| Decware CSP2 + Hi Pubul- Did you ever purchase one of these? I also have an LDR preamp but as you stated, love the idea of a Headphone Amp/Pre combo. | |
| Single Source Tube PreAmp? Line stage. I have an ASR Basis Exclusive, so the Steelhead isn't really what I'm looking for, although I considered it when I bought the ASR but the ASR sounded better in my setup. | |
| Which phono pre with CJ Premier 14/Linn/Devore My ASR Basis Exclusive 2006 is playing some pretty incredible orchestral music right now (my wife just commented!) and it really sings with jazz. Very neutral which I think would fit in with your system nicely. They pop up used occasionally here. | |
| Ray Samuels F117 Nighthawk vs. PS Audio GCPH In that price range, I prefer the Monolithic sound PS2 and separate power supply HC1b. I liked the sound way better than the GCPH. I've only heard a F177 briefly but I preferred the PS2 in my system. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Thesoundhouse is right on the money! I've had the same experiences, almost exactly. What I finally discovered is that when I'm craving listening to music, it's never digital.... because it's just doesn't sound like a performance, no matter how man... | |
| JA Michell Gyro upgrade help, Thanks You may want to go over to the Naim forum and search Gorbe. There's a guy there that has a top notch upgraded Gyro (now with a Raven motor-- I think he documented the whole thing.) Some good reading. | |
| SME 20 SME V cartridge I'm sure a Lyra Kleos can be had for your budget or close to it....I'm sure someone is discounting it a bit in the UK. Sings on an SME 20. | |
| Simple High Quality Tube Preamp for Vinyl Only Sys I use a KT120 equipped Rogue Atlas, custom made to drive my Quad ESL57s. | |
| Simple High Quality Tube Preamp for Vinyl Only Sys I already have an ASR Basis Exclusive phono stage. I'm basically looking for a tube volume control for it. I do however plan to compare it to the K&K at some point. | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? I love HiFi. There. I said it. I also love music, but not enough to listen to much of it when I don't have a good HiFi. | |
| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? You can't go wrong with a used SME 20, which I think sneaks into your price range. I personally like an Amazon Model combined with a Moerch UP4/DP6 (depending on how you like your music, smooooth or present) arm. That's in your price range and as ... | |
| Stand out phono stages To answer to the above, I just think that all component that are good, are good objectively and we all just use them as tone controls. I'll give an example now that I have the ASR Basis Exclusive: My speakers are Quad ESL57 and they are incredible... | |
| Custom Power Supply for 6v DC Motor Awesome info! Thanks! | |
| Tube Life I have TFK 12ax7s in a lot of places and 50% could mean 10 more years depending on the circuit. Trust your ears and the poster above who said older tubes become sleepy I think is right with regard to phono stage tubes. | |
| Thread source for Loricraft RCM's;also seeking f/b I would just email Loricraft for the threat. They couldn't be nicer. I ordered a spool and a brass fitting for the nose to rest in and it got here (California) pretty fast. |
