| Grading of phono cartridges Part 3 Grgaudio. Amazing work, amazing. Your list is now 5+ years old. Any chance you can update with experiences since when you originally put this together? | |
| Speaker for Nagra VPA Just closing the loop on this. Purchased a pair of Tidal Amea bookshelf speaker. Sound is very good. May need more power than the 50 W VPAs. | |
| PS Audio Power regenerator Thanks for feedback. My amps are consuming 300 W each. Connected a few days ago one amp to each power outlet bank. Hum level mid 30 dB. Then I added CD/SACD/DAC, Preamp and turntable. Hum went up to 50 dB in one channel. The channel with onl... | |
| Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm Thank you all for input. Conrad-Johnson phono is 40 dB. I have checked other preamps for moving coil, they would suggest 60 dB is a good target amplification. So I need 20 to 24 dB. The Chorale is rated at .35 MV. I have feedback that suggest... | |
| Subwoofer for Tidal Amea (like Focal Sopra) Thank you so much. It sounds as this will be SVS. I want to be able to control from phone with an App. | |
| Foam around treble units/ tweeters Thank you all. Let me follow up on the leads and see what will work!!! Jamac seems a very interesting shop. Thanks so much! | |
| 43 dB noise level from speaker with amps (not including pre-amp) Thank you all! 1. I am using a basic dB app.Decibel X.on iPhone Any other suggestions? I realize it is not NIST and not calibrated. Nice toy. 2. App is helpful. I compared impact by moving the tonearm pump to another room. Dropped 7 to 8... | |
| Upgrading ET-2 tonearm to something better Thank you. Good responses. I believe ET-2 is a very good arm and your comments confirm. Also DS Audio 003 is an amazing cartridge. Thank you for your support! | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and Node2i with Oppo Sonica DAC Thank you. I think there will be a new streamer coming first Sonore seems to make some good unit. Thanks for all comments and support. Always helps me move further. | |
| Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby Thank you for the comments. I am not going Marantz SA-KI Ruby based on above. As you have pointed out there are other choices. Marantz Holy Grail is the SA-10, not the Ruby. The $ 1,000 discount may be due to move units sitting in boxes. I h... | |
| Origin Live company support To add to my story. Hyendaudio fixed it. Feedback: The control board needed soldering and minor repair and the motor with less than 200 hours needed replacement. | |
| Replacement motor for Oracle Delphi turntable Thank you. hyendaudio did a complete rebuild of my two Oracle Delphi tables. Outstanding work. | |
| Best battery type for Nagra PL-P Good Morning. Restarting thread as I am up for replacement of my 8 D cells. Nagra no longer sells the batteries. Need to buy them I hear - BatteryPlus. Any better place? I am still unsure about if NiCd or NiMh is the "right answer". Are bo... | |
| 5 cartridges - Cello, vdH, Benz, Zu, Hana - what stays and what goes? Thank you. I have an Oracle Delphi with Eminent Technology arm. Actually two tables and arms of the same (Oracle Delphi 1 and 2 and ET-2 arms). Both were recently completely overhauled.to the bone. So I could run them into my pre-amp. However,... | |
| Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player Thanks for the input. I prefer a DAC over a Modwright upgrade. A DAC is a natural fit, can easily be swapped out, would be easier to sell separately, as well as something that be used beyond the Oppo itself. My budget is $ 3,000. I was thinkin... |
