| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... No, I have all the "old" vinyl I want. I had two friends with stores. I can't think of an "old" title I want. I will buy new vinyl I like/want when it is released but we won't have any need to "fight" or compete for that(hopefully). No loss or gai... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... Thanks everyone, the truth hurts sometimes. I don't have a limitless budget or even $5K. I shoulda bought a VPI or a Clearaudio when I was a dealer. As to this : my words: I prefer good/creative engineering to slighlty better fidelity anyday.reply... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... I don't care much for SACD and have only 15-20 discs. Don't get me wrong it does sound better than the same title on redbook its just that so little of it appeals to me titlewise. I bought the player for its superior redbook playback. My favorite ... | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? Is the thrill gone a bit? Maybe so. We are really excited when we first get the bug and often people spend much more and get that small** improvement and get a little disenchanted. Its that way with anything...... I gotta tell you I think Diana Kr... | |
| David Sanborn's "Night Music" and Ivo Papasov was on there too......I miss the show | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... NsGarch- you wrote: ET, don't take my word for it; just look up the MC vs. MM gain specifications for any preamp with a built-in MM/MC phono section, or any phono preamp that accomodates both MM and MC, and you will see what I'm talking about.But ... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... To Dan Ed - I got the Trivista for $2682 brand new as an accomodation whilst in the business. As a music lover how can vinyl hold the same place in anyones heart since only 1% or so of new releases are on vinyl. I love old and new stuff but I have... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... In response to Jyprez thanks for bringing up that point. I did a lot of comparing. I used the same title on vinyl and CD as well as other recordings and one thing is always the same. The image is inferior on the vinyl rig and the HF is slightly ni... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... My Grado is 4.0 mv (its a wood body hi output master) as the tag that came with it states. It does not overdrive the Concerto. In fact as my original post states fidelity overall is similar w/ a slight edge in the HF area going to the vinyl rig. T... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... Thanks everyone. I need to reclearify some points: I didn't use good grammer but MC is where I want to be, I prefer it to MM. With a passive linestage I need 2.5v out of the phono pre and couldn't find one with enough gain to give me that. My curr... | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... To Nsgarch -thanks for the reply. You wrote: The cartridge is a hi-output, moving iron device hardly in the same league as your MF player, and God-knows what kind of ancient tonearm cable is coming out of your Thorens, which is no doubt badly in n... | |
| Dual Subwoofer Question 2 subs will give more bass and "potentially" better bass. The most important thing is how you manage them. A lot of things come into play: placement,settings etc. Even when I set up one sub I use "tools" to maximize results. Someone mentioned the ... | |
| Ultimate Outlet vs. PS Audio P300 As others said the regenerator (P300) has limitations. It is best used on your front end. I use one on my CDP and phono pre, my linestage is passive. I will never get rid of it! I am stunned with its results on my CDP's (MF Trivista) fidelity and ... | |

| DC Metro It was a great time for sure, fairly laid back which was nice. Great hosts for sure! I look forward to the next meeting! Thanks to Larry and all others and Cary for bringing gear and discussing it. ET |
