The Singxer SU-1 and F-1 are at the top of the heap right now .The group @ Head Fi have this topic covered .There is much SQ in the choice of a good DDC 
review iPhono 2
Thank you Raul . The Technics statement gear from that era is outstanding . I have just received a Grace F-9 with out a stylus . I see that Sound Smith has some choices any thoughts ?    I have a high mass tone arm  
review iPhono 2
Hi Audiofun it is good to hear that the I Phono 2 does not need any help. Can you comment  on the use of a SUT before the IFI . I am using a Techniques SH305S SUT before mine and have the IFI set @  36 db . I am enjoying this phono stage very much !  
review iPhono 2
Thank you Raul & audiofun . I know the Jewltone is a outstanding cartridge . What I am about to say may offend many . It sounds like a great digital front end . If I want my records to sound warm and romantic I have a Ortofon SL15  but  for no...

If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy?
Raul I have to agree with Tubegroover on this one . Like I said in another post " some people like pleasant distortion " In the US wehave a ice cream  store called Baskin Robbins and they have 31 flavors . The best thing about this hobby is you ca... 
If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy?
I understand that and do . My system has 4 tubes the phase inverter tube a 12at7 type makes the biggest change in the tone . I use a SS digital pre with a TVC volume control . I like having a one tube roll  
Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit?
The Ares looks very tempting . I have a Metrum Octive feed by a Foccusrite Red Net 3 AOIP and love it . I wonder how the Ares compares to the Metrum ?     
If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy?
One thing about Raul is he can make you think . This is a tube rolling thread after all . The question I ask myself if different tubes sound different then maybe he is right . I know it is nice to use tubes to change the flavor to our liking but i...

I can see it now a Mexican on a big white horse wearing a tee shirt with a picture of a 300b with a circle with a cross through it .Ok Raul I agree with the DD turntable camp as well as the multiple subwoofers and have heard the Technics epc 205 c...

The anti tube strikes again !  
Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200
Satisfying - Good point I have a SL1210 Mk5 and was talking to my tech and told him that I found my digital front end sounded better than my vinyl rig . His answer was it should be the other way around . I week later he had offered me a 12 " Alfre...
