| Better interconnects than Paragon within $800? I have a pair of Ridge Street Audio Poeima!!! in my system now that you may want to look into. Not the typical silver sonic signature. Very clean and smooth. These are 40% off list price right now and come with a 30 day trial. A couple of other ca... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... If it is still available I'll give the Purist Audio a whirl. Otherwise I may lean toward the Silver Audio Powerburst 2. I've been wanting to try Purist Audio cables for a while (actually my Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII is wired with it) and as you s... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Nsgarch - Thanks for the clarification. Pure Note and Volex fall into #1 as they are UL compliant according to their literature. VH Audio uses foil and braid as in #2 from what I could gather. I am not sure about Silver Audio as they use soem type... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Greenman - I think the Wattmaster may be overkill on the Hagerman and at 8 gauge is more suitable for an amp. However, the Powerburst 2 looks pretty viable and will save me some cash.Nsgarch - I would like some recommendations if you could as I'm ... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... The term fully shielded was how it was expressed in the Hagerman manual. I suppose shielded is probably the better term. I'm using an Audience on the unit right now which is not shielded and that I am going to switch to a new CDP that will be put ... | |
| low resistance and highest quality Speaker cables I second the Alpha Core. I'm using the MI-2 Veracity speaker cables with excellent results. | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin sirspeedy, Thanks for the advice. The intermat material on top of my platter does not appear to be glued on very well and peels back easily. Worth a try. | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin I also use an after market pc on the ps and vacuum pump with nice results. I have also heard replacing the stock umbilical wire connector between the TT and ps also gives some improvement. | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? I have also heard that Joule is no longer supporting the Vamp. They discontinued selling the Vamp due to the high cost of production and I have to imagine parts and such are increasingly harder to come by. I was interested myself in a Vamp, but no... | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin Sit,Any advice on tweeks and grounding you can offer? Feel free to email me if you like. | |
| phono preamp advice At your budget the K&K Audio phono stage should be considered. Also, a couple other options are Decware ($1400) and the Hagerman Coronet ($1k). All of these are tube designs and except for the Decware, one piece units. The Decware is quite com... | |
| Tube Amp Around $1000 Cary's are classic in my opinion. They have the lush mids and tend to sacrifice a little on the extremes. Some call them warm and fat. One thing for sure, they have the Cary house sound for their sonic signature. It's pretty noticeable so if it's ... | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin I owned a SOTA Star with the separate power suppply and vacuum pump. The best thing about owning it is that rather than having to go out and replace it for a few thousand dollars or more with a new TT, I was able to have SOTA refrurbish and upgrad... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? I like the analogy. It's got me wondering how a Berning would sound with a Joule LA-100 MkIII preamp, or whether I should save up for the Joule amps. They come around used around $6k or so. | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Paul K - Funny, the Joule uses OA2 tubes as well, along with a pair of 6EM7 in the power supply. The signal path has a 5751 and 6350 for the mu follower. It is a pretty low gain preamp, but my amp is 30db and .8V sensitivity. I also have no issue ... |
