| Phono cables I have a luxman integrated and tried running a regular interconnect with a separate ground wire I made. It was almost 8' long which I'm not sure might be pushing it. It was from the output of a technics SL1100 table. I was getting the most insa... | |
| rega P8 Ania pro setup questions Howard, I have to say I was quite unimpressed by the Planar 8 compared to my VPI classic 3 with Ortofon Cadenza Black. I played for a while in my main system then put in in my office system. Still unimpressed in the office and with the shor... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I have found I like the sound of the spdif output vs AES with the same cable (audioquest diamond) on each into my DCS Rossini DAC. I also spent some time comparing the Audio Envy digital spdif cable to the audioquest diamond and was hoping the ch... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Personally I would try a tube amp. I have the 30.8 and the First Watt J2 and F6 and have compared many other solid state amps to my Decware Zen triode as well as the Feliks Arioso 300B amp. I always hear what I would call grain from the solid st... | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 I don't have the XA 25 but I do have the 30.8, the F6 and the J2. I like them all I think the F6 has the most delicate sound. The 30.8 sounds like it's 3X as powerful as either of the first watts but maybe a little more harshness to the sound bu... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition I think you could put the Schiit Freya + on your list. Quite a bit below your 2500 price range but if you put some nice tubes in it, it really comes to life. I have both the Freya + with CBS Hytron tubes and the Benchmark LA4 and I prefer the so... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 One slight gripe on the RS2 T is that you can actually hear the transport making noise when playing the disc. I sit sometimes at the computer which is about 5 ft away from the transport and it's actually pretty annoying when you are playing somet... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. I ended up getting a Project CD Box RS2 T. It's a nice upgrade over the audiolab. I'm really enjoying the tunes and having been adding to my CD collection daily. Now I need to build some shelves to hold them all. I know this is somehow a touch... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 organic presentation is a good description. Please do share your findings on the LPS, I will be trying one too but am going to enjoy the ride as it goes for now. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I got the RS2 transport and wow it's fantastic. It's a nice step up from the Audiolab 6000. I'm not in love with the build quality or clunkiness of inserting and playing CDs with the puck but I'll take it for the sound. I'm really thrilled. I ... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? You know what the Doctor says to patient? It hurts when I do "x" Doctor-then don't do "x" Yeah no sheet. I was looking for a solution to having to turn down the volume or mute each time I change the record. Just pointing out that if left at... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? The thump is loud, very loud if it's at the full volume I would play an LP at. I guess you guys are saying it's normal and I just have to live with. It's there no matter the table or phono stage and even does basically the same thing in a whole ... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I'm going to get the Project RS2. I found a place to buy one. It will go either spdif or AES. I have both options on the Rossini. I have audioquest Diamond cables here for either of those as well as the Audio Envy spdif cable. Audio Envy cabl... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 Hey all you CD transport experts been reading this thread. I have a DCS Rossini DAC and clock that I added an Audiolab 6000 CDT to. I had a few discs I could not stream or even find to play on youtube. I am pretty floored how good this sounds a... | |
| rega P8 Ania pro setup questions I looked closely and one of the head shell wires was actually touching the record which is what was causing the mis tracking. I bent it up out of the way and set the tracking force back to 2.0 and seems to be tracking OK now. |
