| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier I second Accuphare & Luxman. Having heard them, they are fabulous. | |
| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs If I remember right 9K | |
| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs TW Acustic Raven Phono. 3 Inputs. 6 Loading Options. All switchable on the fly. Pure tube w. no step up transformer and 60db of gain. Only 3 tubes total in the phono stage. Extremely low noise. | |
| Logitech Harmony 890 won't operate VTL 5.5 Preamp Rootman,Yes but you need to experiment with distance between the remotes. There might be something else I don't know going on, but the VTL always gave a problem to learn. I did it but after several tries. I first programmed my VTL w. the a Homethe... | |
| Logitech Harmony 890 won't operate VTL 5.5 Preamp I had the harmony learn the codes from the VTL remote on my 7.5. This did it. | |
| Zyx Universe Break In The Cardas Sweep record has locked grooves for breakin. I have used them from time to time, but in the past year, prefer to go through the process & just enjoy listening. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I am finished w the TW Phono. Had quite a few including a custom phono, a Groove & a few more. The TW allows you to use 3 cartridges & change loading on the fly. It also has the best highs & mids I have ever heard from Vinyl. No SUT wh... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In I owned a ZYX Universe and had the exact same comments as you. The ZYX was ringy w. poor bass. It had a fairly high resonant frequency and loading it with mass helped a lot but took some of the dynamic life away. The cartridges vary between sample... | |
| Aria preamps It is a pretty accurate review. The phono stage is excellent for the price. | |
| Periphery Record Rings I would love an outer ring designed to focus the weight along the depth of the platter. This would allow me to easily integrate it w. some 9 inch arms and not interfere w. the arm rest or lift or any other part of the arm that is in the way. Inste... | |
| Titan, Transfiguration Orpheus or Air Tight PC1?? PC-1 was loaded at 500 ohms ultimately. For me the Titan I was better. Not night & day but still clearly better. I have owned both the Skala & Titan I. The description above is accurate but fails to address where the Skala's performance ex... | |
| Titan, Transfiguration Orpheus or Air Tight PC1?? Raul's advise is right on, although the Skala sounds wonderful in the Triplanar. Yes it is a balance between compromises, but it is also about controlling the energy from the Cartridge. The Skala is special. I prefer the Titan I but not in every w... | |
| Wilson Alexandria V2 Bflowers,Thanks for the informative post. I have heard some who say the ML2.1s don't have enough power. It depends on the listening level. I have only blown resistors once myself. But I really was upset and wanted to go your direction. Mind you I ... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Lamm Amps. Same speakers. Same everything but slightly different photo perspective. 100% sure. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Syntax,Your system looks exactly the same as the now deleted Thomasheisig. Are you one & the same? |
