| Advice needed please. My search for a digital upgrade led me to the separates route. I tried a number of CDPs, all of them good, but none of them captured my attention enough. Ultimately I bought into the non-over/upsampling filterless design concept which are used in ... | |
| need help to mod a cd player. TRL is known for high value mods at a reasonable cost - $550 per unit. They work on lots of different CDPs including Sony. Email or call Paul Weitzel and he will tell you if what you have is worth modifiying and if so, what improvements you can ex... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I have owned a number of Cary products (new and used) since 1996. I have never had a problem requiring service with any of them. Not even a blown fuse. | |
| Digital Cable Recommendation VH Audio cables are an excellent value. Many options are available so you can tailor to your budget. | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? So far the Hagerman Trumpet with NOS RCAs. | |
| Anyone know anything about the Lite DAC 50 Vacuum kbwizard,I can tell you more about both DACs from personal experience. The difference is a little more than Auricaps. Check the ad here on Audiogon for more information or email me. | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 I thought the Modwright room had an excellent set-up. As did the Exemplar room, but mainly due to the analog set-up featuring the Galibier TT. I also enjoyed listening in the Herron room. | |
| from solid state to tube I am slowly trying to add solid state components to what is a predominantly tube set-up. I started with the digital fornt-end. Now I am trying to add a solid state phono stage and a solid state amp. In addition, a vendor I trust explicitly that ha... | |
| New cart, step-up or ??? I'm sorry I brought this thread back to life. I was just searching the archives for some information and thought it would be a good idea to post a note to see if Swampwalker and I could compare notes since we have similar components.I guess someti... | |
| Beginnners question - Phono stage A good step up transformer will work nicely. I have a K&K step up that uses Lundahl transformers ($250 as a kit, but can come assembled for an additional cost). It is tiny so it is unobtrusive and can be configured for 14db, 20db or 26db of ga... | |
| New cart, step-up or ??? Swampwalker,It's amazing I did not see this thread sooner. I have a Hagerman Trumpet that I am using with a LA-100 mkIII. I also have a SOTA Nova Series V and a Benz M2 cartridge on a Kuzma Stogi tonearm. I just got the K and K Lundahl step-up whi... | |
| ExactPower EP15A PS Audio offers a 30 day trial on their products. Worth a try based on this. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Breaking the cycle is a good idea. That is how I am breaking in my TRL modded DAC. I usually run it 48 hours, then shut it down a day, then start the cycle over again. It should take about a month to fully break in this way. | |
| Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge For what it is worth I was at the RAMF and attended a seminar by Wally Malewicz. He recommended passive demagnetizing tools such as Cardas, but was against active demagnetizing tools (I specifically asked him about the Benz Aethetix). Wally does n... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Jack,The HRS plates work really well on top of my Spendor's. I use 2 of the 4.5 x 5.5 plates on each speaker, spaced about an inch apart. I also use one of the medium plates on the top of my preamp power supply, which then sits on 3 of those rubbe... |
