| Phase Inversion in Preamplifer? Newbee - At least in my experience, the Joule LA-100 MkIII and Cary SLP-98 use cathode (in the Joule's case it is a Mu) followers and both inverted phase. | |
| Wanted:Warm, Sweet preamp. Budget allowing I would also second the Joule (LA-100 MkIII) or Cary SLP-98. I have had both in my system and although the Joule still remains the Cary is an excellent product. There have been some used Joule preamps on Audiogon of late priced qui... | |
| Phase Inversion in Preamplifer? I have to say that the whole phase inversion thing leaves a bit to be desired. Much good advice has already been posted. From my perspective, I have a Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII that inverts phase and a Hagerman Trumpet phonostage that has a polar... | |
| Ear Master One by Accoustic Reality Same here, tried to contact them but no response. I heard of them through Audiogon member Dazzdax. | |
| "Best" RCA IC's USED OR NEW LESS THAN $225 Reality Cables are at the top of your budget new. Auricle Audio are a great deal and usually available here via auction for well under your budget. Used Nordost Red Dawn or Blue Heaven ables would also fall within your budget. | |
| Please help with interconnects I'll second the Auricle Audio ICs and Alpha Core speaker cables. I have heard the Audio Auricle Signature and Encore KA and find them to be very good at their price point. If you like transparency and detail these are excellent choices in your bud... | |
| which preamp sounds most transparent? Jtgofish - I don't disagree with you. I'm not giving up my active linestage. I like the K&K TVC for digital playback at the moment. I wasn't as enthused about it with analog (vinyl) playback. It was very good, but my Joule preamp was better. | |
| Turntable in $2500-3500 range for SME IV.Vi arm ? I have read where the SOTA tables work quite nicely with SME arms. The Nova Series V is in your budget. I own one and am considering the SME IV or V arm to replace my Kuzma Stogi. | |
| which preamp sounds most transparent? I just received a custom built K&K Audio TVC that uses S&B transformers. Initial impressions are that it is very transparent and the ability to control the ICs (which can be a problem with other passive designs) is not an issue. | |
| Goldpoint Passive Preamps Oz - I took possession of the K&K TVC today. It took all of 5 minutes to hook up. I'm using Brian Kyle's Xtreme X-2 Copper/Silver hybrid cables he loaned me for the output to the amp. Is this thing for real? It sounds amazing and it hasn't eve... | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? I have the Haley and agree with the others who have posted their experience with the RSA line (non-balanaced power). I have a Cardas Golden pc with the Haley, but will probably upgrade to the RSA/Cardas Mongoose. I'm also tempted to get a Duke for... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... I am getting the TRL modified Sony DVP-NS900V with the additional battery power modification. This is an interesting mod in that the battery power supply only affects the analog stage. The digital stage will still require a pc and that is where I'... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Audphile - The Audience is a tad warmer than the Purist Audio Museaus, at least that is what I am hearing now. After the pc has had a chance to break in we'll see if that remains the same. My guess is it will, and it will exhibit some more of the ... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Just wanted to provide an update. The Purist Audio Museaus arrived. I purchased it from the Cable Company and thought it was used, but it is actually new in original packaging. Solid cable and very well constructed. It is also flexible so it can b... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Which is why my latest digital purchase is battery powered. Not only do I want to isolate it from the wall. I want to isolate it from my other gear. |
