| If you have a Steelhead- I used 7DJ8s in my Herron preamp and enjoyed the exact same benefits as you. I would suggest buying multiple sets as they didn’t last more than 18 months in that application. Totally worth it though. Love your gear! | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? I am aware of that seller. I was also looking at the Cadenza Black he had. | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? @rdk777 What’s your phono preamp? That’s my dream arm, by the way. Always looking for deals but they never pop up! My DL103 is an Ana Mighty Rebuilt. I'm really thinking my lack of gain is the issue now. | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? Yeah, that's the other thing, and I think you are confirming it. Maybe I just need to try the Auditorium 23 SUT before I venture into new cartridges? I've been trying to avoid it because of aesthetic issues. I'm really tight on space and another c... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? Hmm, I just read that .5 is good down to 56db so I'm guessing that the XI and the Blue would work now that I'm researching it more carefully. It also depends on the cleanliness of the gain in the preamp and I'm pretty good there. Maybe I'll just g... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? @Dover- I'm actually very happy with the arm. No bass issues. I've mounted cartridges I can't afford on it and I was blown away by how balanced and transparent this arm sounds compared to many high priced arms I've used in the past. People are squ... | |
| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? I'm willing to spend $2500 (probably used so someone else takes the depreciation) and I'm just looking for a streamer/dac. I have everything else. Lately I've been building up a VPI Aries 1 with a Fatboy arm after a long succession of vintage/mode... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? Yes, and I don't think he ended up keeping the Zephyr, or at least I know of someone who didn't... not sure it's the same person. I only have 58db of gain so I'm on the outside looking in on the ATs although maybe it's worth a try- but if I'm look... | |
| Phoenix Eagle Versions? Haven’t talked to Bill but I found out from a long time user: The Falcon was 5W and the Eagle 15W. Later, 25W Eagles were made and I was incorrect that they say 15W on the PSU. Apparently really rare. At least I know what mine is now.... | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? I think he’s referring to this one? Looks pretty good for that price!https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H5DBZTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? I use a 20 year old WallyScale. While it is somewhat Rube Goldbergish, it still works quite well.I noticed they were bringing it back but their other stuff is SO expensive so I'm guessing it will cost an arm and a leg. | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? Built like a piece of jewelry,Definitely one of these in my future! And probably an Ortofon scale. | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? Still have my Transcriptor just because, but use a digitalas my go to.That is such a cool vintage piece! | |
| The best TT system for under 30K I am convinced now that I've upgraded to a Fatboy Arm on my VPI Aries that the two most important parts of a vinyl audio system are the arm and the phono preamp. All the 4Point suggestions are really spot on. One of the best arms available. Then I... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Been enjoying a Klaudio KD CLN LP200 ultrasonic cleaner for a few years and really cannot image going back to a conventional cleaner like my old Keith Monk record cleaning machine. Today, the fact that we have so many more options by way of ultras... |
