| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? You are welcome. But remember my opinion is just another opinion. There are a lot of decent phono amps on the market. As long as you understand their strengths and weaknesses, sonic signatures or compatibilities(no matter how you call it), I belie... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Opus88: Yes, the user's manual is in lack of some useful information usually provided by other manufacturers.Nolitan: the internal SUT proves to be a decent one. I used it for MY Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent BC, ZYX Omega-S Low, Shelter 901, Denon DL-1... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Opus88, it's already been posted in Tubes Asylum...VBRDan | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Opus88: you may search threads under my account(Danwkw). But I found the post has been edited by someone...I gonna post another one in AA under the topic of tubes. Dan | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Opus88, I was referring to the higher voltage of all four PCC88/7DJ8 positions in EAR 88PB lighted up the 6922s with abnormal brightness and it sounded a bit strange(comparing to stock PCC88). I truly believe E88CC/6922s will shorten their lives i... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Tim de Paravicini don't recommend us to use 6DJ8/6922 in PCC88/7DJ8 positions or vice versa. For details, please see another post "Interview with Tim de Paravicini at High End Audio Show" I had tried to put E88CC in my EAR 88PB after the interview... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? "...88PB is as a whole lower in hum level and very stable for prolonged use as a tubed phono with more than 70dB. "It must be stressed that it was tested with maximum output level without pick-up signal. The noise and hum level of 324 and 88PB are... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? I agree with Audiomax. Using external SUT for LOMC carts is not without disadvantages as we inevitably alter the minute capacitance and, especially, impedance loadings. In brief, we have to use ultra low impedance cables/wires in order to minimize... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? I was able to compare EAR 324(all solid state) and 88PB(a hybrid JET and tubes)in my system. It was rather close in overall tonality, detail retrieval... of course, they have some major differences and my findings are as follows:1) without interna... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Congratulations, Clivet! Enjoy music and the hobby! | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Hi, Syntax. If you don't mind, please write more about your opinions on these carts under this post, even if it's rather negative. I mentioned not only once here A'gon, I don't believe myself there is any "absolute best cart" for anyone in any sys... | |
| phono preamp with volume control In my system, EAR 88PB is the best option within the same price range. Dan | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Only when most of our LP collection sounds so authentic and touching, feeling almost like "being there". Then it will be the absolute best cart for you in your system. Dan | |
| Any experience with the Audio Research PH7? IME, ARC PH7 has a bit lower than expected output gain for LOMC carts with 0.5-0.6mV output(5cm/sec @1kHz). However, it is still possible to use LOMCs if your pre amp can get the rest of the job done well(in other words, you may request more low n... | |
| Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm The dynamic compliance of AT33PTG as stated is ：10×10－6cm/dyne（100Hz）. Using this cart with your AS-309S, compliance should not be the major issue. For highly rigid TT and Ortofon arms, some more attentions need to be paid to the supporting platfo... |
