) for an Allnic H3000 (tube phone stage) (my preamp is the Jeff Rowlins Criterion) and the improvement was STAGGERING. I don't think its necessarily a tube phone stage but getting an excellent pho... | |
Control volume with DAC or Preamp? I have a Berkley Alpha in my small system (with preamp) and Berkley says set their dac to 51 (volume) when using a preamp. There should be an optimal setting on the dac and you should control the volume with the preamp. Volume control on the dac... | |
Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? I picked up the Degritter back in August and couldn't be happier. This is impressive. Records seriously sound better and you really can turn a dollar record from a garage sale into a keeper. Highly recommended. | |
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? I have an Aurender N-10/Esoteric K-03 and both Tidal and Qobuz and its just super convenient and excellent sounding. You have to get away from PCs. Routers and all that stuff doesn't matter any more with a one box streamer solution. You still ne... | |
Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I played around w/o a [preamp for a while (Esoteric K03) but when I added a preamp, my life changed. You really need a good preamp to have incredible midrange, depth and texture, resolution, etc. Try it. Game Changes. I started with an Ayre (s... | |
Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? I have always preferred separates. My dream since a kid and fortunate enough to have a Jeff Rowland Criterion preamp and Sanders MagTech amps. To me, I have one of the ebst pre amps and amps available and I do not believe one manufacture who makes... | |
Qobuz. I just joined closed beta this week. Looking forward to canceling my relationship with Jay Z. Qobuz hires blows away my standard tidal. I’m running tidal and Qobuz through aurender n10. |
