| Meitner MA-3 vs Lampizator Baltic 4 One needs to audition at home equipment of interest. Everyone has an opinion and often not based on data. | |
| Meitner MA-3 - direct or with preamp? I have a MA-3 and with many sources I need to use a preamp, an Ayre KX-5 Twenty. I did try the MA-3 direct to the Ayre VX-5 Twenty amp and did not hear any difference. | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. @anotherbob, spend some time reading at https://www.hearingtracker.com/ Be sure to study "Community/Hearing Loss Forum" and visit the DIY pages. If there is Costco in your country it should be your first stop. There is only a small number of m... | |
| You ended up with Ayre, what are your speakers? I have an Ayre VX-5 Twenty driving a pair of Quad ESL 63. I play mostly jazz and classical. I also use two JL Audio 12" subs. Not looking for anything else. | |
| DAC’s Best if you listen with a MA3 in your system, either borrowed or purchased. At the price offered you could sell it with little to no loss if needed. I find special network gear upstream from the MA3 is not needed. I think for better sound than ... | |
| Help Tracking Down Michell Armboard for Rega Tonearm The Canadian importer for Michell lists the armboard but none in stock. https://artech-electronics.com/shop/ols/products/silver-armboard-for-rega-tecnoarm The USA importer is Fidelity Imports https://fidelityimports.com/pages/introducing-mic... | |
| Help Tracking Down Michell Armboard for Rega Tonearm What about getting one made by a woodworker. I made a board for my orbe SE from laminated maple. You just need a few dimensions. | |
| Best way to digitize LP's Vinylstudio is another software product you can use to convert formats, split tracks, scan for clicks and pops, manually edit a track. I suggest recording as DSD and convert to PCM with software. A good job is a big effort and I think only a goo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ketchup, I used epoxy to attach the flat springs to the 15 cm I-beam. | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? Add the Meitner MA3 streamer/DAC/volume control (optional use) to your list. | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections Look for the number of line inputs, power outputs, line level recorder output if needed. Multiple power outputs are needed if you want to use subs, may need single ended or balanced for that. The Ayre KX-5 Twenty checks the boxes for me. | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? @chowkwan, the Orbe SE is modified with a Gert Pedersen kit that transforms the TT (no springs part of it), https://www.pedersensgyro.dk/ The cartridge is a DS Audio W2, an optical transducer that benefits from no anti-skating forces of a properl... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? You probably need to make an armboard. The dimensions to locate the arm are in the ET 2 manual. I made one from strips (for seasonal stability) of birch for an Michell Orbe SE. | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @bigwave1, I am using a DIY power cable with a shield and Furutech connectors. Also using an Elgar isolation transformer (from the days when I had digital spaghetti) and the MA3 sits on a Gingko Cloud 10. | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac Do you mean Meitner MA3 ? I play files on NAS and Tidal using ROON with MA3 connected to the home Netgear switch with 70 feet of CAT5. I have had in the system for two years an Uptone Audio EtherRegen and an EMM Labs NS1 (Toslink to MA3). Both no... |
